Method to generate a sound illusion profile to replicate a quantity of resources
A method is provided that generates a sound illusion profile to replicate a quantity of resources arriving at an incident scene. A virtual partner or the like determines that an incident has escalated from a first severity level to a second severity level. The virtual partner determines a quantity of resources needed to deescalate the incident to the first severity level. A sound illusion profile is generated to replicate a sound associated with the quantity of resources. A signal is sent to one or more speaker devices in a region surrounding the location of the incident to generate an output sound based on the sound illusion profile.
1. A method comprising:
determining that an incident has escalated from a first severity level to a second severity level;
determining a number of weapons needed to deescalate the incident to the first severity level;
generating a sound illusion profile to replicate a sound associated with the number of weapons; and
sending a signal to one or more speaker devices in a region surrounding the location of the incident to generate an output sound based on the sound illusion profile.
2. The method of claim 1 , wherein the step of generating a sound illusion profile further comprises generating the sound illusion as a function of the location of the incident.
3. The method of claim 1 , wherein the step of generating a sound illusion profile further comprises generating the sound illusion as a function of ambient parameters at the incident.
4. The method of claim 3 , wherein the ambient parameters are road conditions.
5. The method of claim 3 , wherein the ambient parameters are weather conditions.
6. The method of claim 3 , wherein the ambient parameters are building structural conditions.
7. The method of claim 1 , wherein the step of determining that an incident has escalated from a first severity level to a second severity level comprises determining that an incident has escalated from a first severity level to a second severity level based upon sounds heard at the incident.
8. The method of claim 7 , wherein the sounds comprise a tone of voice.
9. The method of claim 7 , wherein the sounds comprise predetermined words.
10. The method of claim 7 , wherein the sounds comprise a detection of weapons being drawn.
11. The method of claim 1 , wherein the step of determining that an incident has escalated from a first severity level to a second severity level comprises determining that an incident has escalated from a first severity level to a second severity level based upon an assessment of the number of distinct voices.
12. The method of claim 1 , wherein the step of determining that an incident has escalated from a first severity level to a second severity level comprises determining that an incident has escalated from a first severity level to a second severity level based upon video collected at the incident.
13. The method of claim 12 , wherein the video comprises suspicious facial expressions.
14. The method of claim 12 , wherein the video comprises a detection of weapons.
15. A method comprising:
determining that an incident has escalated from a first severity level to a second severity level;
determining a quantity of resources needed to deescalate the incident to the first severity level;
generating a sound illusion profile to replicate a sound associated with the quantity of resources, wherein the sound illusion profile comprises computer-generated conversations; and
sending a signal to one or more speaker devices in a region surrounding the location of the incident to generate an output sound based on the sound illusion profile.
16. The method of claim 15 , the method further comprising the step of inserting a key word into the computer-generated conversation, the key word indicating that the computer-generated conversation is the sound illusion profile.
