## Abstract

An electronic device including: a processor, a SIM card, one or more sensors, and a memory. The processor may: analyze words or phrases spoken by one or more trusted user(s) using voice recognition; determine if the one or more trusted user(s) has spoken a wake word, activate the one or more sensors to collect data when it has been determined the wake word has been spoken; determine location and temporal data for the electronic device from the SIM card; continue to analyze words or phrases spoken by one or more trusted user(s) using voice recognition; determine if one or more trigger words has been spoken; and activate the one or more response measure(s) if it is determined that a trigger word has been spoken. Also described is a security system and a method for carrying out a predetermined response as a result of spoken wake and trigger words.

## Claims

### Claim 1

A security system comprising:
a master device including,
one or more processors,
a cellular modem, one or more non-cellular radios, or combinations thereof;
a SIM card configured for providing temporal and location data,
a GPS chip, and
one or more sensors, and
one or more electronic devices, each said electronic device including:
one or more sensors; and
a memory for storing logic for execution by the processor to:
analyze words or phrases spoken by one or more trusted user(s) using voice recognition;
determine from the analyzed words or phrases if the one or more trusted user(s) has spoken a wake word,
activate the one or more sensors to collect auditory, visual, and/or bio-metric data received by the one or more sensors of the electronic device when it has been determined that one said trusted user has spoken the wake word;
continue to analyze words or phrases spoken by one or more trusted user(s) using voice recognition;
determine if one said trusted user has spoken one or more trigger words from the analyzed words or phrases; and
communicate with the master device to activate one or more response measure(s) if it is determined that one said trusted user has spoken one said trigger word,
wherein the one or more electronic devices are configured as slave electronic devices to the master device, the one or more slave electronic devices employ a direct authentication method to establish a trust with the master device and each of the one or more slave electronic devices are in bidirectional communication with the master device by using the cellular modem, the one or more non-cellular radios, or a combination thereof.
