  • Patent number: 11727939
    Abstract: A network node in a communication network receives, from a user equipment, a cluster of audio segments. The network node calculates a first confidence measure representing a first probability that a first speaker model represents a speaker of the cluster of audio segments. The network node also calculates a second confidence measure representing a second probability that a second speaker model represents the speaker of the cluster of audio segments. In response to the first confidence measure and the second confidence measure both representing probabilities that are higher than a target probability, the network node updates a first user profile associated with the first speaker model and a second user profile associated with the second speaker model based on a user preference assigned to the cluster of audio segments.

  • Patent number: 11430449
    Abstract: A management of user profiles comprises calculating, for an audio segment, a user confidence measure representing a probability that the audio segment comprises speech of a user and a group confidence measure representing a probability that the audio segment comprises speech of a group of users. A user profile is then managed based on a comparison between the user confidence measure and a user confidence threshold and between the group confidence measure and a group confidence threshold. The embodiments thereby achieve an efficient voice-controlled user profile management by utilizing a layered approach that provides user profiles for group of users as fallback when the identity of the speaking user can not accurately be recognized.

  • Patent number: 11227605
    Abstract: A management of user profiles comprises calculating, for each speaker model of at least one speaker model, a confidence measure representing a probability that the speaker model represents a speaker of a cluster of audio segments. A user profile associated with the speaker model is updated based on a user preference assigned to the cluster of audio segments if the confidence measure calculated for the speaker model represents a probability that is higher than a target probability. The embodiments achieve an efficient user profile management in a voice-controlled context but without the need for any dedicated enrollment sessions to train speaker models.
