Patent number: 11348077Abstract: Methods and systems for performing a pre-staged transaction, such as a cash withdrawal by a user or a user's surrogate, employ a host server that receives pre-staged ATM transaction data via a first communication channel from a user's mobile device and sends a first unique authentication token via a second communication channel to the user's mobile device processor. An ATM processor receives entry of a pre-staged ATM transaction request and the first unique authentication token and sends the entered pre-staged ATM transaction request and first unique authentication token to the host server for validation, which validates the received pre-staged ATM transaction input data and the entered first unique authentication token.Type: GrantFiled: December 12, 2016Date of Patent: May 31, 2022Assignee: CITIBANK, N.A.Inventors: Jayant M. Naik, Giridhar Narayanan, Matthew John Yuschik, Ajay Warrier, Jiachun Zhang

Patent number: 7609822Abstract: Methods and apparatus for controlling and retrieving messages from multiple voice mail systems used by a single individual are described. A voice messaging retrieval and forwarding (VMRAF) system checks a subscriber's voice message systems for messages, retrieves the messages and forwards them to the subscriber as attachments to E-mail files. E-mail replay messages are used to control deleting of the messages from the original systems. Prompt messages played to callers by different voice messaging systems before they leave a message can be updated automatically. This is done by indicating to the VMRAF system when one or more prompt messages are to be updated and which messages, from a set of prerecorded messages, are to be loaded into the voice message systems to replace the existing prompt messages. Accordingly, the VMRAF system facilities message retrieval and the updating of prompt messages, e.g., on a preselected schedule or at preselected times.Type: GrantFiled: October 11, 2006Date of Patent: October 27, 2009Assignee: Telesector Resources Group, Inc.Inventors: Loren Swingle, Craig L. Reding, John Reformato, Jayant M. Naik, Robert C. Baruch

Patent number: 7254220Abstract: SMDI messages are used by the SMDI message server to generate either E-mail notifications of received messages which are forwarded to a user of the VMS or to supply VMS message status information to a voice message retrieval and forwarding system using IP messaging instead of SMDI FSK or PSK signaling. SMDI messages between a stored program controlled switching system, e.g., C.O. switch, and a voice message system are monitored by the SMDI message server of the present invention, e.g., by inserting a Tee into the SMDI link between the C.O. switch and VMS. The SMDI message server uses the directory number information and/or a message line identifier included in a received SMDI message to identify a subscriber or voice message retrieval and forwarding system which should be notified of the received SMDI message information.Type: GrantFiled: April 6, 2001Date of Patent: August 7, 2007Assignee: Telesector Resources Group, Inc.Inventors: Craig L.

Patent number: 7020249Abstract: Interfacing to and controlling POTS line conditioning devices using a Voice Interface Unit (VIU) are described. Technicians perform tests and checks while a POTS line is in a conditioned state. The VIU provides a centralized voice input/voice output interface allowing technicians to identify and request various conditioning options using speech. The VIU identifies a line conditioning unit to be used to test a line corresponding to a phone number via a database lookup. The VIU controls the identified line conditioning unit to connect to the POTS line. The VIU provides the technician with an easy to use voice input/output universal interface irrespective of the particular manufacturer/model of line conditioning device by performing conversions to the various protocols and instruction sets used by different manufactures. The VIU includes individual security controls and multiple access levels. The VIU may include load/simulator, call back, and keypad test capability.Type: GrantFiled: April 5, 2004Date of Patent: March 28, 2006Assignee: Telesector Resources Group, Inc.Inventors: Robert H.

Patent number: 6963633Abstract: Methods and apparatus for implementing communication services such as voice dialing services are described. In one Centrex based voice dialing embodiment, voice dialing service subscribers are given access to personal voice dialing records including calling entries via the Internet as well as via telephone connections. Each calling entry normally includes the name and, optionally nickname, of a party to be called. It also includes one or more telephone numbers associated with each name. Different telephone number identifies, e.g. locations, can be associated with different names. A user can create or update entries in a voice dialing directory using text conveyed over the Internet or speech supplied via a telephone connection.

Patent number: 5832063Abstract: Methods and apparatus for activating telephone services in response to speech are described. A directory including names is maintained for each customer. A speaker dependent speech template and a telephone number for each name, is maintained as part of each customer's directory. Speaker independent speech templates are used for recognizing commands. The present invention has the advantage of permitting a customer to place a call by speaking a person's name which serves as a destination identifier without having to speak an additional command or steering word to place the call. This is achieved by treating the receipt of a spoken name in the absence of a command as an implicit command to place a call. Explicit speaker independent commands are used to invoke features or services other than call placement. Speaker independent and speaker dependent speech recognition are performed on a customer's speech in parallel.Type: GrantFiled: August 1, 1997Date of Patent: November 3, 1998Assignee: Nynex Science & Technology, Inc.Inventors: George J. Vysotsky, Ayman O. Asadi, David M. Lubensky, Vijay R. Raman, Jayant M. Naik

Patent number: 5548647Abstract: Speaker verification is performed by computing principal components of a fixed text statement comprising a speaker identification code and a two-word phrase, and principal spectral components of a random word phrase. A multi-phrase strategy is utilized in access control to allow successive verification attempts in a single session, if the speaker fails initial attempts. Based upon a verification attempt, the system produces a verification score which is compared with a threshold value. On successive attempts, the criterion for acceptance is changed, and one of a number of criteria must be satisfied for acceptance in subsequent attempts. A speaker normalization function can also be invoked to modify the verification score of persons enrolled with the system who inherently produce scores which result in denial of access. Accuracy of the verification system is enhanced by updating the reference template which then more accurately symbolizes the person's speech signature.Type: GrantFiled: April 3, 1987Date of Patent: August 20, 1996Assignee: Texas Instruments IncorporatedInventors: Jayant M.
