Abstract
Systems and methods for event-detection confirmation are disclosed. For example, a sensing device may generate sensor data, such as from radar, and the sensor data may be utilized to determine if a predefined event as occurred. Event-confirmation operations may then be performed, such as by utilizing acoustic-event detection techniques and/or natural language understanding techniques. When occurrence of an event is confirmed, such as to a certain confidence level, one or more actions may be taken, such as sending a notification to another device and/or establishing a communication channel with another device, such as a device associated with emergency services, family members, friends, and/or neighbors.
Claims20
A method comprising:
- receiving, at a first device and from a second device disposed in an environment of the first device, first sensor data;
- receiving, at the first device and from a third device disposed in the environment, second sensor data, wherein the first sensor data is associated with a first sensor and the second sensor data is associated with a second sensor that differs from the first sensor;
- generating input data from the first sensor data and the second sensor data, the input data configured to be utilized by an on-device model of the first device to detect a fall event in the environment;
- querying the on-device model, utilizing the input data, for a determination of whether the fall event has occurred;
- and
- selecting at least one of the second device or the third device to perform an action associated with detection of the fall event by the on-device model of the first device.
A first device comprising:
- one or more processors;
- and
- non-transitory computer-readable media storing instructions that, when executed by the one or more processors, cause the one or more processors to perform operations comprising:
- receiving, at the first device and from a second device disposed in an environment of the first device, first sensor data;
- receiving, at the first device and from a third device disposed in the environment, second sensor data, wherein the first sensor data is associated with a first sensor and the second sensor data is associated with a second sensor that differs from the first sensor;
- generating input data from the first sensor data and the second sensor data, the input data configured to be utilized by an on-device model of the first device to detect a fall event in the environment;
- querying the on-device model, utilizing the input data, for a determination of whether the fall event has occurred;
- and
- selecting at least one of the second device or the third device to perform an action associated with detection of the fall event by the on-device model of the first device.
