Abstract:
A localized sound projection system can coordinate the sounds of speakers to simulate the placement of an auditory cue in a 3D space. The system can include a plurality of speakers configured to output auditory signals and a sound localization controller configured to control the plurality of speakers to coordinate the auditory signals to simulate an origination location of a patient alarm. The sound localization controller can determine adjusted auditory signals and control a plurality of speakers to output the plurality of adjusted auditory signals. A method for dynamically controlling speaker settings in a medical environment can include determining volume settings corresponding to a speaker, monitoring a level of ambient noise corresponding to a room of a patient, controlling the volume settings of the speaker to reduce or increase a sound level output of a speaker. A patient monitoring system can be configured to physically manipulate medical devices in response to audible commands. The system can receive a plurality of vocal commands from a user and can manipulate various settings after confirmation from a user.

Claim (Index 4):
A system for providing localized projection of audible noises, the system comprising:\n a plurality of speakers configured to output auditory signals; and a sound localization controller configured to control the plurality of speakers to coordinate the auditory signals to simulate an origination location of a patient indicator, wherein the sound localization controller comprises a processor configured to:\n receive an indication of an activation of the patient indicator, \n determine the origination location of the patient indicator based at least in part on the indication of the activation of the patient indicator, \n based at least in part on the origination location, identify sound parameters for each of the plurality of speakers, wherein the sound parameters corresponds to at least one of a timing, intensity, or frequency of a sound signal, \n determine adjusted auditory signals based at least in part on the identified sound parameters, \n control the plurality of speakers to output the plurality of adjusted auditory signals.
