Alerting device for warning of anomalies in behavioral patterns

An alerting device for warning of anomalies in the behavioral patterns of a person, the device comprising:

• one or more ambient sensoring means comprising one or more ambient sound sensoring means, the one or more ambient sensoring means being adapted to continuously monitor real-time data originating from behavioral patterns of a person;
• one or more pre-defined pattern profiles stored in the device, including one or more pre-defined sound patterns transformed via a Fast Fourier Transform (FFT) algorithm into one or more pre-defined FFT Sound Pattern Profiles;
• and
• one or more computing means configured to:
• continuously transform real-time sound monitored by the one or more ambient sound sensoring means via a Fast Fourier Transform (FFT) algorithm into one or more real-time FFT Sound Pattern Profiles, thereby allowing a privacy-protecting detection of the ambient sound from the site of operation;
• continuously perform a pattern recognition, including a continuous comparison of the one or more real-time FFT Sound Pattern Profiles with the one or more pre-defined FFT Sound Pattern Profiles;
• store one or more event triggers on the device in case of a match between real-time data and the one or more pre-defined pattern profiles, including a match between the one or more real-time FFT Sound Pattern Profiles and the one or more pre-defined FFT Sound Pattern Profiles;
• and
• execute an alert based on the one or more stored event triggers if pre-set data sharing permissions allow it, thereby warning of anomalies in the behavioral patterns of a person.
