Method and system for person/speaker verification via communications systems

#The present application claims priority to Application No. 102004014416.8, filed in the Federal Republic of Germany on Mar. 18, 2004, which is expressly incorporated herein in its entirety by reference thereto.

#The present invention relates to a system and a method for person/speaker verification of participants via different communications systems.

#It is available to identify a telecommunications line via the line identification CLI (calling line identification), ANI (automatic number identification), IP address (Internet protocol address) or HLR (home location register) transmitted in various telecommunications networks.

#FIG. 1 shows a possible architecture for implementing the service with the aid a block diagram.

#FIG. 2 shows a possible flow chart for the verification process.

#FIG. 1 shows an exemplary method according to the present invention, in which the customer possesses a PC having a scanner A, a cellular telephone having a built-in camera B and a fax machine C.

#Via his PC having Scanner A, the customer dials the portal, on which the design approach according to the present invention is implemented as system E, and expresses his request for access to the desired service D secured by biometric verification methods. The customer's access request or the destination number/destination address of requested service D is recorded either within the framework of a voice dialog between the customer and dialog system DS of the portal or on the basis of the data entered by the customer. At the same time, the line of the terminal, from which the customer is calling, is also identified. The recording of the caller's line identification and of the destination number/destination address dialed by the caller occurs via a module for determining telecommunications line TA. Via the database for biometrics customer profiles BD, to which all biometrics customer profiles BK of the customers participating in the system are assigned, the customer-specific data, contained in the biometrics customer profile BK, of the customer associated with the line identification are recorded by way of the line identification and transmitted to control logic SL.

#The matrix-like configured control logic SL establishes a connection to provider database PD. By comparing the data stored in provider database PD with the destination number/destination address, to which the customer is requesting access, control logic SL records and evaluates the service D requested by the customer and the biometric verification methods authorized for service D.
