Abstract

Techniques for delaying an alert based on suspicious activity detection are provided. An artificial intelligence system may detect suspicious behavior of a suspect within a vicinity of a school. A responder may be dispatched to investigate the suspect. An alert signal may be temporarily delayed. A time period for the delay may be associated with a time required for the responder to investigate and a severity of the alert signal. The delay may be canceled when the responder indicates the suspect behavior is not suspicious.

Claims (40)

1. A method comprising:

detecting, via an artificial intelligence system, suspicious behavior of a suspect within a vicinity of a school;

dispatching a responder to investigate the suspect;

temporarily delaying an alert signal, a time period of the delay associated with a time required for the responder to investigate and a severity of the alert signal; and

canceling the delay when the responder indicates the suspect behavior is not suspicious.

2. The method of claim 1 wherein the alert signal is at least one of a school dismissal bell and a school passing period bell.

3. The method of claim 2 further comprising:

initiating an alternative response when the responder has indicated the suspect behavior is suspicious.

4. The method of claim 1 wherein the time period for the delay is further based on an alert signal schedule, wherein the time period for the delay is selected such that no additional alert signal is scheduled during the time period for the delay.

5. The method of claim 1 wherein the alert signal is a fire alarm signal.

6. The method of claim 5 wherein the delay is only applied to fire alarm signals within an immediate vicinity of the suspect.

7. The method of claim 6 further comprising:

initiating an alternative response when the responder has indicated the suspect behavior is suspicious.

8. A system comprising:

a processor; and

a memory coupled to the processor, the memory containing a set of instructions thereon that when executed by the processor cause the processor to:

detect suspicious behavior of a suspect within a vicinity of a school;

dispatch a responder to investigate the suspect;

temporarily delay an alert signal, a time period of the delay associated with a time required for the responder to investigate and a severity of the alert signal; and

cancel the delay when the responder indicates the suspect behavior is not suspicious.

9. The system of claim 8 wherein the alert signal is at least one of a school dismissal bell and a school passing period bell.

10. The system of claim 9 further comprising instructions to:

initiate an alternative response when the responder has indicated the suspect behavior is suspicious.

11. The system of claim 8 wherein the time period for the delay is further based on an alert signal schedule, wherein the time period for the delay is selected such that no additional alert signal is scheduled during the time period for the delay.

12. The system of claim 8 wherein the alert signal is a fire alarm signal.

13. The system of claim 12 wherein the delay is only applied to fire alarm signals within an immediate vicinity of the suspect.

14. The system of claim 13 further comprising instructions to:

initiate an alternative response when the responder has indicated the suspect behavior is suspicious.

15. A non-transitory processor readable medium containing a set of instructions thereon that when executed by a processor cause the processor to:

detect suspicious behavior of a suspect within a vicinity of a school;

dispatch a responder to investigate the suspect;

temporarily delay an alert signal, a time period of the delay associated with a time required for the responder to investigate and a severity of the alert signal; and

cancel the delay when the responder indicates the suspect behavior is not suspicious.

16. The medium of claim 15 wherein the alert signal is at least one of a school dismissal bell and a school passing period bell.

17. The medium of claim 16 further comprising instructions to:

initiate an alternative response when the responder has indicated the suspect behavior is suspicious.

18. The medium of claim 15 wherein the time period for the delay is further based on an alert signal schedule, wherein the time period for the delay is selected such that no additional alert signal is scheduled during the time period for the delay.

19. The medium of claim 15 wherein the alert signal is a fire alarm signal.

20. The medium of claim 19 further comprising instructions to:

initiate an alternative response when the responder has indicated the suspect behavior is suspicious.
