Event triggered messaging
View Patent ↗Apparatuses, techniques, and methods for a security and/or automation system are described. In some cases, these may include a first user recording a message and the message being broadcast or conveyed to a second user based on the second user's identity and/or location and/or a relevant time of recording or broadcasting, among other things. The methods may include receiving a first communication from a first user, storing the first communication in memory, identifying a second user at a first location, retrieving the first communication from memory, the retrieving based at least in part on the identification of the second user, and conveying the first communication to the second user at the first location.
1. A method for wireless communication, comprising:
receiving, via a transceiver of a camera, an electronic message at a first location;
determining, via the camera, that the electronic message comprises an audio portion;
analyzing, via the camera, the audio portion of the electronic message to determine a sender of the electronic message and information associated with an intended recipient of the electronic message;
comparing, via the camera, the determined information with information stored in memory associated with the camera;
identifying, via the camera, the intended recipient of the electronic message based at least in part on the comparing and the determined sender; and
broadcasting a portion of the electronic message based at least in part on identifying the intended recipient.
2. The method of claim 1 , further comprising:
receiving, via the transceiver of the camera, location information associated with the intended recipient relative to the camera;
determining a location of the intended recipient based at least in part on the received location information; and
broadcasting the portion of the electronic message based at least in part on the received location information, the determined location of the intended recipient, or both.
3. The method of claim 2 , wherein the location information is received from a remote device associated with the intended recipient, the remote device being located at a remote location relative to the camera.
4. The method of claim 2 , further comprising:
receiving, via the transceiver of the camera, a pre-stored schedule data from a remote device associated with the intended recipient; and
determining the location of the intended recipient based at least in part on the received schedule data, wherein broadcasting the portion of the electronic message is based at least in part on the received schedule data and the location of the intended recipient.
5. The method of claim 2 , wherein the location of the intended recipient is determined based at least in part on at least one of one or more home automation sensors, a global positioning system (GPS), context clues associated with the electronic message, or a combination thereof.
6. The method of claim 2 , further comprises:
determining that a remote device is located at or within a predetermined distance of the determined location of the intended recipient; and
broadcasting the portion of the electronic message to the remote device at or within the predetermined distance.
7. The method of claim 1 , further comprising:
retrieving the information stored in the memory associated with the camera.
8. The method of claim 7 , wherein the information stored in the memory associated with the camera is at least one of a pre-programmed contact, a telephone number associated with an outgoing call, a name associated with the outgoing call, or a combination thereof.
9. The method of claim 1 , wherein the broadcasting comprises an audio broadcast, a video broadcast, or both.
10. The method of claim 1 , wherein the electronic message is received from a second location remote from the first location.
11. The method of claim 1 , wherein the electronic message comprises a pre-recorded message.
12. An apparatus for wireless communication, comprising:
a processor;
memory in electronic communication with the processor; and
instructions stored in the memory, the instructions causing the processor to::
receive, via a transceiver of a camera, an electronic message at a first location;
determine, via the camera, that the electronic message comprises an audio portion;
analyze, via the camera, the audio portion of the electronic message to determine a sender of the electronic message and information associated with an intended recipient of the electronic message;
compare, via the camera, the determined information with information stored in memory associated with the camera;
identify, via the camera, the intended recipient of the electronic message based at least in part on the comparing and the determined sender; and
broadcast a portion of the electronic message based at least in part on identifying the intended recipient.
13. The apparatus of claim 12 , wherein the instructions further cause the processor to:
receive location information associated with the intended recipient relative to the camera;
determine a location of the intended recipient based at least in part on the received location information; and
broadcast the portion of the electronic message based at least in part on the received location information, the determined location of the intended recipient, or both.
14. The apparatus of claim 13 , wherein the location information is received from a remote device associated with the intended recipient, the remote device being located at a remote location relative to the camera.
15. The apparatus of claim 13 , wherein the instructions further cause the processor to:
receive a pre-stored schedule data from a remote device associated with the intended recipient; and
determine the location of the intended recipient based at least in part on the received schedule data, wherein broadcasting the portion of the electronic message is based at least in part on the received schedule data and the location of the intended recipient.
16. The apparatus of claim 13 , wherein the location of the intended recipient is determined based at least in part on at least one of one or more home automation sensors, a global positioning system (GPS), context clues associated with the electronic message, or a combination thereof.
17. The apparatus of claim 13 , wherein the instructions further cause the processor to:
determine that a remote device is located at or within a predetermined distance of the determined location of the intended recipient; and
broadcast the portion of the electronic message to the remote device at or within the predetermined distance.
18. A non-transitory computer-readable medium storing computer-executable code, the code executable by a processor to:
receive, via a transceiver of a camera, an electronic message at a first location;
determine, via the camera, that the electronic message comprises an audio portion;
analyze, via the camera, the audio portion of the electronic message to determine a sender of the electronic message and information associated with an intended recipient of the electronic message;
compare, via the camera, the determined information with information stored in memory associated with the camera;
identify, via the camera, the intended recipient of the electronic message based at least in part on the comparing and the determined sender; and
broadcast a portion of the electronic message based at least in part on identifying the intended recipient.
19. The non-transitory computer-readable medium of claim 18 , wherein the code further executable by the processor to:
receive location information associated with the intended recipient relative to the camera;
determine a location of the intended recipient based at least in part on the received location information; and
broadcast the portion of the electronic message based at least in part on the received location information, the determined location of the intended recipient, or both.
20. The non-transitory computer-readable medium of claim 19 , wherein the location information is received from a remote device associated with the intended recipient, the remote device being located at a remote location relative to the camera.
