Acoustic diagnosis and correction system
First Claim
1. An acoustic monitoring system, comprising:
- a portable acoustic detection device configured to receive sound from a sound-producing device;
a sound analysis device in electrical communication with the portable acoustic detection device via a data network, the sound analysis device configured to determine at least one diagnosis of the sound-producing device based on a comparison between the sound and pre-recorded sound data, and to determine at least one corrective action based on the at least one diagnosis; and
a confidence level device in electrical communication with the portable acoustic detection device and the sound analysis device, the confidence level device configured to determine a confidence level of the at least one diagnosis indicating a likelihood that the at least one diagnosis is successfully diagnosed,wherein the confidence level device updates the confidence level of the at least one diagnosis in response to a result of the corrective action upon the sound-producing device.

Abstract
An acoustic monitoring system includes a portable acoustic detection device, a sound analysis device and a confidence level device. The portable acoustic detection device is capable of receiving sound at one or more locations near a sound-producing device. The sound analysis device receives the sound from the portable sound detection device, determines a diagnosis based on a comparison between the sound and pre-recorded sound data, and outputs the diagnosis to the portable acoustic detection device. The sound analysis device also determines a corrective action for inhibiting the sound, which is also output to the portable sound detection device. The confidence level device determines a confidence level of the diagnosis indicating a likelihood that the diagnosis is successfully diagnosed.

8. A portable acoustic detection device, comprising:
-
a sensor configured to receive sound from a sound-producing device; a wireless communication module configured to electrically communicate with a sound database that stores pre-stored sound data, and to transmit identification data that identifies the sound-producing device; a sound application module configured to output locality information that indicates a least one location at which the portable acoustic detection device is positioned to receive the sound, and to output a diagnosis and corrective action information to inhibit the sound based on a comparison between the sound and the pre-stored sound data; a user interface configured to display the diagnosis and corrective action information; a confidence level module in electrical communication with the sound application module and the sound data, the confidence level module configured to determine a confidence level indicating a likelihood of success of the at least one diagnosis, the confidence level module configured to update the confidence level in response to a result of the corrective action taken upon the sound-producing device, and configured to perform a confidence-increasing action that increases a particular confidence level of a respective diagnosis based on a comparison between the particular confidence level and a predetermined threshold value. - View Dependent Claims (9, 10, 11)

12. An acoustic analysis device, comprising:
-
a wireless communication module that electrically communicates with a portable acoustic detection device via a data network to receive sound data that is based on sound produced by a sound-producing device; a sound database that stores pre-stored sound data, diagnosis data corresponding to the pre-stored sound data, and corrective action data corresponding to the diagnosis data; a diagnosis module to determine at least one diagnosis of the sound-producing device based on a comparison between the sound data and the pre-recorded sound data, and to determine at least one corrective action based on the at least one diagnosis; a confidence level module in electrical communication with the diagnosis module to determine a confidence level of the at least one diagnosis indicating a likelihood that the at least one diagnosis is successfully diagnosed, the confidence level module configured to update the confidence level in response to a result of the corrective action taken upon the sound-producing device. - View Dependent Claims (13, 14)
