Abstract

Systems and methods for event-detection confirmation are disclosed. For example, a sensing device may generate sensor data, such as from radar, and the sensor data may be utilized to determine if a predefined event as occurred. Event-confirmation operations may then be performed, such as by utilizing acoustic-event detection techniques and/or natural language understanding techniques. When occurrence of an event is confirmed, such as to a certain confidence level, one or more actions may be taken, such as sending a notification to another device and/or establishing a communication channel with another device, such as a device associated with emergency services, family members, friends, and/or neighbors.
