SYSTEMS AND METHODS FOR ADAPTIVE DETECTION OF AUDIO ALARMS
First Claim
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; and
transmit an alert to a client device that an audio alarm has occurred.

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.

9. 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 base on the defined set of alarm templates previously stored in the memory; and transmitting, at the processor, an alert to a client device that an audio alarm has occurred. - View Dependent Claims (10, 11, 12, 13, 14, 15, 16)
