System for simulating the presence of a person in a room

A system (1) for simulating the presence of a person in a room, which system (1) comprises the following means, namely:

• first playback means (11) for playing back sound and/or image information and activation signal generation means (52) for repeatedly generating an activation signal (AS), and
• activation means (53) for automatically repeatedly activating the first playback means (11) as a function of the occurrence of the activation signal (AS), following which activation of the first playback means (11) sound and/or image information can be transmitted, by means of which transmittable sound and/or image information the presence of a person in a room can be simulated, and
• standby means (18) for activating/deactivating a standby mode of operation of at least the first playback means (11), and
• switching means (51) for switching at least the first playback means (11) of the system (1) between a simulation mode of operation and an entertainment mode of operation, in which simulation mode of operation it is possible to simulate the presence of a person in a room and in which entertainment mode of operation it is possible for a user to switch at least the first playback means (11) between the standby mode of operation and the entertainment mode of operation.
