1. An identity verification system, comprising:
- a sound input device;
a processing device operatively coupled to said sound input device; and
a display operatively coupled to said processing device;
wherein;
said processing device executes computer readable code to create a first visual representation of frequency relationships within a spoken word sensed by the sound input device for output on the display;
wherein;
said first visual representation is evaluated to determine the identity of the person speaking said spoken word; and
wherein;
said first visual representation is generated according to a method comprising the steps of;
(a) placing twelve labels in a pattern of a circle, said twelve labels corresponding to twelve respective frequencies, such that moving clockwise or counter-clockwise between adjacent ones of said labels represents a first frequency interval;
(b) identifying an occurrence of a first frequency within the spoken word;
(c) identifying an occurrence of a second frequency within the spoken word;
(d) identifying a first label corresponding to the first frequency;
(e) identifying a second label corresponding to the second frequency;
(f) creating a first line connecting the first label and the second label; and
wherein;
(1) the first line is a first color if the first frequency and the second frequency are separated by the first frequency interval;
(2) the first line is a second color if the first frequency and the second frequency are separated by a first multiple of the first frequency interval;
(3) the first line is a third color if the first frequency and the second frequency are separated by a second multiple of the first frequency interval;
(4) the first line is a fourth color if the first frequency and the second frequency are separated by a third multiple of the first frequency interval;
(5) the first line is a fifth color if the first frequency and the second frequency are separated by a fourth multiple of the first frequency interval; and
(6) the first line is a sixth color if the first frequency and the second frequency are separated by a fifth multiple of the first frequency interval.

9. An identity verification system, comprising:
-
a sound input device; a processing device operatively coupled to said sound input device; and a display operatively coupled to said processing device; wherein; said processing device executes computer readable code to create a first visual representation of frequency relationships within a spoken word sensed by the sound input device for output on the display; wherein; said first visual representation is evaluated to determine the identity of the person speaking said spoken word; and wherein; said first visual representation is generated according to a method comprising the steps of; (a) labeling the perimeter of a circle with a plurality of placing twelve labels in a pattern of a circle, said twelve labels corresponding to a plurality of equally spaced frequency intervals twelve respective frequencies in an octave, such that moving clockwise or counter-clockwise between adjacent ones of said labels represents a first frequency interval; (b) identifying an occurrence of a first frequency within the spoken word; (c) identifying an occurrence of a second frequency within the spoken word; (d) identifying a first label corresponding to the first frequency; (e) identifying a second label corresponding to the second frequency; (f) creating a first line connecting the first label and the second label, wherein; (1) the first line is a mixture of a first color and a second color if the first frequency and the second frequency are separated by more than the first frequency interval and less than a first multiple of the first frequency interval; (2) the first line is a mixture of a second color and a third color if the first frequency and the second frequency are separated by more than the first multiple of the first frequency interval and less than a second multiple of the first frequency interval; (3) the first line is a mixture of a third color and a fourth color if the first frequency and the second frequency are separated by more than the second multiple of the first frequency interval and less than a third multiple of the first frequency interval; (4) the first line is a mixture of a fourth color and a fifth color if the first frequency and the second frequency are separated by more than the third multiple of the first frequency interval and less than a fourth multiple of the first frequency interval; (5) the first line is a mixture of a fifth color and a sixth color if the first frequency and the second frequency are separated by more than the fourth multiple of the first frequency interval and less than a fifth multiple of the first frequency interval. - View Dependent Claims (10, 11, 12, 13, 14)
