Voice Authentication for Electronic Devices in Noisy Environments
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Existing technologies face challenges in easily controlling electronic devices, particularly in environments with external noise or multiple users, where voice recognition systems struggle to authenticate user authority and prioritize control instructions effectively.
Innovation Solution
An electronic device and method that utilize voice signals to authenticate user authority, extract voice parameters, and register users based on trigger signals, allowing for controlled operation even in noisy conditions and multiple user scenarios, with prioritization based on use patterns and preset criteria.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Ease of operation
If voice recognition is used to control electronic devices, then ease of operation is improved, but reliability deteriorates in noisy environments or with multiple users
Solution Approach 1:
The system performs preliminary user registration by storing voiceprints and associated user information before actual voice control operations. This preliminary action enables the system to reliably identify users during subsequent control operations, resolving the reliability issue in noisy environments or with multiple users while maintaining ease of operation.
2Adaptability or versatility
If voice control is enabled for multiple users, then adaptability is improved, but device complexity increases due to authentication requirements
Solution Approach 1:
The system implements self-service through automatic voiceprint extraction and user identification. When a user speaks a command, the system automatically extracts the voiceprint, compares it with registered users, and executes the appropriate control actions without requiring manual authentication steps. This maintains adaptability for multiple users while minimizing perceived device complexity.
3Measurement precision
If voice parameters are extracted and stored for authentication, then measurement precision is improved, but loss of time increases during registration
Solution Approach 1:
The voice parameter extraction and storage is performed as a preliminary registration action that occurs only once per user. Although this initial process requires time for collecting and storing multiple voice parameters, it establishes high measurement precision for subsequent authentication. The one-time time investment enables rapid and accurate user identification during all future voice control operations.
