Selective Sensor Polling

Abstract

A selective sensor polling system for a voice activated data packet based computer network environment is provided. A system can receive audio signals detected by a microphone of a device. The system can parse the audio signal to identify trigger keyword and request. The system can select a template for an action data structure with a plurality of fields. The system can determine to poll a first sensor for data for the first field. The system can determine to obtain data in memory previously collected by the second sensor. The system can generate and transmit the action data structure with the data from the sensor and memory, and transmit the action data structure to a third party device.
