Patents by Inventor Steven Mark DiMaria

Steven Mark DiMaria 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).

  • Publication number: 20240055001
    Abstract: Prevention of voice misappropriation in voice interaction/response systems. The system relies on telemetry data, including thermal data of components to determine whether a received voice command was made by actual voice. If the voice command is determined to have been made by an actual voice, a response to the command is generated and transmitted, otherwise if the voice command is determined to have likely not been made by an actual voice (e.g., artificial means replicating a voice, such as a laser or the like), no response to the command is transmitted or action taken with respect to the command.

  • Patent number: 11521623
    Abstract: A system for identifying a speaker in a multi-speaker environment comprises a processor operably coupled with a memory. The system receives a request to identify a first speaker in an audio file. The system splits the audio file into audio snippets based on a probability of each audio snippet comprising one or more utterances being above a threshold percentage. For each audio snippet, the system generates a frequency representation of the audio snippet in a time domain. The system generates a feature vector of numerical values representing voice features associated with one or both of the first speaker and the second speaker. The system determines whether the feature vector corresponds to the target vector labeled with the first speaker. In response to determining that the feature vector corresponds to the target vector, the system determines that one or more utterances in the audio snippet are spoken by the first speaker.
