Systems, methods and devices for public announcements
First Claim
1. A system for providing public announcements comprising:
- a plurality of sensors configured to provide sensor data regarding a population in a geographic area;
a data feed interface configured to receive feed data from a management system, the feed data describing population attributes in the geographic area;
a data aggregation engine configured to create aggregated data describing population characteristics in the geographic area from the sensor data and feed data;
an inference engine configured to receive the aggregated data and estimate content delivery preferences for the geographic area through rule-based inference that includes correlating the population characteristics included in the aggregated data;
a characteristic ranking engine configured to receive the content delivery preferences and provide sorted content delivery preferences based on a set of priorities; and
a recommendation engine configured to receive the sorted content delivery preferences and transmit a recommendation to a public announcement system, the recommendation comprising a set of announcement characteristics based at least in part on the sorted content delivery preferences; and
a public announcement system configured to;
receive the recommendation;
prepare a content transmission based on the set of announcement characteristics; and
transmit the content transmission for presentation on one or more of a content delivery system or a personal device.

Abstract
A public addressing system can identify user preferences including language, volume, and method of delivery to provide improved content in a given geographical area using perceptual computing techniques. The system can also support the use of personal devices including wearables in order to deliver private personalized messages discreetly. For example, one embodiment of a public announcement system gathers and aggregates demographic data of a population in a public place. The public announcement system creates inferences from this data to predict content delivery preferences, such as a sequence of languages or delivery characteristics (e.g., speech rate, content and volume). The delivery preferences can be ranked and then a recommendation for a public announcement provided.

13. A device for content transmission customization comprising:
-
a data feed interface configured to receive feed data from a management system describing population attributes in the geographic area; a sensor interface configured to receive sensor data from sensors providing data describing a population in the geographic area; a data aggregation engine configured to create aggregated data describing population characteristics in the geographic area from sensor data and feed data; an inference engine configured to utilize the aggregated data to estimate content delivery preferences for the geographic area through a rule-based inference that includes correlating the population characteristics included in the aggregated data; a characteristic ranking engine configured to receive the content delivery preferences and provide sorted content delivery preferences based on a set of priorities; a recommendation engine configured to receive the sorted content delivery preferences and prepare a recommendation of content, the recommendation comprising a set of content characteristics for a content transmission based at least in part on the sorted content delivery preferences, a content delivery system configured to; process the recommendation; and prepare a content message based on the set of announcement characteristics; a public announcement system interface configured to provide the content message to a public announcement system for presentation on one or more of a content delivery system or a personal device. - View Dependent Claims (14, 15, 16, 17)

18. At least one non-transitory computer readable storage medium having stored thereon instructions that, when executed by a computing device, cause the computing device to:
-
aggregate data describing estimated demographic information for a geographic area covered by a public announcement system; infer a set of content delivery preferences based at least in part on the aggregated data; determine content delivery characteristics based at least in part on the inferred content delivery preferences; sort the set of content delivery characteristics based at least in part on a set of priorities; compute a set of public announcement recommendations based at least in part on the sorted content delivery characteristics; prepare a content message based on the set of public announcement recommendations; and provide the content message to a public announcement system for presentation on one or more of a content delivery system or a personal device. - View Dependent Claims (19, 20, 21, 22, 23)
