Identifying candidate passwords from captured audio

摘要

A computing device configured to request a password from a user, capture audio after issuing the request, and determine a number of alternative candidate passwords most likely represented by the audio. After identifying the number of candidate passwords, the computing device may submit these candidate passwords, one at a time, to an entity until the entity grants the device access to an account associated with the user or until the device has submitted each candidate password. The account may comprise a network account (e.g., a wired or wireless network account), an online account (e.g., an email account, an account an online merchant, etc.), or the like.

主权项

1. An apparatus comprising;
a speaker; a microphone; a wireless network interface; a processor; and computer-readable media storing computer-executable instructions that, when executed on the processor, cause the processor to perform acts comprising: causing the speaker to output a request for a password associated with a wireless network; receiving audio captured by the microphone after the speaker outputs the request; decoding the audio at least in part to identify alternative candidate passwords from the audio; and submitting, one at a time, at least one of the alternative candidate passwords to a component of the wireless network until the wireless network interface successfully connects to the wireless network or until each of the alternative candidate passwords has been submitted; wherein the decoding utilizes a language model, the acts further comprising:
identifying a candidate password of the alternative candidate passwords that, upon submittal to the component of the wireless network, results in the wireless network interface successfully connecting to the wireless network; andsending the candidate password of the alternative candidate passwords over the wireless network and to an entity to allow the entity to train the language model or another language model using the candidate password of the alternative candidate passwords.
