Observation platform using structured communications with external devices and systems
First Claim
1. A method for using an observation platform with an external device, comprising:
- receiving a signal from a first communication device at a second communication device associated with a computer system wherein a first characteristic of said signal corresponds to an audible source proximate to said first communication device and a second characteristic of said signal corresponds to information indicative of a geographic position of said first communication device;
deriving context information from said signal at said computer system from, at least in part, a speech to text analysis of said audible source, a policy implemented in said computer system by a controlling enterprise, and inferences calculated by a combination of policy, text analysis, and secondary information contained in said signal;
determining an action to take place at an external device based on said context information, wherein said external device is one of a plurality of external devices and is networked to said second communication device; and
sending a second signal to said external device to instruct said device to take said action.

Abstract
Methods and systems for using an observation platform with an external device are disclosed. A signal is received from a first communication device at a second communication device associated with a computer system. Context information is derived from the signal at the computer system from, a speech to text analysis of the audible source, a policy implemented in the computer system by a controlling enterprise, and inferences calculated by a combination of text analysis, and secondary information contained in the signal. An action is determined to take place at an external device or user device based on the context information, wherein the external device is one of a plurality of external devices and is networked to the second communication device or a plurality of devices. A second signal is sent to the external device to instruct the device to take the action.

13. A non-transitory computer-usable storage medium having instructions embodied therein that when executed cause a computer system to perform a method for using an observation platform with an external device, said method comprising:
-
receiving a signal from a first communication device at a second communication device associated with a computer system wherein a first characteristic of said signal corresponds to an audible source proximate to said first communication device and a second characteristic of said signal corresponds to information indicative of a geographic position of said first communication device; deriving context information from said signal at said computer system from, at least in part, a speech to text analysis of said audible source, a policy implemented in said computer system by a controlling enterprise, and inferences calculated by a combination of text analysis, and secondary information contained in said signal; determining an action to take place at an external device based on said context information, wherein said external device is one of a plurality of external devices and is networked to said second communication device; and sending a second signal to said external device to instruct said device to take said action.

14. A method for using an observation platform with an external device, comprising:
-
receiving external device information from an external device at a computer system, wherein said external device is one of a plurality of external devices networked to said computer system; determining, at said computer system, which user communication device of a plurality of user communication devices to send at least a portion of said external device information to, based on deriving context information from said external device information and analyzing said context information in view of a policy implemented in said computer system by a controlling enterprise; generating, at said computer system, a message for said user communication device based at least in part on said portion of said external device information; and relaying said message to said user communication device such that said message causes audio to be played at said user communication device. - View Dependent Claims (15, 16, 17, 18, 19, 20, 21, 22, 23, 24, 25, 26, 27, 28, 29, 30, 31, 32, 33, 34)

35. A non-transitory computer-usable storage medium having instructions embodied therein that when executed cause a computer system to perform a method for using an observation platform with an external device, said method comprising:
-
receiving external device information from an external device at a computer system, wherein said external device is one of a plurality of external devices networked to said computer system; determining, at said computer system, which user communication device of a plurality of user communication devices to send at least a portion of said external device information to, based on deriving context information from said external device information and analyzing said context information in view of a policy implemented in said computer system by a controlling enterprise; generating, at said computer system, a message for said user communication device based at least in part on said portion of said external device information; and relaying said message to said user communication device such that said message causes audio to be played at said user communication device.
