Abstract

A method for controlling access to a plurality of applications in an electronic device includes receiving a voice command from a speaker for accessing a target application among the plurality of applications, and verifying whether the voice command is indicative of a user authorized to access the applications based on a speaker model of the authorized user. In this method, each application is associated with a security level having a threshold value. The method further includes updating the speaker model with the voice command if the voice command is verified to be indicative of the user, and adjusting at least one of the threshold values based on the updated speaker model.
