Abstract
A presence of a person at a first location within the building is detected using a sensor. Whether the presence of the person at the first location is acceptable is determined in response to detecting the presence of the person at the first location. Then, in response to determining that the presence of the person at the first location is unacceptable, an output device is triggered to output an electronic lure signal to lure the person to a second location that is distant from the first location. The electronic lure signal is based on a category of the person.
Claims18
A non-transitory computer-readable medium with instructions stored thereon, the instructions executable by a processor to:
- reference a sensor signal to detect a presence of a person at a first location;
- determine whether the presence of the person at the first location is acceptable in response to a detection of the presence of the person at the first location;
- in response to a determination that the presence of the person at the first location is unacceptable, trigger an output device to output an electronic lure signal to lure the person to a second location that is distant from the first location, wherein the electronic lure signal is selected based on a determined category of the person identifying the person as an offender;
- and
- trigger a physical access mechanism at the second location to prevent egress of the person from the second location.
A system comprising:
- a plurality of sensors distributed throughout a building;
- a plurality of output devices distributed throughout the building;
- and
- a processor connected to the plurality of sensors and the plurality of output devices, the processor configured to detect a person at a first location in the building using at least one sensor of the plurality of sensors, to determine whether the person is authorized to be at the first location, and output an electronic lure signal via at least one output device of the plurality of output devices to lure the person to a second location away from the first location in response to determining that the person is not authorized to be at the first location, wherein the electronic lure signal is based on a category of the person identifying the person as an offender;
- wherein the at least one output device comprises a speaker, and wherein the processor is further configured to identify as the second location a trappable location in the building based on a sound path from the speaker to the first location, and wherein the processor is to provide the electronic lure signal as representative of an audible stimulus configured to lure the person towards the trappable location.
A method to provide security to a building, the method comprising:
- detecting a presence of a person at a first location within the building using a sensor;
- determining whether the presence of the person at the first location is acceptable in response to detecting the presence of the person at the first location;
- in response to determining that the presence of the person at the first location is unacceptable, triggering an output device to output an electronic lure signal to lure the person to a second location that is distant from the first location, wherein the electronic lure signal is based on a category of the person identifying the person as an offender;
- and
- triggering a physical access mechanism at the second location to prevent egress of the person from the second location.
