Audio-video tip analysis, storage, and alerting system for safety, security, and business productivity
First Claim
1. A module for receiving media tips, comprising:
- a receiver for receiving a media tip from an external source;
a processor comprising program code for extracting meta-data from the media tip and for determining one or more weights for the media tip based at least on three weights including a weight corresponding to a reliability of the external source of the media tip, a weight corresponding to a time the media tip was received, and a weight corresponding to a frequency that the media tip was received; and
a storage unit for storing the media tip received from the external source and the extracted meta-data,wherein the media tip is a tip selected from the group consisting of a still-image tip, a video tip, an audio tip, and an audiovideo tip.

Abstract
An audio surveillance, storage, and alerting system, including the following components: One or more audio sensory devices capture audio data having attribute data representing importance of the audio sensory devices. One or more audio analytics devices process the audio data to detect audio events. A network management module monitors network status of the audio sensory devices and generates network events reflective of the network status of all subsystems. A correlation engine correlates two or more events weighted by the attribute data of the device used to capture the data. Finally, an alerting engine generates one or more alerts and performs one or more actions based on the correlation performed by the correlation engine. This invention may be used to help fight crime and help ensure safety procedures are followed.
