Abstract
A wearable device and method for control of the wearable device based on a voice of a verified user is provided. The wearable device receives a first user input and generates a challenge key-phrase based on the first user input. The wearable device renders a message including the challenge key-phrase through an audio output device of the wearable device. The wearable device captures first audio signals corresponding to the rendered message and determines whether the first audio signals include the challenge key-phrase. The wearable device verifies a user if the first audio signals include the challenge key-phrase. The wearable device captures second audio signals corresponding to a second user input including a voice command, based on the verification of the user. The wearable device controls a feature or a setting of the wearable device or an electronic device associated with the wearable device, based on the voice command.
