Event sensing system with audio signal processing for event classification
A recently granted patent (Publication Number: US11875782B2) discloses an event sensing system that includes a plurality of sensor assemblies coupled to structures in a specific region. Each sensor assembly comprises a housing with a microphone, an audio signal processor, and a communications interface. The audio signal processor processes audio signals, generates event classifications and characteristics, and outputs event records. These event records are sent to a cloud infrastructure component that computes the probability of an event occurring in a different region based on the data received from the sensor assemblies. The system can detect weather events, determine event probabilities at locations without sensors, and assess the likelihood of property damage.
Furthermore, the system can incorporate external data, such as user-generated event confirmations and weather data from third-party servers, into the event records. The audio signal processor uses machine learning algorithms to process data and can differentiate between various types of weather-related events. Additionally, the system includes methods for processing event data, computing event probabilities, determining event types and severities, and assessing insurance claims based on the received data. By automatically generating insurance claims and estimating the probability of property damage, this event sensing system offers a comprehensive solution for monitoring and analyzing events in different regions, enhancing risk assessment, and streamlining insurance claim processes.
