Abstract
Embodiments for implementing intelligent alarm sound control by a processor. A targeted entity may be isolated for a generated sound to be delivered, while noise cancellation is simultaneously provided to prevent an alternative entity from being disturbed by the isolated sound.
Claims17
A method for implementing intelligent alarm sound control by a processor, comprising:
- isolating a targeted entity for a generated sound to be delivered, while simultaneously providing noise cancellation to prevent an alternative entity from being disturbed by the generated sound;
- wherein the generated sound is activated and isolated within a cone of silence for a selected period of time, and the alternative entity located outside the cone of silence is shielded from the generated sound by initiating the noise cancellation for a duration beginning prior to the selected period of time until the target entity performs a certain action.
A system for implementing intelligent alarm sound control, comprising:
- one or more computing components associated with the intelligent alarm sound control with executable instructions that when executed cause the system to:
- isolate a targeted entity for a generated sound to be delivered, while simultaneously provide noise cancellation to prevent an alternative entity from being disturbed by the generated sound;
- wherein the generated sound is activated and isolated within a cone of silence for a selected period of time, and the alternative entity located outside the cone of silence is shielded from the generated sound by initiating the noise cancellation for a duration beginning prior to the selected period of time until the target entity performs a certain action.
A computer program product for implementing intelligent alarm sound control by one or more processors, the computer program product comprising a non-transitory computer-readable storage medium having computer-readable program code portions stored therein, the computer-readable program code portions comprising:
- an executable portion that isolates a targeted entity for a generated sound to be delivered, while simultaneously provide noise cancellation to prevent an alternative entity from being disturbed by the generated sound;
- wherein the generated sound is activated and isolated within a cone of silence for a selected period of time, and the alternative entity located outside the cone of silence is shielded from the generated sound by initiating the noise cancellation for a duration beginning prior to the selected period of time until the target entity performs a certain action.
