A Non-Intrusive Method for Smart Speaker Forensics

ICC 2021 - IEEE International Conference on Communications, 2021
With the rapid development of the Internet of Things technology, smart speakers have become increasingly popular. However, smart speaker security is an ensuing threat. At present, smart speakers are activated by voice, and they monitor users’ voices 24 hours per day. Consequently, there may be problems with user privacy leakage.

Smart Speaker: Suspicious Event Detection with Reverse Mode Speakers

2019 42nd International Conference on Telecommunications and Signal Processing (TSP), 2019
Loudspeakers are transducers that convert electrical signals to sounds. However, it is well-known that in reverse mode, they can convert sounds to electrical signals. The paper studies the feasibility of designing an embedded system that detects suspicious events like gunshots or screaming by utilizing the reverse mode of loudspeakers.

Understanding User Perceptions of Proactive Smart Speakers

Proceedings of the ACM on Interactive, Mobile, Wearable and Ubiquitous Technologies, 2021
Voice assistants, such as Amazon's Alexa and Google Home, increasingly find their way into consumer homes. Their functionality, however, is currently limited to being passive answer machines rather than proactively engaging users in conversations. Speakers' proactivity would open up a range of important application scenarios, including health services,

Automatic speaker localization based on speaker identification -A smart room application

Fourth International Conference on Information and Communication Technology and Accessibility (ICTA), 2013
This paper presents a system of speaker localization, based on the speaker recognition task. The main application could be the supervision of smart hospital-rooms, where the different crying patients (speaking patients) are localized thanks to their voice features inside the hospital.

Smart Room: Participant and Speaker Localization and Identification

Proceedings. (ICASSP '05). IEEE International Conference on Acoustics, Speech, and Signal Processing, 2005., 2006
Our long-term objective is to create smart room technologies that are aware of the users presence and their behavior and can become an active, but not an intrusive, part of the interaction. In this work, we present a multimodal approach for estimating and tracking the location and identity of the participants including the active speaker.

Voice Commerce - Studying the Acceptance of Smart Speakers

2020
To explain customers’ willingness to use smart speakers for online shopping (voice-commerce) an integrated explanatory model was developed. The model is based on the Unified Theory of Acceptance and Use of Technology 2 (UTAUT 2), which was expanded from the original model to include the construct of “perceived risk.” The postulated associations were ...
