Abstract

A management of user profiles comprises calculating, for an audio segment, a user confidence measure representing a probability that the audio segment comprises speech of a user and a group confidence measure representing a probability that the audio segment comprises speech of a group of users. A user profile is then managed based on a comparison between the user confidence measure and a user confidence threshold and between the group confidence measure and a group confidence threshold. The embodiments thereby achieve an efficient voice-controlled user profile management by utilizing a layered approach that provides user profiles for group of users as fallback when the identity of the speaking user can not accurately be recognized.
