Sonic/ultrasonic authentication device
First Claim
1. A stand alone credit-card sized apparatus capable of receiving and processing audio signals, comprising:
- a power source;
an audio or visual output device;
an input device capable of receiving human voice inputs;
a data processing device configured to process human voice inputs received by the input device and to generate a packet of digital data indicating a result of the processing; and
transmission circuitry adapted to modulate an audio or visual signal with the packet of digital data and transmit the modulated audio or visual signal through the output device.

Abstract
A method for verifying and identifying users, and for verifying users'"'"' identity, by means of an authentication device capable of transmitting, receiving and recording audio or ultrasonic signals, and capable of converting the signals into digital data, and performing digital signal processing. Voice pattern(s) and user(s) information of one or more authorized user(s) are recorded and stored on the authentication device. User(s) identification is verified by inputting to the authentication device a vocal identification signal from a user, and comparing the voice pattern of the vocal identification signal with the recorded voice pattern(s) of the authorized user(s), and if a match is detected issuing an indication that the user is identified as an authorized user.
