Abstract
A method that detects a state in a facility with a sensor that has a non-transitory memory with sound samples recorded thereon, a microphone, and a processor that is configured to compare sounds received by the microphone to the sound samples, the method including receiving a sound from the microphone by the processor; comparing the sound with the sound samples; and generating a message by the processor in response to a determination that the received sound and a sound sample from the sound samples correspond.

A method of detecting a state in a facility with a sensor that has a non-transitory memory with sound samples recorded thereon, a microphone, and a processor that is configured to compare sounds received by the microphone to the sound samples, the method comprising:
- receiving a sound from the microphone by the processor;
- comparing the sound with the sound samples;
- and
- generating a message by the processor in response to a determination that the received sound and a sound sample from the sound samples correspond.
A method of detecting states in different zones of a facility with a plurality of sensors, each located in a respective zone of the zones of the facility, and each sensor having a non-transitory memory with sound samples recorded thereon, a microphone, and a processor that is configured to compare sounds received by the microphone to the sound samples, the method comprising:
- receiving a sound from the microphone by the processor of one of the sensors;
- comparing the sound with the sound samples of the one of the sensors;
- and
- generating a message by the processor of the one of the sensors in response to a determination that the received sound and a sound sample from the sound samples correspond.
