Signal verification device

Abstract

The invention relates to a device for the verification of time-dependent, user-specific signals which includes means for generating a set of feature vectors which serve to provide an approximative description of an input signal and are associated with selectable sampling intervals of the signal; means for preparing an HMM model for the signal; means for determining a probability value which describes the probability of occurrence of the set of feature vectors, given the HMM model, and a threshold decider for comparing the probability value with a threshold value and for deciding on the verification of the signal. For better adaptation of the verification to the relevant user and the user-specific signals assigned thereto, it is proposed to provide means for the automatic person-specific evaluation of the relevance of the features collected in the feature vectors by way of an LDA transformation and for the automatic selection of features evaluated as relevant.
