Abstract
Systems and methods to initiate actions based on encoded sounds associated with containers are described. Responsive to opening of containers, various structures may emit the encoded sounds. The encoded sounds may be received, processed, and recognized to identify audio signatures within the encoded sounds. Containers and information associated therewith may be identified based on the identified audio signatures. One or more actions or outputs may be initiated related to the containers or information associated therewith using various output devices.
Claims20
A system to trigger an action based on an encoded sound associated with a container, comprising:
- an audio capture device;
- and
- a computing device in communication with the audio capture device, the computing device including a processor configured to at least:
- receive an encoded sound responsive to opening of a compartment of the container;
- identify an audio signature within the received encoded sound;
- identify the compartment of the container based at least in part on the audio signature;
- identify information associated with an object within the compartment of the container;
- and
- initiate at least one output based at least in part on the container and the information associated with the object within the compartment of the container.
A computer-implemented method, comprising:
- identifying an audio signature within an encoded sound received responsive to opening of a compartment of a container;
- identifying the container and information associated with an item included in the compartment of the container based at least in part on the audio signature;
- and
- initiating at least one output based at least in part on the container and the information associated with the item included in the compartment of the container.
A method to trigger an action based on an encoded sound associated with a container, comprising:
- receiving, by a computing device, a sound responsive to opening of a compartment of the container;
- identifying, by the computing device, an audio signature within the received sound;
- identifying, by the computing device, the container and information associated with an item included in the compartment of the container based at least in part on the audio signature;
- and
- initiating, by the computing device, at least one output based at least in part on the container and the information associated with the item included in the compartment of the container.
