Mobile acoustic sensor for monitoring e.g. ill or weak person, has signal processor processing microphone output signal and location information to produce output data having audio signal and location data

摘要

The sensor has a microphone (10) for recording a sound signal (11) falling on the microphone. A location information providing device (12) provides the location information about a place. A signal processor (14) processes a microphone output signal and the location information to produce an output data (17) having an audio signal and the location data that are derived from the location information. The signal processor is provided with an audio compression program to compress the microphone output signal. Independent claims are also included for the following: (1) a method for acoustic monitoring with a microphone (2) a computer program with a program code for implementing a method for acoustic monitoring.
