Abstract
We propose a new approach for improving user experience and pri- vacy protection during human-mobile speech interaction by considering factors, such as user identity, application privacy level, usable app access control, and application function class. To integrate these factors into speech recognition on the mobile device, we design and implement a unified speech-speaker recognizer (USR) framework, which will recognize both speech content and speaker iden- tification, and respond accordingly. This USR framework consists of an applica- tion interface, a speaker recognition module, a speech recognition module, and an identity management module. A comparison study was conducted contrasting the benefits and limitations of USR framework to the established original speech recognition and app access control framework on mobile device, such as Google Voice, and AppLock. Our results show that, while USR framework intuitively im- proved mobile privacy by serving only the phone owner for specific customized applications, USR framework was also able to provide better user experience across a number of tasks.
