Patent Document ID: 9990926
Application ID: 15457738

Base Claim:
1. A method for passive enrollment of a user in a speaker identification (ID) device, the method comprising: parsing, by a processor of the speaker ID device, a user speech sample, spoken by the user, into a command phrase sample and a sample of a keyword phrase; identifying, by a text-dependent speaker ID circuit of the speaker ID device, the user as the speaker of the keyword phrase sample; associating, by the processor, the command phrase sample with the identified user; determining, by the processor, if the command phrase sample in conjunction with one or more earlier command phrase samples associated with the user is sufficient command phrase sampling to enroll the user in a text-independent speaker ID circuit of the speaker ID device, the command phrase sample and the one or more earlier command phrase samples together making up at least two command phrase samples associated with the user; and enrolling, by the processor, the user in the text-independent speaker ID circuit using the at least two command phrase samples associated with the user after the determining there is sufficient command phrase sampling to enroll the user in the text-independent speaker ID circuit.

Claim 6:
6. The method of claim 1 , further comprising: parsing, by the processor, a second speech sample, spoken by another user, into another keyword phrase sample and another command phrase sample; identifying, by the text-dependent speaker ID circuit, the other user as the speaker of the other keyword phrase sample; associating, by the processor, the other command phrase sample with the identified other user; determining, by the processor, if the other command phrase sample in conjunction with one or more earlier command phrase samples associated with the other user is sufficient command phrase sampling to enroll the other user in the text-independent speaker ID circuit, the other command phrase sample and the one or more earlier command phrase samples associated with the other user together making up at least two command phrase samples associated with the other user; and enrolling, by the processor, the other user in the text-independent speaker ID circuit using the at least two command phrase samples associated with the other user after the determining there is sufficient command phrase sampling to enroll the other user.
