Joint Application of Speech and Speaker Recognition for Automation and Security in Smart Home

Abstract

This paper describes the deployment of speech technologies in STARHome, a fully functional smart home prototype. We make use of speech and speaker recognition technologies to provide three voice services, namely, voice command for controlling home appliances, voice biometric for entrance-door access control, and service customization (speaker-loaded command control). Several ergonomic constraints have to be imposed, which includes short utterances and low SNR. Index Terms: home security and automation, command control, smart home, speaker recognition
