  • Patent number: 12592239
    Abstract: Disclosed are systems and methods including software processes executed by a server that detect audio-based synthetic speech (“deepfakes”) in a call conversation. Embodiments include systems and methods for detecting fraudulent presentation attacks using multiple functional engines that implement various fraud-detection techniques, to produce calibrated scores and/or fused scores. A computer may, for example, evaluate the audio quality of speech signals within audio signals, where speech signals contain the speech portions having speaker utterances.

  • Publication number: 20250292779
    Abstract: Disclosed are systems and methods including software processes executed by a server that implement a machine-learning architecture for audio source tracing for deepfake detection. The computer extracts a feature vector representing features of the input audio signal. The machine-learning architecture includes one or more embedding extractors for extracting one or more feature vectors from the input audio signal. An attribute detector ingests an embedding and scoring layers generate a source-indicating attribute score. A source tracer includes a multi-class classifier to generate a signal source score using the attribute scores and generates a signal source class.

  • Patent number: 12026304
    Abstract: Example smart panel display apparatus and related methods are disclosed herein. An example apparatus to control a display of an electronic device includes a user presence detector to determine a presence of a user relative to the device based on image data generated by an image sensor of the device. The example apparatus includes a gaze detector to determine a direction of a gaze of the user relative to the image sensor based on the image data. The example apparatus includes a backlight manager to selectively adjust a display brightness based on the presence of the user and the direction of the gaze of the user.
