1. A device comprising:

  • a battery;

    a wireless transceiver;

    a plurality of sensors configured to generate information, wherein a sound sensor generates sound information and a vibration sensor generates vibration information;

    a processor configured to execute a plurality of instructions;

    a memory configured to store said instructions as received from a remote device, wherein (a) said instructions received from said remote device when executed are configured to select one of a plurality of modes of operation based on said information,(b) said plurality of modes of operation comprise (i) a low-power mode of operation in which said device consumes less than a pre-determined or adaptively-determined amount of power and said device has less than full functionality and (ii) a high-power mode of operation in which said device consumes more than said pre-determined or adaptively-determined amount of power and said device has more functionality than in said low-power mode, (c) said selection of one of said plurality of modes of operation based on said information comprises the steps of (i) monitoring said vibration information from said vibration sensor and (ii) determining whether said vibration information from said sensors crosses a variable threshold value and (d) said instructions received from said remote device when executed are further configured to (i) operate said device in said high-power mode and (ii) perform an activation and deactivation of said sound sensor in response to said vibration information crossing said variable threshold value; and

    an energy collector configured to provide a variable amount of power to said battery, wherein said processor is further configured to analyze a performance of said enemy collector to adaptively-determined said variable amount of power generated by said enemy collector.
