Abstract
An acoustic detector comprises an acoustic sensor for receiving an acoustic signal. The acoustic signal selectively comprises a test sound with an encoded pattern indicative of the select mode. A controller is operatively associated with the acoustic sensor for analyzing the received acoustic signal to determine if the encoded pattern is present, changing a mode of operation if the encoded pattern is present, and selectively adjusting the operation of the acoustic detector based upon the received acoustic signal if mode is changed.
Claims18
A method of automatically activating a select mode of an acoustic detector comprising:
- receiving an acoustic signal from a remote device, the acoustic signal comprising a test sound with an encoded pattern indicative of the select mode;
- analyzing the received acoustic signal to determine if the encoded pattern is present;
- changing a mode of operation if the encoded pattern is present;
- and
- selectively adjusting the operation of the acoustic detector based upon the received acoustic signal if mode is changed.
