Apparatus and method for generating alarm

1. An apparatus for generating an alarm comprising at least one hardware processor configured to execute instructions to:

analyze at least one of a current image, which includes an object, and a sound related to the object, the current image and the sound being captured by a camera;

determine a type of the object in response to the analysis; and

control an alarm generator to generate an alarm according to a result of the determination, the alarm comprising a prevention alarm configured to prevent the object from approaching,

wherein the processor is configured to determine, after the prevention alarm is generated, whether the object is included in a next image captured by the camera after the current image, and in response to determining that the object is included in the next image, determine a type of the object included in the next image as being different from the type determined from the current image,

wherein the processor is configured to control the alarm generator to generate a tactile alarm,

wherein the tactile alarm comprises vibration at different intensities or in different patterns according to the type of the object, and heat of different temperatures depending on the type of the object, and

wherein the apparatus further comprises at least one additional camera located to capture the object near a lens of the camera.

2. The apparatus of claim 1 , wherein the processor is further configured to control the alarm generator to generate at least one of a visual alarm and an audio alarm.

3. The apparatus of claim 2 , wherein the visual alarm comprises at least one of laser, visible light, infrared (IR) light, and ultraviolet (UV) light, and

wherein the audio alarm comprises at least one of a sound of a particular frequency and a sound of a particular animal.

4. The apparatus of claim 1 , wherein the alarm comprises an inducement alarm which is configured to induce an action of the object.

5. The apparatus of claim 4 , wherein the processor is configured to determine whether the sound continues to be received after the prevention alarm is generated, and,

wherein, in response to determining that the sound continues to be received after the prevention alarm is generated, the processor is configured to determine a type of the object as being different from the type determined from the current image.

6. The apparatus of claim 4 , wherein the inducement alarm comprises an alarm which is configured to move the object to a particular location.

7. The apparatus of claim 1 , wherein the processor is configured to:

generate the alarm in response to the apparatus or a predefined target being approached by the object; and

not generate the alarm in response to the apparatus or a predefined target being approached by an authorized object which is authorized to access the apparatus or the predefined target.

8. The apparatus of claim 7 , further comprising a communication interface configured to send a notification message in response to the predefined target being approached by the object.

9. The apparatus of claim 1 , wherein the processor is configured to control the alarm generator to illuminate laser, and to change a direction of the illumination of the laser to a predetermined location based on a predetermined action by the object.

10. The apparatus of claim 1 , further comprising:

an image pickup module configured to capture an image; and

an additional image pickup module configured to capture an image of a predetermined area surrounding a lens of the image pickup module.

11. The apparatus of claim 10 , wherein the processor is further configured to determine a type of an object in the image of the predetermined area surrounding the lens of the image pickup module.

12. A method of generating an alarm executed by at least one hardware processor, the method comprising:

receiving at least one of a current image, which comprises an object, and a sound related to the object, the current image and the sound being captured by a camera;

determining a type of the object by analyzing the at least one from among the current image and the sound received;

controlling an alarm generator to generate an alarm according to a result of the determination, the alarm comprising a prevention alarm configured to prevent the object from approaching;

determining, after the prevention alarm is generated, whether the object is included in a next image captured by the camera after the current image; and

determining a type of the object included in the next image as being different from the type determined from the current image

wherein the alarm comprises a tactile alarm,

wherein the tactile alarm comprises vibration at different intensities or in different patterns according to the type of the object, and heat of different temperatures according to the type of the object, and

wherein the object is captured by an additional camera located to capture the object near a lens of the camera.

13. The method of claim 12 , wherein the alarm further comprises at least one of a visual alarm and an audio alarm.

14. The method of claim 12 , wherein the alarm comprises an inducement alarm which is configured to induce an action of the object.

15. The method of claim 14 , further comprising:

determining whether the sound continues to be received after the prevention alarm is generated;

in response to determining that the sound continues to be received after the prevention alarm is generated, determining a type of the object as being different from the type determined from the current image.

16. The method of claim 14 , wherein the inducement alarm comprises an alarm which is configured to move the object to a particular location.

17. The method of claim 12 , further comprising:

controlling alarm to be generated in response to an apparatus for generating the alarm or a predefined target being approached by the object; and

controlling no alarm to be generated in response to the apparatus for generating the alarm or a predefined target being approached by an authorized object which is authorized to access the apparatus or the predefined target.

18. The method of claim 17 , further comprising sending a notification message in response to the predefined target being approached by the object.

19. The method of claim 12 , further comprising:

controlling the alarm generator to illuminate laser; and

controlling the alarm generator to change a direction of the illumination of the laser to a predetermined location based on a predetermined action by the object.

20. The method of claim 12 , further comprising:

capturing an image of surroundings of the lens of the camera which captured the current image; and

determining a type of an object in the image of a predetermined area surrounding the lens of the camera.
