the top of page 2 of the brief filed on June 6, 2003 that only claims 23, 25,
30, 32 and 37 are appealed or argued among claims 23-43 remaining in
the case and rejected by the examiner in the final rejection.
Representative claim 23 is reproduced below:
23. A method of obtaining a user’s identity by voice, comprising:
receiving a set of at least one known grammar and a set of at least
one known voiceprint corresponding to a plurality of utterances from each
of a first plurality of users;
for each of the first plurality of users, associating the set of at least
one known grammar and the set of at least one known voiceprint with an
identifier of said user;
receiving at least one utterance from a subject user;
performing a voice recognition on at least one of the at least one
utterance received from the subject user, said voice recognition being
different from extracting a grammar from a first at least one of the at least
utterance received from the subject user;
responsive to the voice recognition technique, selecting from the first
plurality of users a second plurality of users, smaller than the first plurality
of users by a factor of at least ten, for which the first voice recognition
most closely matches at least one selected from the set of at least one
grammar and the set of at least one voiceprint associated with the
identifiers of the second plurality of users;
