Patent ID: 6934397

Claim:
A method for signal separation of mixed signals provided by sensors, the mixed signals resulting from the sensors detecting respective mixed waveforms comprising a plurality of source waveforms originating from waveform generating sources mixed in a mixing environment, the method including the steps of: configuring communication between a processor and a plurality of the sensors in the mixing environment, the configuring being effected dynamically depending upon variations in the number of sensors in the environment, wherein said processor repeatedly checks for the presence of sensors in the mixing environment to effect the configuring communication between said processor and sensors that are detected in the environment; receiving, by said processor, respective said mixed signals from the sensors; determining un-mixing parameters for the environment based on the number of sensors; and applying selectively said un-mixing parameters to at least one of said mixed signals to thereby separate said at least one of said mixed signals and provide at least one output source signal associated with one of the sensors, the output source signal being indicative of an unmixed one of said source waveforms.
