Invisible Acoustic Safe

A deterrent system for protecting physical space by providing an appropriate level of emotional or affective response, and/or autonomic activation of deterrent response to an intruder and then applies the appropriate level of emotional or affective response, and/or autonomic activation of countermeasure deterrents, comprising:

• a sensor or sensors to monitor a physical space;
• access rules to determine what is the area to be protected and how to respond with countermeasures;
• algorithms that make decisions based on sensor data and rules;
• an electronic processor(s) to execute the algorithms;
• one or more acoustical countermeasures to deter intruders;
• data storage devices to store data locally or remotely;
• and
• wireless or wired communication links between the sensors, processors, countermeasures, data storage, and other deterrent systems;
• wherein the deterrent system is configured to define Protected Space and Buffer Zones based on the initial setup of the system and access rules defined by the user or automatic algorithms,
• wherein the rules provide instructions for how to monitor and respond to events within or targets entering the Protected Space and Buffer Zones,
• wherein the deterrent system, upon determining the Protected Space or Buffer Zone rules are breached, is configured to process sensor data using the rules to make a determination on what acoustical countermeasure to use and at what intensity level based on current events and desired target behavior modifications.
