Abstract:
Various aspects include approaches for intelligent acoustic beam steering. In some implementations, a method of controlling a microphone array in a speaker system is disclosed. In other implementations, a speaker system is disclosed. In particular aspects, a computer-implemented method of controlling a microphone array includes: generating an acoustic map including an acoustic description of a physical environment proximate the speaker system; and focusing the microphone array in a direction based upon the acoustic map prior to receiving a voice command input at the microphone array.

Claim (Index 13):
The speaker system of  claim 9 , wherein the speaker system comprises a portable speaker system, and wherein the control system is further configured to:\n detect movement of the speaker system from a first physical location to a second physical location; generate an updated acoustic map comprising an acoustic description of a physical environment proximate the speaker system at the second physical location; and focus the microphone array in an updated direction based upon the updated acoustic map prior to receiving a subsequent voice command input at the microphone array, wherein the microphone array remains focused in the direction based upon the acoustic map while the updated acoustic map is being generated.
