1. Method for the voice control of a device appertaining to consumer electronics, comprising: converting speech inputs of a user into digitized voice signals; extracting first features, which are characteristic of individual sounds of the speech, and thus permit recognition of the spoken sounds, from the digitized voice signals; extracting second features, which permit a characterization of the voice of the respective user and are used for distinguishing between the speech inputs of different users, from the digitized voice signals; and accepting after a voice command from a first user further voice commands only from this first user, by testing the further speech inputs for characteristic voice features and only accepting them if they can be assigned to the same speaker on the basis of these features.
