Abstract
Provided are a method and an apparatus for early warning of danger, the method including acquiring image information of a target object through a first wearable device worn by a user, detecting a physical characteristic of the target object based on the acquired image information, determining a degree of danger that is a degree to which safety of the user is endangered, by using the detected physical characteristic, and providing a warning to the user based on the determined degree of danger of an event.
Claims17
A method for early warning of danger, performed by a wearable device, the method comprising:
- acquiring, by an image sensor of the wearable device, image information of a target object;
- acquiring, by an audio sensor of the wearable device, audio information of a surrounding environment;
- detecting a physical characteristic of the target object based on the acquired image information;
- detecting an audio characteristic of the target object by separating the audio characteristic from a background sound based on the acquired audio information;
- determining a degree of danger that is a degree to which safety of a user is endangered, by using the detected physical characteristic and the audio characteristic;
- and
- providing a warning to the user based on the determined degree of danger.
A computer-program product comprising a non-transitory computer-readable program including instructions, to be executed by one or more processors, for:
- acquiring, by an image sensor, image information of a target object;
- acquiring, by an audio sensor, audio information of a surrounding environment;
- detecting a physical characteristic of the target object based on the acquired image information;
- detecting an audio characteristic of the target object by separating the audio characteristic from a background sound based on the acquired audio information;
- determining a degree of danger that is a degree to which safety of a user is endangered, by using the detected physical characteristic and the audio characteristic;
- and
- providing a warning to the user based on the determined degree of danger.
A wearable device for early warning of danger, the wearable device comprising:
- an image sensor configured to acquire image information of a target object;
- an audio sensor configured to acquire audio information of a surrounding environment;
- a processor configured to detect a physical characteristic of the target object based on the acquired image information, detect an audio characteristic of the target object by separating the audio characteristic from a background sound based on the acquired audio information, and determine a degree of danger that is a degree to which safety of a user is endangered, by using the detected physical characteristic and the audio characteristic;
- and
- a warning unit configured to warn the user based on the determined degree of danger.
