Patent attributes
A remote distress monitor includes a steerable microphone array, a memory, and a control system. The steerable microphone array is configured to detect audio data and generate sound data. The memory stores machine-readable instructions. The control system includes one or more processors configured to execute the machine-readable instructions. The generated sound data from the steerable microphone array is analyzed. Based at least in part on the analysis, a token associated with the audio data detected by the steerable microphone array is generated. The audio data is representative of one or more sounds associated with a distress event. The generated token is transmitted, via a communications network, to an electronic device to cause a distress response action to occur. The distress response action is associated with the distress event.
