  • EVENT SENSING SYSTEM
    Publication number: 20240112670
    Abstract: An event sensing system includes one or more sensor assemblies, each sensor assembly including a housing, a microphone, and an audio signal processor. The audio signal processor is configured to generate one of an event classification, which is indicative of a type of event, and an event characteristic, which is indicative of a severity of an event, from the audio signal. The sensor assembly is configured to transmit event records that contain the generated event data to a cloud infrastructure component. The cloud infrastructure component is configured to calculate the probability of an event occurring at a plurality of locations in a region within a bounded time window based on the event records received from a plurality of sensor assemblies.
