Acoustic diagnosis and correction system
First Claim
1. A method of monitoring acoustics produced by a sound-producing device, the method comprising:
- receiving sound from a sound-producing device via a portable acoustic detection device;
communicating the sound to a sound analysis device via a data network and comparing the sound to pre-recorded sound data to determine at least one diagnosis of the sound-producing device;
determining at least one corrective action based on the at least one diagnosis;
determining a confidence level of the at least one diagnosis indicating a likelihood that the at least one diagnosis is successfully diagnosed;
increasing a particular confidence level of a respective diagnosis based on a comparison between the particular confidence level and a predetermined threshold value, the increase of the particular confidence level performed automatically in response to the particular confidence level being less than the predetermined threshold value, wherein the confidence-increasing action includes communicating with at least one of a technician and a social media network via the data network to receive updated corrected actions.

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.

7. A method of detecting sound from a sound-producing device, the method comprising:
-
electrically communicating identification data that identifies the sound-producing device; receiving locality information that indicates a least one location to position a portable acoustic detection device to receive sound produced by the sound-producing device based on the identification data; receiving the sound at the at least one location indicated by the locality information; comparing the sound to pre-stored sound data; outputting a diagnosis and corrective action information to the portable acoustic detection device based on the comparing to inhibit the sound; determining a confidence level indicating a likelihood of success of the at least one diagnosis; and increasing a particular confidence level of a respective diagnosis based on a comparison between the particular confidence level and a predetermined threshold value, the increase of the particular confidence level performed automatically in response to the particular confidence level being less than the predetermined threshold value, wherein the confidence-increasing action includes communicating with at least one of a technician and a social media network via the data network to receive updated corrected actions. - View Dependent Claims (8, 9, 10, 11)

12. A method of analyzing sound produced by a sound-producing device, the method comprising:
-
receiving sound data received by a portable acoustic detection device via a data network, the sound data based on sound produced by the sound-producing device; storing pre-stored sound data, diagnosis data corresponding to the pre-stored sound data, and corrective action data corresponding to the diagnosis data; determining at least one diagnosis of the sound-producing device based on a comparison between the sound data and the pre-recorded sound data; and determining at least one corrective action based on the at least one diagnosis; determining a confidence level of the at least one diagnosis indicating a likelihood that the at least one diagnosis is successfully diagnosed; and increasing a particular confidence level of a respective diagnosis based on a comparison between the particular confidence level and a predetermined threshold value, the increase of the particular confidence level performed automatically in response to the particular confidence level being less than the predetermined threshold value, wherein the confidence-increasing action includes communicating with at least one of a technician and a social media network via the data network to receive updated corrected actions. - View Dependent Claims (13, 14, 15)
