  • Patent number: 10685657
    Abstract: Systems and methods for analyzing digital recordings of the human voice in order to find characteristics unique to an individual. A biometrics engine may use an analytics service in a contact center to supply audio streams based on configured rules and providers for biometric detection. The analytics service may provide call audio data and attributes to connected engines based on a provider-set of selection rules. The connected providers send call audio data and attributes through the analytics service. The engines are notified when a new call is available for processing and can then retrieve chunks of audio data and call attributes by polling an analytics service interface. A mathematical model of the human vocal tract in the call audio data is created and/or matched against existing models. The result is analogous to a fingerprint, i.e., a pattern unique to an individual to within some level of probability.

  • Publication number: 20090016501
    Abstract: An exemplary embodiment of the invention may include a system, a method and/or a computer program product for enabling detecting the off-hook status of a telephony device, including, e.g., but not limited to, monitoring an earpiece channel of the telephony device to detect an earpiece audio signal associated with a telephone call; initiating a recording of the telephone call upon detecting said earpiece audio signal on the earpiece channel; injecting a signal having a predetermined frequency into a microphone channel of the telephony device; and terminating said recording if the injected signal is not detected in a sidetone on the earpiece channel.
