Amazon patents home audio system to stop robbery

 


Amazon has patented a system that records home sounds through Echo smart speakers and plays them back to stop thieves.

In a patent application, Amazon explains that the Echo smart speaker in the customer’s home can regularly create a record of their daily lives and store it for future use.

When the camera or smart doorbell detects anomalous activity outside the house when the customer is not at home, echo speakers throughout the house are activated to play sounds that simulate everyday life.

The patent also suggests that a microphone can be used to check the volume outside the house. If the streets are too noisy and the thief can miss the sound being played inside, the echo speaker will automatically turn up the volume.

Amazon’s patent application suggests that the company may want to develop a system for release. However, many large tech companies have applied for thousands of patents and will never release the ones listed in them.

The system described in Amazon’s patent application was designed by Jamie Siminoff, CEO of Smart Doorbell Business Ring, which Amazon acquired in 2018.

It is an extension of an existing Amazon service (called Alexa Guard) designed to stop and detect robbery.

The current system available for Echo speakers listens to suspicious noise, such as glass breaking, and alerts customers to potential intrusions.

When turned on, the Alexa Guard system can also be integrated with your home’s smart lights to automatically turn it on and off to make it look like someone is at home.

A recent Amazon home security patent has revealed that the company has a keen interest in protecting customers’ homes.

In 2018, we applied for a patent to use the footage collected by Smart Doorbell to create a database of suspicious individuals that could be shared among customers.

The database described in the patent can also be extended to include sex offenders and other offenders. Privacy experts warn that the database of suspicious people may be a step too far, and a spokesman for the American Citizens’ Freedom Union calls it an uncertain vision of future surveillance.
