Abstract

Presented herein are system and methods for generating overlayed sounds to deter perpetration of an event A system can include an image capture device and one or more processors coupled with memory. The system can detect an entity within an area. The system can determine that the entity corresponds to one or more criteria. The system can identify a first sound corresponding to the one or more criteria and a state of the area. The system can play, by a speaker device, the first sound to deter the entity from perpetrating an event within the area. The system can identify a second sound corresponding to the one or more criteria, the state of the area, and the first sound. The system can play, by the speaker device, the second sound to deter the entity from perpetrating the event.

Claims (60)

1 . An apparatus comprising:

an image capture device; and

one or more processors coupled with memory and configured to:

detect, using the image capture device, an entity within an area;

determine that the entity corresponds to one or more criteria;

identify a first sound corresponding to the one or more criteria and a state of the area;

play, by a speaker device, the first sound to deter the entity from perpetrating an event within the area;

identify a second sound corresponding to the one or more criteria, the state of the area, and the first sound; and

play, by the speaker device, the second sound to deter the entity from perpetrating the event.

2 . The apparatus of claim 1 , wherein the one or more processors are configured to:

detect the entity within the area by detecting at least one of physical characteristics of the entity or behavioral characteristics of the entity.

3 . The apparatus of claim 1 , wherein the one or more processors are configured to:

detect the entity within the area based on images captured of the entity;

determine, using image recognition techniques, features of the entity from the images; and

determine that the entity corresponds to the one or more criteria responsive to determining that the features of the entity meet a threshold for features of the one or more criteria.

4 . The apparatus of claim 1 , wherein the state comprises one or more of a time of day, a resident within the area, or a holiday.

5 . The apparatus of claim 1 , wherein identifying the first sound corresponding to the one or more criteria and a state of the area includes providing the state and the one or more criteria as inputs to a machine learning model to generate the first sound.

6 . The apparatus of claim 1 , wherein the one or more processors are configured to:

determine, responsive to playing the first sound, one or more second criteria of the entity; and

identify the second sound corresponding to the one or more criteria, the state of the area, and the one or more second criteria.

7 . The apparatus of claim 1 , wherein the one or more processors are configured to:

identify a third sound corresponding to the one or more criteria, the state of the area, the first sound, and the second sound; and

play, by a second speaker device located separately from the speaker device, the third sound to deter the entity from perpetrating the event.

8 . The apparatus of claim 1 , wherein the first sound and the second sound are played in at least partial concurrence.

9 . An apparatus comprising:

an image capture device; and

one or more processors coupled with memory and configured to:

determine, based on a schedule of states, a state of an area;

detect, using the image capture device, an entity within the area;

identify a sound corresponding to the state of the area; and

play, by a speaker device, the sound to present a theme associated with the state of the area.

10 . The apparatus of claim 9 , wherein the schedule of states includes holidays.

11 . A method, comprising:

detecting, by one or more processors coupled with memory and an image capture device, an entity within an area;

determining, by the one or more processors, that the entity corresponds to one or more criteria;

identifying, by the one or more processors, a first sound corresponding to the one or more criteria and a state of the area;

playing, by the one or more processors via a speaker device, the first sound to deter the entity from perpetrating an event within the area;

identifying, by the one or more processors, a second sound corresponding to the one or more criteria, the state of the area, and the first sound; and

playing, by the one or more processors via the speaker device, the second sound to deter the entity from perpetrating the event.

12 . The method of claim 11 , comprising:

detecting, by the one or more processors, the entity within the area by detecting at least one of physical characteristics of the entity or behavioral characteristics of the entity.

13 . The method of claim 11 , comprising:

detecting, by the image capture device, the entity within the area based on images captured of the entity;

determining, by the one or more processors using image recognition techniques, features of the entity from the images; and

determining, by the one or more processors, that the entity corresponds to the one or more criteria responsive to determining that features of the entity meet a threshold for features of the one or more criteria.

14 . The method of claim 11 , comprising:

detecting, by the image capture device, the one or more criteria of the entity; and

generating, by the one or more processors, a profile corresponding to the one or more criteria of the entity.

15 . The method of claim 11 , wherein the state comprises one or more of a time of day, a resident within the area, or a holiday.

16 . The method of claim 11 , comprising: wherein identifying the first sound corresponding to the one or more criteria and a state of the area includes providing the state and the one or more criteria as inputs to a machine learning model to generate the first sound.

17 . The method of claim 11 , comprising:

determining, by the one or more processors, responsive to playing the first sound, one or more second criteria of the entity; and

identifying, by the one or more processors, the second sound corresponding to the one or more criteria, the state of the area, and the one or more second criteria.

18 . The method of claim 11 , comprising:

identifying, by the one or more processors, a third sound corresponding to the one or more criteria, the state of the area, the first sound, and the second sound; and

playing, by the one or more processors via a second speaker device located separately from the speaker device, the third sound to deter the entity from perpetrating the event.

19 . The method of claim 11 , comprising:

capturing, by the image capture device, images of the entity in the area; and

transmitting, by the one or more processors, the images of the entity to a client device associated with the area.

20 . The method of claim 11 , wherein the first sound and the second sound are played in at least partial concurrence.
