ACCESS-CONTROLLED COMPUTER SYSTEM WITH AUTOMATIC SPEECH RECOGNITION

摘要

An access control system for a computer system uses text inputs derived from automatic recognition of spoken inputs to provide computing access to authorized users. A plurality of speech-enabled terminals each receive speech from a user. An automatic speech recognizer derives text from speech provided by the specific user at a given one of the speech-enabled terminals. An identification comparator compares a non-keyboard user identification provided by a specific user with data stored in a user identification data base to determine if the specific user is an authorized user. A profile loader is provided to load a user-specific profile pertinent to the specific user into the automatic speech recognizer; and, finally, a system access provider.
