Abstract
Embodiments of the invention are directed to systems and methods for speech transaction processing. A location of a device associated with a user may be determined. A reference to a voice model associated with the user stored within a database may be retrieved, based at least in part on the location. A voice segment may be received from the user. Using the reference, the voice segment may be compared to the voice model stored within the database. A determination may be made whether the user is authenticated for the transaction based on the comparing step.
Claims20
A method of authenticating a user for a transaction, the method comprising:
- receiving, at a server computer, a communication indicative of a location of a communication device associated with the user;
- in response to receiving the communication, retrieving, via the server computer, a reference for accessing a voice model associated with the user, wherein the voice model is stored in a database;
- receiving, at the server computer, a voice segment from the user;
- using the reference to access the voice model stored in the database;
- comparing the received voice segment to the voice model;
- and
- determining whether the user is authenticated for the transaction based at least in part on comparing the received voice segment to the voice model.
A server computer, comprising:
- a processor;
- and
- a non-transitory computer-readable storage medium, comprising code executable by the processor for implementing a method for authenticating a user for a transaction, the method comprising:
- receiving a communication indicative of a location of a communication device associated with the user;
- in response to receiving the communication, retrieving a reference for accessing a voice model associated with the user, wherein the voice model is stored in a database;
- receiving a voice segment from the user;
- using the reference to access the voice model stored in the database;
- comparing the received voice segment to the voice model;
- and
- determining whether the user is authenticated for the transaction based at least in part on comparing the received voice segment to the voice model.
