VOICE DIRECTED COMMUNICATIONS SYSTEM EMPLOYING SHARED SUBSCRIBER IDENTIFIERS

摘要

The use of subscriber identifiers in a voice directed telecommunications system employing automatic speaker recognition is enhanced such that a group of subscribers may share the same identifier. This is done by storing speech models of group members' speech signals characterizing the identifier. Then, in response to receipt of a telephone call in which a caller utters the identifier, determining from those speech models whether the caller is a particular member of the group.
