AUDIO DETECTION USING DISTRIBUTED MOBILE COMPUTING

摘要

A method of identifying incidents using mobile devices can include receiving a communicat ion from each of a plurality of mobile devices. Each communication can specify information about a detected sound. Spatial and temporal information can be identified from each communication as well as an indication of a sound signature matching the detected sound. The communications can be compared with a policy specifying spatial and temporal requirements relating to the sound signature indicated by the communications. A 10 notification can be selectively sent according to the comparison.
