Apparatus and method for smart home monitoring

Abstract

A smart home monitoring apparatus which drives the smart home monitoring apparatus by executing an artificial intelligence (AI) algorithm and/or a machine learning algorithm in a 5G environment connected for Internet of Things. The smart home monitoring apparatus and method according to the exemplary embodiment of the present disclosure includes generating a spatial map of a monitoring area, transmitting a first inaudible sound wave signal to the monitoring area to receive a first inaudible sound wave echo signal, predicting a possibility of abnormal state occurrence of the monitoring area through the first inaudible sound wave echo signal based on the spatial map of the monitoring area, obtaining an image of the monitoring area photographed by the camera when the abnormal state occurrence of the monitoring area is predicted, and determining whether an abnormal state occurs in the monitoring area by analyzing the obtained image.
