Abstract
A system and method for mapping acoustic activities is disclosed. One method comprises receiving acoustic measurements recorded for a predetermined interval at a plurality of telephonic computing devices that are located at a determined location. A map of the acoustic measurements is created based on a location of each of the plurality of telephonic computing devices at which the acoustic amplitude measurement is recorded. An amplitude and/or frequency of the acoustic measurements can be displayed on the map relative to the location of the telephonic computing device at the selected location to form an acoustic map.
Claims20
A method for mapping acoustic activities, comprising:
- receiving, at a server, acoustic sample data recorded for a predetermined interval at a plurality of telephonic devices situated in a determined location, wherein the acoustic sample data includes at least one of frequency information and amplitude information of an acoustic event;
- associating the acoustic sample data relative to a location of a telephonic device at which the acoustic sample data is recorded;
- and
- configuring a map to display:
- a graphical representation of a location of the plurality of telephonic devices;
- and
- at least one of the frequency information and the amplitude information of the acoustic sample data relative to the location of the telephonic device illustrated in the graphical representation at which the acoustic sample data was recorded to provide an acoustic map operable to display the acoustic activities for the determined location.
An acoustic mapping module in communication with a server, comprising:
- a receiving module operable to receive samples of acoustic measurements recorded for a predetermined interval at a plurality of telephonic devices that are positioned at a determined location;
- and
- a mapping module configured to:
- map a location for each sample relative to a location of a telephonic device at which the sample is recorded;
- and
- display a representation of at least one of an amplitude and a frequency of the acoustic measurements relative to the location of the telephonic device to provide an acoustic map configured to display the acoustic activities at the selected location.
At least one non-transitory machine readable storage medium comprising a plurality of instructions adapted to be executed to implement a method for creating an acoustic map, comprising:
- receiving acoustic amplitude measurements recorded for a predetermined interval at a plurality of telephonic computing devices that are located at a determined location;
- creating a map of the acoustic amplitude measurements based on a location of each of the plurality of telephonic computing devices at which the acoustic amplitude measurement is recorded;
- and
- displaying an amplitude of the acoustic amplitude measurements on the map relative to the location of the telephonic computing device at the selected location to form an acoustic map.
