Abstract

A method for accessing a virtual personal assistant has been developed. First, a trust relationship is established between a primary smart speaker device that allows a user to access the virtual personal assistant with voice commands and a separate secondary smart speaker device. A trust relationship is established by generating a request at the secondary smart speaker device to allow access the virtual personal assistant with voice print authentication from the user and then validating the request at the primary smart speaker device to confirm the authenticity of the request. Next, a voice input is received from the user at the secondary smart speaker device requesting access to the virtual personal assistant. The identity of the user is verified using voice print identification with the secondary smart speaker device. Access for the user is then granted to the virtual personal assistant using the secondary smart speaker device.
