Abstract
Techniques are provided for determining two or more user-specific parameters that can be measured or obtained using various methods, and using values of the two or more user-specific parameters to uniquely identify or authenticate an individual. Examples of the user-specific parameters may include biometric parameters, textual-based parameters, a combination of biometric parameters and textual-based parameters, and the like.
Claims20
A computerized data processing method to control access to consumer devices, the method comprising:
- receiving, from one or more microphones configured to collect voice samples of a user, a plurality of user-specific voice samples collected as the user attempts to access a consumer device;
- selecting, from the plurality of user-specific voice samples, at least two user-specific voice samples;
- determining two or more parameter categories to which the at least two user-specific voice samples belong;
- for each of the two or more parameter categories, retrieving, from a reference database, one or more reference voice prints that belong to the parameter category;
- for each of the two or more parameter categories, determining whether any of the user-specific voice samples, of the at least two user-specific voice samples, matches any of the one or more reference voice prints that belong to the parameter category;
- and
- in response to determining, for each of the two or more parameter categories, that none of the user-specific voice samples, of the at least two user-specific voice samples, matches any of the one or more reference voice prints that belong to the parameter category, denying the user access to the consumer device.

A computer system comprising:
- one or more hardware processors;
- a data collector performing:
- receiving, from one or more microphones configured to collect voice samples of a user, a plurality of user-specific voice samples collected as the user attempts to access a consumer device;
- a computer processor performing:
- selecting, from the plurality of user-specific voice samples, at least two user-specific voice samples;
- determining two or more parameter categories to which the at least two user-specific voice samples belong;
- for each of the two or more parameter categories, retrieving, from a reference database, one or more reference voice prints that belong to the parameter category;
- for each of the two or more parameter categories, determining whether any of the user-specific voice samples, of the at least two user-specific voice samples, matches any of the one or more reference voice prints that belong to the parameter category;
- and
- in response to determining, for each of the two or more parameter categories, that none of the user-specific voice samples, of the at least two user-specific voice samples, matches any of the one or more reference voice prints that belong to the parameter category, denying the user access to the consumer device.

One or more non-transitory computer readable storage media storing instructions which, when executed by one or more computer processors, cause performing:
- receiving, from one or more microphones configured to collect voice samples of a user, a plurality of user-specific voice samples collected as the user attempts to access a consumer device;
- selecting, from the plurality of user-specific voice samples, at least two user-specific voice samples;
- determining two or more parameter categories to which the at least two user-specific voice samples belong;
- for each of the two or more parameter categories, retrieving, from a reference database, one or more reference voice prints that belong to the parameter category;
- for each of the two or more parameter categories, determining whether any of the user-specific voice samples, of the at least two user-specific voice samples, matches any of the one or more reference voice prints that belong to the parameter category;
- and
- in response to determining, for each of the two or more parameter categories, that none of the user-specific voice samples, of the at least two user-specific voice samples, matches any of the one or more reference voice prints that belong to the parameter category, denying the user access to the consumer device.
