Abstract

A device, system and method for crowd control is provided. An aural command is detected at a location using a microphone at the location. A computing device determines, based on video data received from one or more multimedia devices, whether one or more persons at the location are not following the aural command. The computing device modifies the aural command to generate a second version of the aural command based on one or more of the video data and multimedia data associated with the location. The computing device causes the second version of the aural command to be provided, to the one or more persons who are not following the aural command at the location, using one or more notification devices.

Claims (30)

1. A method comprising:

detecting, at one or more computing devices, that an aural command has been detected at a location using a microphone at the location, the aural command issued by a person at the location;

determining, at the one or more computing devices, based on video data received from one or more multimedia devices whether one or more persons at the location are not following the aural command;

modifying the aural command, at the one or more computing devices, to generate a second version of the aural command based on one or more of the video data and multimedia data associated with the location; and

causing, at the one or more computing devices, the second version of the aural command to be provided, to the one or more persons who are not following the aural command at the location using one or more notification devices.

2. The method of claim 1 , wherein the second version of the aural command comprises one or more of: a second aural command provided at a speaker notification device; and a visual command provided at a visual notification device.

3. The method of claim 1 , wherein the second version of the aural command comprises a simplified version of the aural command.

4. The method of claim 1 , wherein the second version of the aural command includes an instruction that references to a geographic landmark at the location.

5. The method of claim 1 , wherein the second version of the aural command includes an instruction that references a given person at the location.

6. The method of claim 1 , wherein the determining whether the one or more persons at the location are not following the aural command occurs using one or more of: the video data; and video analytics on the video data.

7. The method of claim 1 , wherein the determining whether the one or more persons at the location are not following the aural command occurs by comparing the multimedia data to pattern data indicative of patterns that correspond to the aural command.

8. The method of claim 1 , wherein the causing the second version of the aural command to be provided to the one or more persons who are not following the aural command at the location using the one or more notification devices comprises:

providing the second version of the aural command to a communication device of the person that issued the aural command.

9. The method of claim 1 , wherein the causing the second version of the aural command to be provided to the one or more persons who are not following the aural command at the location using the one or more notification devices comprises: identifying one or more communication devices associated with the one or more persons that are not following the aural command at the location; and transmitting the second version of the aural command to the one or more communication devices.

10. The method of claim 1 , wherein the causing the second version of the aural command to be provided to the one or more persons who are not following the aural command at the location using the one or more notification devices comprises: communicating with a system that identifies one or more communication devices associated with the one or more persons who are not following the aural command at the location; and transmitting the second version of the aural command to the one or more communication devices.

11. A computing device comprising:

a controller and a communication interface, the controller configured to:

detect that an aural command has been detected at a location using a microphone at the location, the aural command issued by a person at the location, the communication interface configured to communicate with the microphone;

determine, based on video data received from one or more multimedia devices, whether one or more persons at the location are not following the aural command, the communication interface further configured to communicate with the one or more multimedia devices;

modify the aural command to generate a second version of the aural command based on one or more of the video data and multimedia data associated with the location; and

cause the second version of the aural command to be provided, to the one or more persons who are not following the aural command at the location using one or more notification devices, the communication interface further configured to communicate with the one or more multimedia devices.

12. The computing device of claim 11 , wherein the second version of the aural command comprises one or more of: a second aural command provided at a speaker notification device; and a visual command provided at a visual notification device.

13. The computing device of claim 11 , wherein the second version of the aural command comprises a simplified version of the aural command.

14. The computing device of claim 11 , wherein the second version of the aural command includes an instruction that references to a geographic landmark at the location.

15. The computing device of claim 11 , wherein the second version of the aural command includes an instruction that references a given person at the location.

16. The computing device of claim 11 , wherein the controller is further configured to determine whether the one or more persons at the location are not following the aural command using one or more of: the video data; and video analytics on the video data.

17. The computing device of claim 11 , wherein the controller is further configured to whether the one or more persons at the location are not following the aural command by comparing the multimedia data to pattern data indicative of patterns that correspond to the aural command.

18. The computing device of claim 11 , wherein the controller is further configured to cause the second version of the aural command to be provided to the one or more persons who are not following the aural command at the location using the one or more notification devices by: providing the second version of the aural command to a communication device of the person that issued the aural command.

19. The computing device of claim 11 , wherein the controller is further configured to cause the second version of the aural command to be provided to the one or more persons who are not following the aural command at the location using the one or more notification devices by: identifying one or more communication devices associated with the one or more persons that are not following the aural command at the location; and transmitting the second version of the aural command to the one or more communication devices.

20. The computing device of claim 11 , wherein the controller is further configured to cause the second version of the aural command to be provided to the one or more persons who are not following the aural command at the location using the one or more notification devices by: communicating with a system that identifies one or more communication devices associated with the one or more persons who are not following the aural command at the location; and transmitting the second version of the aural command to the one or more communication devices.
