Abstract
Detecting and monitoring legacy devices (such as appliances in a home) using audio sensing is disclosed. Methods and systems are provided for transforming audio data captured by the sensor to afford privacy when speech is overheard by the sensor. Because these transformations may negatively impact the ability to detect/monitor devices, an effective transformation is determined based on both privacy and detectability concerns.
