Telephonic voice authentication and display
View Patent ↗An improved solution for telephonic voice authentication and display is provided. A method of identifying conference call participants includes detecting a sound made by one of conference call participants; identifying this conference call participant based on the sound; and then displaying an attribute of the conference call participant to one of the other conference call participants. The attribute may include a picture, a name, and/or other information related to the identified conference call participant.
1. A method of identifying conference call participants, the method comprising:
detecting, with a computer device, a sound of a first conference call participant;
identifying, with the computer device, the first conference call participant based on the sound; and
providing for display, with the computer device, an attribute used to identify the first conference call participant from a profile of the first conference call participant to a second conference call participant, wherein the providing is configured to provide a different attribute used to identify the first conference call participant from the profile of the first conference call participant to a third conference call participant;
wherein the attribute comprises at least one of: a picture, a name, a phone number, organization, title, hobbies, job role, and combinations thereof.
2. The method of claim 1 , the displaying further comprising providing an indicator that the first conference call participant is speaking.
3. The method of claim 1 , the identifying comprising:
comparing an authentic user speech pattern sample with an inputted speech sample; and
generating a result from the comparing.
4. The method of claim 1 , further comprising:
controlling access to a telephonic device, the controlling comprising:
receiving an initial inputted speech pattern sample when a conference call is initiated;
analyzing a comparison result for the initial inputted speech pattern sample; and
periodically analyzing the comparison result with a plurality of ongoing input samples received during the conference call.
5. The method of claim 1 , wherein the first conference call participant and second conference call participant use one of: a Voice over Internet Protocol (VoIP) system or a telephone circuit system.
6. The method of claim 1 , wherein the displaying coincides with speaking by the first conference call participant.
7. The method of claim 1 , wherein the sound comprises a voice by the first conference call participant.
8. A computer system for identifying conference call participants, the system comprising:
a computer device including:
a processor; and
a memory, the memory storing instructions which when executed cause the computer device to perform the steps of:
detecting a sound of a first conference call participant;
identifying the first conference call participant based on the sound; and
providing for display an attribute used to identify the first conference call participant from a profile of the first conference call participant to a second conference call participant, wherein the providing is configured to provide a different attribute used to identify the first conference call participant from the profile of the first conference call participant to a third conference call participant;
wherein the attribute comprises at least one of: a picture, a name, a phone number, organization, title, hobbies, job role, and combinations thereof.
9. The system of claim 8 , the providing for display further comprising providing an indicator that the first conference call participant is speaking.
10. The system of claim 8 , the identifying comprising:
comparing an authentic user speech pattern sample with an inputted speech sample; and
generating a result from the comparing.
11. The system of claim 8 , the steps further comprising:
receiving an initial inputted speech pattern sample when a conference call is initiated;
analyzing a comparison result for the initial inputted speech pattern sample; and
periodically analyzing the comparison result with a plurality of ongoing input samples received during the conference call.
12. A computer program comprising program code stored on a computer-readable device, which when executed, enables a computer system to implement a method of identifying conference call participants, the method comprising:
detecting a sound of a first conference call participant;
identifying the first conference call participant based on the sound; and
providing for display an attribute used to identify the first conference call participant from a profile of the first conference call participant to a second conference call participant, wherein the providing is configured to provide a different attribute used to identify the first conference call participant from the profile of the first conference call participant to a third conference call participant;
wherein the attribute comprises at least one of: a picture, a name, a phone number, organization, title, hobbies, job role, and combinations thereof.
13. The computer program of claim 12 , the providing for display further comprising providing an indicator that the first conference call participant is speaking.
14. The computer program of claim 12 , the identifying comprising:
comparing an authentic user speech pattern sample with an inputted speech sample; and
generating a result from the comparing.
15. The computer program of claim 12 , wherein the displaying coincides with speaking by the first conference call participant.
16. The computer program of claim 12 , the method further comprising:
controlling access to a telephonic device, the controlling comprising:
receiving an initial inputted speech pattern sample when a conference call is initiated;
analyzing a comparison result for the initial inputted speech pattern sample; and
periodically analyzing the comparison result with a plurality of ongoing input samples received during the conference call.
17. A method of deploying a system for identifying conference call participants, the method comprising:
providing a computer system operable to:
detect a sound of a first conference call participant;
identify the first conference call participant based on the sound; and
provide for display an attribute used to identify the first conference call participant from a profile of the first conference call participant to a second conference call participant, wherein the providing is configured to provide a different attribute used to identify the first conference call participant from the profile of the first conference call participant to a third conference call participant;
wherein the attribute comprises at least one of: a picture, a name, a phone number, organization, title, hobbies, job role, and combinations thereof.
18. A business method for identifying conference call participants, the business method comprising:
managing a network that includes at least one computer system having at least one computer device operable to:
detect a sound of a first conference call participant;
identify the first conference call participant based on the sound; and
provide for display an attribute used to identify the first conference call participant from a profile of the first conference call participant to a second conference call participant, wherein the providing is configured to provide a different attribute used to identify the first conference call participant from the profile of the first conference call participant to a third conference call participant; and
receiving payment based on the managing;
wherein the attribute comprises at least one of: a picture, a name, a phone number, organization, title, hobbies, job role, and combinations thereof.
