User configurable levels of security for a speaker verification system
First Claim
1. A method for configuring a user configurable level of security for use in a speech recognition security system, the method comprising the steps of:
- accepting an input from the user, the input identifying the user and indicating a desired level of security for configuring the speech recognition security system;
dynamically adjusting at least one of a set of parameters governing the speech recognition security system in accordance with the desired level of security for the particular application;
determining if the speech recognition security system includes a first speaker model created for the identified user, the first speaker model having a security level equal to or greater than the desired level of security; and
creating a second speaker model for the identified user by training the speech recognition security system if the determining step determines that the speech recognition security system does not include the first speaker model.

Abstract
A text-prompted speaker verification system that can be configured by users based on a desired level of security. A user is prompted for a multiple-digit (or multiple-word) password. The number of digits or words used for each password is defined by the system in accordance with a user set preferred level of security. The level of training required by the system is defined by the user in accordance with a preferred level of security. The set of words used to generate passwords can also be user configurable based upon the desired level of security. The level of security associated with the frequency of false accept errors verses false reject errors is user configurable for each particular application.

20. A user configurable speech recognition security system comprising:
-
an input device for accepting an input from the user, the input identifying the user and indicating a desired level of security for configuring the speech recognition security system;
an adjusting means for dynamically adjusting at least one of a set of parameters governing the speech recognition security system in accordance with the desired level of security;
a determining means for determining if the speech recognition security system includes a first speaker model created for the identified user, the first speaker model having a security level equal to or greater than the desired level of security; and
a creating means for creating a second speaker model for the identified user by training the speech recognition security system if the determining means determines that the speech recognition security system does not include the first speaker model. - View Dependent Claims (21, 22, 23, 24, 25, 26, 27, 28, 29, 30, 31, 32)
