Systems and methods for generating, reading and transferring identifiers

This invention describes a way to verify someone's identity using their voice. It involves taking a person's voice recording, encoding it into a special graphical identifier, and then placing that identifier on an ID card or article belonging to them. Later, to verify their identity, a new voice recording is taken from the person and compared against the original voice content stored in the identifier.

Why it matters: In 2005, dedicated hardware was likely needed for the optical scanning and real-time audio processing. Today, the widespread availability of powerful smartphone cameras and advanced voice biometric algorithms makes the core functions more feasible and cost-effective.
