Abstract

Disclosed are a method, server, client and system for verifying a verification code. The method includes: sending a verification picture to a client according to a verification request from the client; acquiring from the client voice information that is input by a user according to the verification picture; and processing the voice information and performing verification according to acquired voiceprint information and/or text information. The server includes a sending module, an acquiring module and a verifying module. The client includes a receiving module, an acquiring module and a sending module. The system includes a server and a client. It may be effectively distinguished as whether the verification code is submitted by the user or by others, such that the problem of manual coding is effectively solved, and the operating cost of the server side is reduced and the overhead is saved.

Claims

acquiring from the client electronic device a voice information that is uttered by a user in response to the electronic verification picture and the verification code;

extracting acoustic features from the voice information;

transforming the acoustic features to obtain a voiceprint information uniquely identifying the user;

comparing the voiceprint information with a pre-stored voiceprint information of the user in a voiceprint information database;

processing the voice information to obtained a recognized text uttered by the user;

transmitting the recognized text to the client electronic device for an electronic acknowledgement that the recognized text matches what the user uttered;

receiving the electronic acknowledgement from the client electronic device; and

providing the client electronic device an electronic access to the electronic system when;

the voiceprint information is consistent with the pre-stored voiceprint information of the user;

the electronic acknowledgement indicates that the recognized text matches what the user uttered; and

the recognized text matches the verification text.

2. The method according to claim 1, wherein the electronic verification picture further comprises visual noises for obscuring the verification code and the verification text.

3. The method according to claim 1, wherein prior to the comparing the voiceprint information with the pre-stored voiceprint information of the user, the method further comprises:

determining whether the voiceprint information database comprises the pre-stored voiceprint information of the user; and

creating a mapping relationship between the user and the voiceprint information, and storing the voiceprint information as the pre-stored voiceprint information for the user in the voiceprint information database when the voiceprint information database does not comprise the pre-stored voiceprint information of the user.

4. The method according to claim 1, wherein the sending the electronic verification picture to the client electronic device according to the verification request from the client electronic device comprises:

receiving from the client electronic device a request for pulling the electronic verification picture; and

sending the electronic verification picture to the client electronic device in response to receiving the request for pulling the electronic verification picture.

5. A method for gaining electronic access to an electronic system, comprising:

receiving and displaying an electronic verification picture sent by a server, the electronic verification picture comprising a verification code to be verified wherein the verification code comprises a verification text that is scrambled with visual noises;

acquiring a voice information that is uttered by a user in response to the electronic verification picture and the verification code;

sending the voice information to the server such that the server processes the voice information to extract acoustic features from the voice information, transform the acoustic features into a voiceprint information uniquely identifying the user, compare the voiceprint information with a pre-stored voiceprint information of the user in a voiceprint information database, and obtain a recognized text uttered by the user from the voice information;

receiving the recognized text from the server;

displaying the recognized text to the user;

receiving an instruction from the user to generate an electronic acknowledgement that the recognized text matches what the user uttered;

sending the electronic acknowledgement to the server; and

obtaining access to the electronic system when;

the voiceprint information is consistent with the pre-stored voiceprint information of the user;

the electronic acknowledgement indicates that the recognized text matches what the user uttered; and

the recognized text matches the verification text.

6. The method according to claim 5, wherein the electronic verification picture further comprises visual noises for obscuring the verification code and the verification text.

7. The method according to claim 5, wherein prior to the receiving the electronic verification picture sent by the server, the method further comprises:

sending a request for pulling the electronic verification picture to the server.

8. A server for providing electronic access to an electronic system, comprising a processor, a voiceprint information database, and a memory for storing instructions, wherein the processor when executing the instructions, is configured to:

send an electronic verification picture to a client electronic device in response to a verification request sent from the client electronic device, the electronic verification picture comprising a verification code to be verified wherein the verification code comprises a verification text that is scrambled with visual noises;

acquire from the client electronic device a voice information that is uttered by a user in response to the electronic verification picture and the verification code;

extract acoustic features from the voice information;

transform the acoustic features to obtain a voiceprint information uniquely identifying the user;

receive the electronic acknowledgement from the client electronic device; and

provide the client electronic device an electronic access to the electronic system when;

the voiceprint information is consistent with the pre-stored voiceprint information of the user;

the electronic acknowledgement indicates that the recognized text matches what the user uttered; and

the recognized text matches the verification text.

9. The server according to claim 8, wherein the electronic verification picture further comprises visual noises for obscuring the verification code and the verification text.
