1. A method for using an observation platform with an external device, comprising: receiving a signal from a first communication device at a second communication device associated with a computer system wherein a first characteristic of said signal corresponds to an audible source proximate to said first communication device and a second characteristic of said signal corresponds to information indicative of a geographic position of said first communication device; deriving context information from said signal at said computer system from, at least in part, a speech to text analysis of said audible source, a policy implemented in said computer system by a controlling enterprise, and inferences calculated by a combination of policy, text analysis, and secondary information contained in said signal; determining an action to take place at an external device based on said context information, wherein said external device is one of a plurality of external devices and is networked to said second communication device; and sending a second signal to said external device to instruct said device to take said action.
