A method for controlling subscription services delivered to a user by an Internet Service Provider (ISP) coupled to an Automated Intelligent Network (AIN) telephone system with at least one central office switching system. An intelligent peripheral subsystem is connected to the central office switching system, via a call connection channel. The intelligent peripheral subsystem providing at least one auxiliary call processing capability via the call connection channel and provides a telephony speaker authentication method for selectively authorizing updates to user subscription services types provided by the ISP, wherein each of the subscription services types include one or more service options. The method for controlling subscription services including: a) prompting for a voice response; b) authenticating a user's voice response pattern by performing a speaker-dependent cepstrum matching algorithm with previously stored samples of the user's voice response, and if the user's voice response pattern is positively authenticated with previously stored samples, then performing the steps of: c) presenting a menu of user subscription types, each with available AIN service options; and d) responding to a user selection of at least one user subscription types, each with service option, by activating a service option selected by the user, wherein the service option is governed by said ISP by regulating one or more Uniform Resource Locator (URL) addresses received by a user subscriber device from said ISP over a telecommunication line.

A system, apparatus, method, and machine readable medium are described for performing eye tracking during authentication. For example, one embodiment of a method comprises: receiving a request to authenticate a user; presenting one or more screen layouts to the user; capturing a sequence of images which include the user's eyes as the one or more screen layouts are displayed; and (a) performing eye movement detection across the sequence of images to identify a correlation between motion of the user's eyes as the one or more screen layouts are presented and an expected motion of the user's eyes as the one or more screen layouts are presented and/or (b) measuring the eye's pupil size to identify a correlation between the effective light intensity of the screen and its effect on the user's eye pupil size; capturing audio of the user's voice; and performing voice recognition techniques to determine a correlation between the captured audio of the user's voice and one or more voice prints.

By asking the recipient of an encrypted received file to read aloud a check text, retrieved from a network server, that address, or URL, is encoded within the file name of the encrypted received file, the system of the invention automatically verifies the identity of the recipient, confirms that the file has been received by the intended recipient, and then decrypts the file. The utterances of text spoken by the recipient are processed by means of an automatic speech recognition component. The system determines whether the spoken text corresponds to the check text presented to the reader, in which case the system applies an automatic speaker recognition algorithm to determine whether the person reciting the check text has voice characteristics matching those of the intended recipient based on a previous enrollment of the intended recipient's voice to the system. When the system confirms the identity of the recipient, the decryption key is transmitted and the encrypted received file is automatically decrypted and displayed to the recipient. In a preferred embodiment, the system records and marks with a time-stamp the recipient's reciting of the voice check text, so that it can later be compared to the intended recipient's voice if the recipient repudiates reception.

A human operator's voice is artificially varied prior to transmission to a remote caller. In one example, the operator indicates target speech content (e.g., actual speech, pre-prepared text, manually entered text) to a speech processing facility, which enunciates the target speech content with an output voice that exhibits prescribed speech characteristics (e.g., accent, dialect, speed, vocabulary, word choice, male/female, timbre, speaker age, fictional character, speech particular to people of a particular geographic region or socioeconomic status or other grouping). Another example is an automated call processing system, where an output voice is selected for each incoming call and information is interactively presented to callers using the output voice selected for their respective calls. In another example, a speech processing facility intercepts the operator's speech, manipulates the waveform representing the operator's intercepted speech to add or remove prescribed characteristics, and transmits an enunciated output of the manipulated waveform to the caller.

A system and method for using a short message service (SMS) of a wireless communication network operates to convert a subscriber's voice to a text message. The system employs offline conversion and verification of the converted text message prior to transmitting the text message over the wireless communication network. The system is implemented within the subscriber unit handset such that no additional infrastructure modifications of the wireless communication network are required.

A user communicates with a companion with his or her portable telephone attached to a telephone attachment pocket of a robot. The robot acts in accordance with a voice signal which is outputted from the portable telephone, thereby behaving as if it were speaking to the user. The robot outputs a voice in response to the user's voice which is picked up by a microphone, thereby behaving as if it were listening to the user. Owing to this robot or a robot system using the same, the user feels less odd in his or her communication using the portable telephone.

The invention discloses a booking method and a system for electrical household appliance linkage, wherein the method comprises the following steps: 1) creating a virtual household environment; 2) creating new scenarios in the virtual household environment; and 3) identifying a user's voice control instructions and converting the voice control instructions into the corresponding scenario configuration instructions wherein the configuration instructions contain the booking information. The system comprises the following elements in wireless network connections: an intelligent terminal and at least two electrical household appliances. The intelligent terminal comprises an environment creating module, a new scenario creating module, and a voice recognizing module.
