Device Access Using Voice Authentication
First Claim
1. A method comprising:
- receiving speech input at a device, the speech input including a command associated with a restricted feature of the device;
comparing the speech input and a voiceprint of an authorized user of the device;
based on results of the comparing, determining that the speech input was spoken by the authorized user; and
providing access to the restricted feature of the device according to the command,where the method is performed by one or more processors of the device.

Abstract
A device can be configured to receive speech input from a user. The speech input can include a command for accessing a restricted feature of the device. The speech input can be compared to a voiceprint (e.g., text-independent voiceprint) of the user'"'"'s voice to authenticate the user to the device. Responsive to successful authentication of the user to the device, the user is allowed access to the restricted feature without the user having to perform additional authentication steps or speaking the command again. If the user is not successfully authenticated to the device, additional authentication steps can be request by the device (e.g., request a password).
