System and Method for Sound Level Monitoring at the Location of a Monitored Person
First Claim
Patent Images
1. A sound level monitoring system comprising:
- a first device configured to be positioned at the monitored location, the first device comprising;
a microphone configured to detect sound at the first device;
a first communication circuit configured to communicate through a wireless communication network;
a control circuit configured to;
set a sound level threshold based on an input received through the wireless communication network;
determine a sound level at the device;
determine that the sound level at the device exceeds the sound level threshold; and
place a voice call through the wireless communication network that includes the sound occurring at the child device;
a second device configured to be remotely positioned away from the first device and comprising a second communication circuit configured to communicate through the wireless communication network;
a control server configured to communicate with both the first and second devices through the wireless communication network, the control server being remotely positioned away from both of the first and second devices;
the control server maintaining information about the first device including sound levels monitored during past events at the first device.

Abstract
A system of remotely monitoring the sound level at the location of a monitored person. The system includes a first device positioned with a monitored person, a monitoring server that is a hub for communication within the system, and a second device for a monitoring person that is remote from the first device and the monitored person. The first device is configured to detect the occurrence of sound exceeding a sound threshold. The first device then places a call to at least one of the monitoring server and the second device indicating that the sound threshold has been exceeded in the area of the monitored person.

8. A method implemented by a monitoring server of remotely monitoring a sound level at a monitored wireless communication device, the method comprising:
-
receiving an access request at a monitoring server from a monitoring device that includes a first identifier of the monitoring device and a second identifier of the monitored device, the monitoring device being remotely located from the monitored device and the monitoring server; authenticating the monitoring device at the monitoring server based on the first identifier of the monitoring device; after authenticating the monitoring device, sending an activation request to the monitored device to activate a sound level monitoring mode at the monitored device, and sending a sound level threshold to the monitored device based on input received from the monitoring device. - View Dependent Claims (9, 10, 11, 12)
