Abstract
Systems and methods for crowdsourced noise monitoring are provided. An example for crowdsourced noise monitoring includes a noise monitoring system receiving and storing audio files and context data associated with a noise event in a database. A log of the audio files and context data can be created. Noise complaints can also be received from users by the noise monitoring system. Additional logs of the noise complaints can then be created. The log of the noise event and the additional logs of the noise complaints are analyzed to determine whether the noise complaints are related to the noise event. If the noise complaints are related to the noise event, the log and additional logs can automatically be forwarded to an authorized user.
Claims22
A method for crowdsourced noise monitoring, the method comprising:
- receiving, by at least one audio monitoring device, an audible sound of a noise event;
- determining, by the at least one audio monitoring device, that a trigger condition for the noise event has been met;
- upon meeting of the trigger condition for the noise event, recording, by the at least one audio monitoring device, the audible sound of the noise event, the recorded audible sound comprising at least a first audio file and context data associated with the noise event;
- sending, by the at least one audio monitoring device, the first audio file and the context data to a noise monitoring system, the noise monitoring system in communication with the at least one audio monitoring device via a network;
- storing, by the noise monitoring system, the first audio file and the context data associated with the noise event in a database;
- and
- creating, by the noise monitoring system, a first log of the noise event, the first log comprising the first audio file and the context data associated with the noise event.
A system for crowdsourced noise monitoring, the system comprising:
- at least one audio monitoring device configured to:
- receive audible sounds of a noise event;
- determine that a trigger condition for the noise event has been met;
- and
- upon meeting of the trigger condition for the noise event, record the audible sounds of the noise event, the recorded audible sounds comprising at least a first audio file and context data associated with the noise event;
- and
- a noise monitoring system in communication with the at least one audio monitoring device via a network, the noise monitoring system configured to:
- receive the first audio file and the context data associated with the noise event from the at least one audio monitoring device;
- store the first audio file and the context data associated with the noise event in a database;
- and
- create a first log of the noise event, the first log including at least the first audio file and the context data associated with the noise event.
A method for crowdsourced noise monitoring, the method comprising:
- receiving at least one audio file and context data associated with a noise event;
- storing the received at least one audio file and the context data in a database;
- creating a first log of the received at least one audio file and the context data;
- receiving a plurality of noise complaints from a plurality of users;
- creating a plurality of second logs of the plurality of noise complaints;
- analyzing the first log and the plurality of second logs to determine whether at least one of the plurality of noise complaints is related to the noise event;
- and
- if at least one of the plurality of noise complaints is related to the noise event, automatically forwarding the first log and at least one second log created from the at least one of the plurality of noise complaints related to the noise event to an authorized user.
