Abstract
A device monitors, by using a microphone array, a sound generated by a monitoring target. In response to detecting a sound signal by the microphone array, the device determines a sound source direction corresponding to detected sound signal according to a sound phase difference obtained by each microphone in the microphone array. The device performs infrared detection in the sound source direction by using the infrared transceiver. The device determines a distance between the monitoring target and the infrared transceiver in the sound source direction according to an infrared detection result obtained by the infrared transceiver. The device generates location information of the monitoring target according to the sound source direction and the distance.
