Patent Images
1. A headset comprising:
- a detector providing an output indicating a donned or doffed condition;
a memory storing a pre-determined voice print phrase key of an authorized headset user;
a microphone;
a processor;
a speaker; and
a voice print match application for receiving a user speech corresponding to a submitted voice print phrase key upon determining a donned condition and prompting the authorized headset user with a prestored audio prompt to speak a voice print phrase key, wherein the user speech is compared to the pre-determined voice print phrase key to validate an identity of the authorized headset user.

Abstract
A headset includes a voice print match application or speech recognition application. The voice print match application receives a user speech corresponding to a submitted voice print phrase key upon determining a donned condition, where the user speech is compared to the predetermined voice print phrase key to validate an identity of the headset user. The speech recognition application receives a user speech corresponding to a password or PIN and recognizes the password or PIN. The recognized password or PIN is compared to a valid password or PIN to validate the identity of the headset user.
