Systems, methods, and devices for activity monitoring via a home assistant

A computer system comprising:

• a voice-activated user interface;
• one or more microphones;
• one or more speakers;
• one or more processors coupled to the one or more microphones and the one or more speakers;
• and
• memory coupled to the one or more processors, the memory storing one or more programs configured to be executed by the one or more processors, the one or more programs including instructions for:
• operating in at least two distinct modes, including an assistant mode and a monitoring mode;
• while operating in the assistant mode, receiving an occupant voice command to operate in the monitoring mode;
• in response to the occupant command, transitioning from operating in the assistant mode to operating in the monitoring mode;
• obtaining one or more monitoring criteria;
• while operating in the monitoring mode, detecting a sound;
• obtaining a determination as to whether the sound meets the one or more monitoring criteria;
• and
• in accordance with a determination that the sound meets the one or more monitoring criteria:
• obtaining a classification of the sound;
• and
• based on sound having a first sound classification, emitting a first simulated occupant response of a plurality of simulated occupant responses via the one or more speakers.

A non-transitory computer-readable storage medium storing one or more programs, the one or more programs comprising instructions, which when executed by a computing system having one or more microphones and one or more speakers, cause the system to:

• operate in at least two distinct modes, including an assistant mode and a monitoring mode;
• while operating in the assistant mode, receive an occupant voice command to operate in the monitoring mode;
• in response to the occupant command, transition from operating in the assistant mode to operating in the monitoring mode;
• obtain one or more monitoring criteria;
• while operating in the monitoring mode, detect a sound;
• obtain a determination as to whether the sound meets the one or more monitoring criteria;
• and
• in accordance with a determination that the sound meets the one or more monitoring criteria:
• obtain a classification of the sound;
• and
• based on sound having a first sound classification, emit a first simulated occupant response of a plurality of simulated occupant responses via the one or more speakers.
