Abstract
Systems, apparatuses, and methods are described for identifying a recurring event associated with a premises, and automatically performing actions associated with the recurring event. A computing device may generate a signature for the recurring event to indicate a series of actions associated with the recurring event, may detect occurrence of the recurring event, and may perform one or more of the series of actions indicated by the signature.
Claims20
A method comprising:
- receiving, by a computing device, audio data comprising non-verbal sounds occurring during an entry into a premises;
- comparing, by the computing device, the sounds to at least one activity signature, wherein the at least one activity signature indicates a sequence of actions, performed by an authorized user associated with the premises, during prior entries into the premises;
- identifying, by the computing device and based on the comparing, the authorized user entering the premises;
- and
- disarming, by the computing device and based on the identifying, a security system associated with the premises.

A method comprising:
- receiving, by a computing device, audio data comprising non-verbal sounds occurring during an entry into a premises by a user;
- comparing, by the computing device, the sounds to at least one activity signature, wherein the at least one activity signature indicates a sequence of actions, performed by an authorized user associated with the premises, during prior entries into the premises;
- determining, by the computing device and based on the comparing, that the user is not the authorized user;
- and
- causing, by the computing device and based on the determining, a security system associated with the premises to trigger an alarm.

A method comprising:
- receiving, by a computing device, audio data comprising non-verbal sounds occurring during an exit from a premises;
- comparing, by the computing device, the sounds to one or more activity signatures, wherein each activity signature indicates a sequence of actions performed by a user, of one or more users associated with the premises, during prior exits from the premises;
- identifying, by the computing device and based on the comparing, a specific user of the one or more users that is exiting the premises;
- and
- causing, by the computing device and based on the identifying, a device associated with the premises to perform an action.
