Abstract:
A method includes receiving sound by a first audio unit installed in an electrical outlet, routing audio data corresponding to the received sound from the first audio unit to a second audio unit installed in a second electrical outlet, and sending the audio data to a mobile device using a wireless link between the mobile device and the second audio unit. Routing the audio data may include receiving the audio data from the first audio unit by a third audio unit and routing the audio data to the second audio unit by the third audio unit serving as a router. The data may be routed using table driven routing, on-demand routing or some other appropriate routing protocol. The method may also include performing voice recognition on the audio data and detecting a command word and routing command word data to the second audio unit.

Claim (Index 1):
A method implemented by one or more processors, the method comprising:\n receiving, over one or more networks, first audio data that is transmitted from a first audio unit and that captures a voice command from a user; receiving, over one or more of the networks, second audio data that is transmitted from a second audio unit and that captures the voice command from the user; selecting one of the first audio unit and the second audio unit as currently being in closest proximity to the user, wherein selecting the one of the first audio unit and the second audio unit is based at least in part on comparison of:\n one or more first features determined based on the first audio data, and \n one or more second features determined based on the second audio data; and \n sending, to only the selected one of the first audio unit and the second audio unit, output that is responsive to the voice command,\n wherein the sending is over one or more of the networks, and \n wherein sending the output causes the selected one of the first audio unit and the second audio unit to render the output to the user.
