Distributed method and system to improve collaborative services across multiple devices
First Claim
1. A system for performing a task for or providing a service to a source, the system comprising:
- a first device having a first sensor for receiving recognition information from the source and transmitting the received recognition information to a second device;
the first and second devices for independently processing at least different portions of the recognition information, wherein the first and second devices use a common recognition model or use a different recognition model to process the recognition information, and the first and second devices independently assigning a respective first and second recognition score to the source, wherein the second device is communicatively linked to the first device, a dynamic paring code derived from each of the independently assigned recognition scores;
one or both of the first and second devices authenticating the source responsive to the first and second recognition scores by collaboratively determining whether the source is authenticated based on the dynamic paring code; and
responsive to the source having been authenticated, the first or second device for performing the task or for providing the service to the source.

Abstract
A distributed system and method to improve collaborative service across multiple sensors on various devices. According to one embodiment, multiple devices may be used to train and then utilize a common algorithm for purposes including but not limited to recognizing a source to perform some action, control, command, calculation, storage, retrieval, encryption, decryption, alerting, alarming, notifying or as in some embodiments, to authenticate. In one embodiment of the invention, devices with one or more sensors such as but not limited to microphones, acoustic arrays or audio sensors may contribute to one or more models by sending samples, features, recognition scores, and/or risk scores to each other to improve collaborative training, signal quality, recognition, synchronization, inter-device proximity location and/or fusion of recognition scores and/or risk scores.

21. A system for performing a task for or providing a service to a source, the system comprising:
-
a first device having a first sensor for receiving first recognition information from the source; a second device having a second sensor for receiving second recognition information from the source; the first and second devices for independently processing at least different portions of the first and second recognition information, wherein each of the first and second devices uses a common recognition model or uses a different recognition model and each independently assigns a recognition score to the source, wherein the second device is communicatively linked to the first device, a dynamic paring code derived from each of the independently assigned recognition scores; one or both of the first and second devices for authenticating the source responsive to the first and second recognition scores by collaboratively determining whether the source is authenticated based on the dynamic paring code; and responsive to the source having been authenticated, one of the first and second devices for performing the task or for providing the service to the source. - View Dependent Claims (22, 23)
