METHOD AND SYSTEM FOR SOUND MONITORING OVER A NETWORK
Directed to a wearable device, that receives an acoustic signal from a microphone configured to measure an ambient environment; receives a sensor signal from a sensor; analyzing a sensor signal to detect a trigger event by comparing the sensor signal to a stored list that indicates which sensor signals indicate a trigger event; opening a communication channel with a remote server if a trigger event is detected; generating metadata including a time stamp; transmitting the metadata, the sensor signal and the acoustic signal to the server via the communication channel; and receiving, from the server an indication that the metadata, the sensor signal and acoustic signal has been received.
