Abstract
A receiver receives from a remote system a voice biometric sample from a party attempting to obtain a service from the apparatus using the remote system. A processor selectively determines when to request authentication of the party by a remote voice biometric system. A transmitter transmit a request to the party to provide the voice biometric sample responsive to the processor determining to request authentication of the party. The apparatus provides the service contingent upon authentication of the party by the remote voice biometric system.
Claims20
An apparatus, comprising:
- a receiver configured to receive from a remote system a voice biometric sample from a party attempting to obtain a service from the apparatus using the remote system;
- a processor configured to selectively determine when to request authentication of the party by a remote voice biometric system;
- and
- a transmitter configured to transmit a request to the party to provide the voice biometric sample responsive to the processor determining to request authentication of the party,
- wherein the apparatus provides the service contingent upon authentication of the party by the remote voice biometric system.
A method for verifying an individual's identity, the method comprising:
- receiving a voice biometric sample from a remote system from a party attempting to obtain a service from the apparatus using the remote system;
- selectively determining when to request authentication of the party by a remote voice biometric system;
- and
- transmitting a request to the party to provide the voice biometric sample in response to the processor determining to request authentication of the party,
- wherein the apparatus provides the service contingent upon authentication of the party by the remote voice biometric system.
A computer readable medium storing a program for verifying an individual's identity, comprising:
- a receiving code segment configured to receive a voice biometric sample from a remote system from a party attempting to obtain a service from an apparatus using the remote system;
- a determining code segment configured to selectively determine when to request authentication of the party by a remote voice biometric system;
- and
- a transmitting code segment configured to transmit a request to the party to provide the voice biometric sample in response to the determining code segment determining to request authentication of the party,
- wherein the apparatus provides the service contingent upon authentication of the party by the remote voice biometric system.
