Audio-Based Application Architecture
First Claim
Patent Images
1. A system comprising:
- one or more network interfaces;
a cloud-based service that is accessible by on-premises audio monitoring devices to receive audio-based information via the one or more network interfaces from multiple user premises, the user premises being associated respectively with users; and
wherein the cloud-based service exposes one or more application interfaces to multiple cloud-based applications that provide services to the users based at least in part on the audio-based information.

Abstract
An application architecture comprises one or more audio interfaces placed within the premises of users. A cloud-based application engine receives audio information from the interfaces and provides information to cloud-based applications based on the audio within the user premises. The other applications utilize the information to provide or enhance services to the users.
