Nir Moshe Krause has filed for patents to protect the following inventions. This listing includes patent applications that are pending as well as patents that have already been granted by the United States Patent and Trademark Office (USPTO).

  • Patent number: 9484037
    Abstract: Device, system, and method of liveness detection using voice biometrics. For example, a method comprises: generating a first matching score based on a comparison between: (a) a voice-print from a first text-dependent audio sample received at an enrollment stage, and (b) a second text-dependent audio sample received at an authentication stage; generating a second matching score based on a text-independent audio sample; and generating a liveness score by taking into account at least the first matching score and the second matching score.
    Type: Grant

  • Patent number: 9258425
    Abstract: In many scenarios, speaker verification systems can be given a single-channel audio with recordings of multiple speakers. To perform accurate speaker verification, a system can isolate the speech of a speaker. In one embodiment, a method, and corresponding system, of speaker verification includes extracting a target speaker's speech, using a known speaker voiceprint, from an audio recording that includes the target speaker's speech and the known speaker's speech. The known speaker voiceprint can correspond to the known speaker. Extracting the target speaker's speech can include determining portions of the audio recording where the known speaker voiceprint matches the known speaker's speech above a particular threshold, and extracting the target speaker's speech from other portions of the audio recording. In this manner, speaker verification is performed on the target speaker's speech without interference from the known speaker's speech and allows for a more accurate verification.
