Abstract:
A method of processing a series of microphone inputs of an audio conference, the method including the steps of: (a) conducting a spatial analysis and feature extraction of the audio conference based on current audio activity; (b) aggregating historical information to obtain information about the approximate relative location of recent sound objects relative to the series of microphone inputs; (c) utilising the relative location or distance of the sound objects from the series of microphone inputs to determine if beam forming should be utilised to enhance the audio reception from recent sound objects.

Claim (Index 10):
An apparatus as claimed in  claim 9 , wherein aggregating the information about the approximate relative location of currently active sound objects relative to the array of microphones over time includes aggregating approximate locations of currently active sound objects over time and determining clusters of locations among the aggregated approximate locations.
