Abstract

Embodiments of the present invention provide a voiceprint verification method and device. The voiceprint verification method comprises receiving verification voice data relating to a verification phrase; generating a verification voiceprint on the basis of said verification voice data; determining whether a similarity value between the verification voiceprint and a reference voiceprint conforms to a preset similarity value; and, if the similarity value between the verification voiceprint and a reference voiceprint conforms to a preset similarity value, then determining there is a match between the verification voiceprint and the reference voiceprint.

4. The method according to claim 1, further comprising:

receiving a service operation request carrying a service type,

wherein different service types correspond to different preset similarity scores, and wherein the determining whether the score of the similarity between the verification voiceprint and the reference voiceprint reaches the preset similarity score comprises;

determining whether the score of the similarity between the verification voiceprint and the reference voiceprint reaches the preset similarity score corresponding to the service type.

5. The method according to claim 1, further comprising:

obtaining registration voice data associated with a registration corpus; and

generating the reference voiceprint based on the registration voice data.

6. The method according to claim 5, further comprising:

detecting whether an ambient voice volume meets a condition for obtaining the registration voice data.

7. The method according to claim 5, wherein

the verification corpus comprises a character string identical with at least some characters in the registration corpus, a character string consisting of at least some characters in the registration corpus in a reverse order, a character string consisting of at least some characters in the registration corpus out of order, or a character string formed by repeating at least one character in the registration corpus.

8. The method according to claim 5, further comprising:

storing the verification voice data and attribute information about the verification voice data, in a case that it is determined that the verification voiceprint is matched with the reference voiceprint;

selecting a piece of the stored verification voice data based on the attribute information; and

updating the reference voiceprint based on the registration voice data and the selected verification voice data.

9. The method according to claim 1, further comprising:

obtaining user information;

obtaining a registration corpus related to the user information;

obtaining registration voice data associated with the registration corpus for a preset number of times;

determining whether a score of a similarity among the registration voice data reaches a voiceprint registration similarity score; and

generating the reference voiceprint based on the registration voice data, in a case that the score of the similarity among the registration voice data reaches the voiceprint registration similarity score.

10. The method according to claim 1, further comprising:

receiving a service operation request carrying a service type transmitted by a client;

obtaining user information, and generating an electronic note based on the user information; and

transmitting a verification instruction carrying the verification corpus and the generated electronic note to the client based on the service operation request;

wherein the receiving the verification voice data associated with the verification corpus comprises;

receiving the electronic note submitted by the client, and the verification voice data inputted by a current user operating the client based on the verification corpus, which is obtained by the client; and

wherein the generating the verification voiceprint based on the verification voice data comprises;

determining whether the electronic note submitted by the client is consistent with the generated electronic note; and

generating the verification voiceprint based on the verification voice data, in a case that the electronic note submitted by the client is consistent with the generated electronic note.

11. An apparatus for voiceprint verification, comprising:
