Abstract

An audible command can be utilized to both permit identification of the speaker and to permit subsequent actions that comprise a corresponding response to the audible command when the identity of the speaker correlates with that of a previously authorized individual. Such identification can be supplemented with other identification mechanisms. Hierarchical levels of permission can be utilized, with or without confidence level thresholds, to further protect the device against unauthorized access and/or manipulation.
