Digitized voice alerts
DCFirst Claim
1. A system for providing instant voice alerts automatically to remote electronic devices, said system comprising:
- a processor;
connection to and communication through a packetized data network;
a data bus coupled to said processor; and
a computer-usable medium embodying computer code, said computer-usable medium being coupled to said data bus, said computer program code comprising instructions executable by said processor and configured for;
registering remote electronic devices to receive notifications via wireless data communications networks from the monitoring system including data files comprising digitized voice alerts;
detecting an activity at a premises utilizing at least one sensor via a monitoring system also located at the premises and connected to the packetized data network;
generating and converting a text message indicative of said activity into a data file that can be rendered on a remote electronic device as a digitized voice alert; and
transmitting said data file through the packetized data network for receipt by at least one remote electronic device that is registered to communicate remotely with the monitoring system and to receive messages over the packetized data network for rendering of the digitized voice alert from the data file and that communicates with said data network via wireless data communications, wherein the data file is processed at the at least one remote electronic device for an automatic audio announcement of said digitized voice alert through said at least one remote electronic device.

Abstract
Methods, systems, and processor-readable media for providing instant/real-time voice alerts automatically to remote electronic devices. An activity can be detected utilizing one or more sensors. A text message indicative of the activity can be generated and converted into a digitized voice alert. The activity can also be a live utterance (e.g., a live announcement), which can then be instantly converted into a digitized voice alert for automatic delivery in a selected series of languages following the base language (e.g., English). The combined digitized voice alert can then be instantly transmitted through a network for broadcast of consecutive alerts (e.g., English followed by Spanish followed by Vietnamese, etc.) to one or more remote electronic devices that communicate with the network for an automatic audio announcement of the digitized voice alert through the one or more remote electronic devices.

9. A processor-readable medium storing code representing instructions to cause a processor to perform a process to automatically provide an instant voice announcement to remote electronic devices, said code comprising of instructions operating on a premises monitoring system to:
-
detect a condition or activity at a premises utilizing at least one sensor via a monitoring system also located at the premises and connected to a data network; prepare a digital file containing digitized voice message as a live announcement regarding the condition or the activity; automatically convert said digital file into a packetized digitized voice message indicative of said live announcement; associate said digitized voice message with a text message to be transmitted through a data communications network to a plurality of remote electronic devices that are authorized to communicate with said data communications network and are registered to receive text messages from the premises monitoring system; and transmit said text message with said digitized voice message through the data network from at least one of a server in communication with said monitoring system or said monitoring system for receipt and processing by said plurality of electronic devices for automatic playback of said digitized voice message through at least one remote electronic device among said plurality of remote electronic devices upon receipt of said text message with said digitized voice message at said at least one remote electronic device among said plurality of remote electronic devices.
