1. A system for adaptive detection of audio alarms, comprising:
- a microphone configured to receive a series of sounds;
a communications interface operably coupled to the microphone and configured to communicate with an external network;
a memory configured to store a defined set of alarm templates; and
a processor operably coupled to the memory and the communications interface and configured to;
analyze the series of sounds to determine an alarm characteristic;
compare the alarm characteristic to the defined set of alarm templates stored in the memory;
store the compared alarm characteristic in the memory based on the defined set of alarm templates previously stored in the memory;
transmit an alert to a client device that an audio alarm has occurred;
receive user input from a client device and identify the audio alarm based on the user input; and
generate and store in the memory an alarm template for the alarm characteristic based on the user input.

Abstract
Systems and methods are provided for the adaptive detection of audio alarms. A system comprises a microphone configured to receive a series of sounds, a memory configured to store a defined set of alarm templates, a communications network interface, and a processor. The processor is configured to receive and analyze sounds for alarm or background sound characteristics and compare them to a defined set of alarm templates stored in the memory. If not contained in the defined set of alarm templates previously stored in the memory, new alarm templates are learned and stored. An alert is then transmitted to a client device that an audio alarm has been recognized.

8. A method for adaptive detection of audio alarms, comprising:
-
receiving, at a processor, a series of sounds from a microphone; analyzing, at the processor, the series of sounds to determine an alarm characteristic; comparing, at the processor, the alarm characteristic to a defined set of alarm templates stored in a memory; storing, at the processor, the compared alarm characteristic in the memory based on the defined set of alarm templates previously stored in the memory; transmitting, at the processor, an alert to a client device that an audio alarm has occurred; receiving user input at a client device and identifying the audio alarm based on the user input; and generating and storing in the memory an alarm template for the alarm characteristic based on the user input. - View Dependent Claims (9, 10, 11, 12, 13, 14)

15. A system for adaptive detection of audio alarms, comprising:
-
a microphone configured to receive a series of sounds; a processing device coupled to the microphone and configured to receive and process the series of sounds and transmit an alert to a client device; and a client device configured to receive data from the processing device, and configured to identify an audio alarm associated with the series of sounds based on input received from a user, and transmit the identity of the audio alarm to the processing device; wherein the processing device is further configured to generate and store an alarm template based on the identity of the audio alarm. - View Dependent Claims (16, 17)
