Abstract
Described herein is an ultrasound-based virus shield. The ultrasound-based virus shield may include an ultrasound sonar emitter configured to emit a first sonar signal including a header with key data, and an ultrasound sonar receiver configured to receive a second sonar signal. The ultrasound-based virus shield may include a processor configured to: calculate a distance between the ultrasound-based virus shield and a subject in response to determining that the second sonar signal includes the key data associated with the first sonar signal, and activate an ultrasound sterilizing emitter in response to determining that the distance calculated is less than a threshold distance. An ultrasound sterilizing emitter of the ultrasound-based virus shield may be configured to emit a sterilizing signal.
