  • Patent number: 10013984
    Abstract: Various embodiments of the technology described herein alleviate the need to specifically request enrollment information from a user to enroll the user in a voice biometric authentication program. For example, after receiving a call from a user, the system can identify the user and analyze the user's biometric information when the user speaks a command or request. The system can use the user's spoken command or request as enrollment information for the particular command or request or for all spoken requests. After enrollment into the voice biometric authentication program, the system can authenticate the user using biometric information before fulfilling requests or commands.

  • Patent number: 9928839
    Abstract: Methods and systems for authenticating a user are described. In some embodiments, a one-time token and a recording of the one-time token is read aloud by the user. The voice characteristics derived from the recording of the one-time token are compared with voice characteristics derived from samples of the user's voice. The user may be authenticated when the one-time token is verified and when a match of the voice characteristics derived from the recording of the one-time token and the voice characteristics derived from the samples of the user's voice meet or exceed a threshold.

  • Patent number: 9548979
    Abstract: Methods and systems for enrolling a user in an authentication program. In some embodiments, voice interaction that includes a request or command is received from a user. The user may be requested to provide authentication information to fulfill the request or command made during the voice interaction. The user may be authenticated using a first authentication method. The user may be passively enrolled into an authentication program that uses a second authentication method. Enrolling may include deriving characteristics of the user's voice from the voice interaction. After the user is enrolled in the authentication program, the second authentication method may be used to authenticate the user prior to fulfilling requests or commands made during voice navigation.
