Abstract:
1. A method of implementing voice-enabled applications in a single converged voice and data network IP environment that supports and implements VoIP connections, protocols and traffic, the method comprising: a. entering human voice data as data packets into a converged VoIP packet-switched IP based voice and data network; b. converting the voice data into a digital format for VoIP transport and speech processing at a later time; c. providing a control mechanism to interface at least one packet-switched network voice enabled application with at least one speech processing function using a VoIP speech application interface; d. performing at least one speech processing biometrics function inside the VoIP network using the voice of the end user, wherein the voice-enabled application performs non-intrusive voice ID biometrics during which the user enters his voice into the network for the purpose of performing a VoIP telephone conversation and a sample from the voice of the telephone conversation is used to verify the user in a manner transparent to the user; and e. taking an action with respect to the end user depending on the result from the speech processing of the voice data, said action being taken from the group consisting of allowing the end user to enter into a secured transaction, awarding the end user with a prize, penalizing the end user by disallowing entry, and providing feedback to the end user to communicate the result.
