Non-intrusive acoustic monitoring for equipment diagnostic and fault reporting
First Claim
1. A computer implemented method for acoustic monitoring and fault reporting, the method comprising:
- identifying a sound from a consumer device;
responsive to identifying the sound from a consumer device, converting the sound to an acoustic signal;
responsive to identifying the acoustic signal, generating an acoustic fingerprint from the acoustic signal;
responsive to generating the acoustic fingerprint from the acoustic signal, identifying whether the acoustic fingerprint deviates from a threshold value by more than a defined statistical variance; and
responsive to identifying that the acoustic fingerprint deviates from a threshold value by more than a defined statistical variance, providing notification that the acoustic fingerprint deviates from the threshold value by more than the defined statistical variance.

Abstract
A computer implemented method, a computer program product, and a data processing system provide acoustic monitoring and fault reporting. A sound is identified from a consumer device. The sound to an acoustic signal. An acoustic fingerprint is generated from the acoustic signal. The acoustic fingerprint is then compared to a threshold value to determine whether the acoustic fingerprint deviates from a threshold value by more than a defined statistical variance. If the acoustic fingerprint deviates from a threshold value by more than a defined statistical variance, notification is provided that the acoustic fingerprint deviates from the threshold value by more than the defined statistical variance.
