AUTO FOCUS, AUTO FOCUS WITHIN REGIONS, AND AUTO PLACEMENT OF BEAMFORMED MICROPHONE LOBES WITH INHIBITION FUNCTIONALITY - A simplified explanation of the abstract

This abstract first appeared for US patent application 20240244367 titled 'AUTO FOCUS, AUTO FOCUS WITHIN REGIONS, AND AUTO PLACEMENT OF BEAMFORMED MICROPHONE LOBES WITH INHIBITION FUNCTIONALITY

Simplified Explanation: The patent application describes array microphone systems and methods that can automatically focus and/or place beamformed lobes in response to detected sound activity. The system can inhibit the automatic focus and/or placement of the beamformed lobes based on a remote far-end audio signal to improve the coverage of audio sources in an environment.

  • Array microphone systems with automatic focus and placement of beamformed lobes
  • Ability to inhibit automatic focus and placement based on a remote far-end audio signal
  • Improved coverage of audio sources in an environment
  • Ensuring optimal pickup of audio sources even if they have moved or changed locations

Potential Applications: This technology can be used in conference rooms, lecture halls, and other large spaces where multiple audio sources need to be captured effectively. It can also be applied in video conferencing systems to enhance audio quality during remote meetings.

Problems Solved: - Ensuring optimal pickup of audio sources in dynamic environments - Improving the overall audio quality in large spaces with multiple sound sources - Enhancing the user experience in remote communication systems

Benefits: - Automatic adjustment of beamformed lobes for better audio coverage - Improved audio quality in various environments - Enhanced user experience in remote communication settings

Commercial Applications: Title: Automatic Beamforming Array Microphone Systems for Enhanced Audio Capture This technology can be commercialized in the audio conferencing industry, video conferencing solutions, smart home devices, and public address systems. It can improve the audio quality and user experience in a wide range of applications, leading to increased customer satisfaction and market competitiveness.

Questions about Beamforming Array Microphone Systems: 1. How does the automatic focus and placement of beamformed lobes improve audio capture in dynamic environments? 2. What are the potential commercial applications of this technology in the audio industry?


Original Abstract Submitted

array microphone systems and methods that can automatically focus and/or place beamformed lobes in response to detected sound activity are provided. the automatic focus and/or placement of the beamformed lobes can be inhibited based on a remote far end audio signal. the quality of the coverage of audio sources in an environment may be improved by ensuring that beamformed lobes are optimally picking up the audio sources even if they have moved and changed locations.
