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 20):
The speaker system of  claim 9 , wherein the library of microphone array filters comprises a relational database comprising relationships between the microphone array filter and the acoustic signals from the identified at least one noise source, wherein the control system is configured to apply the microphone array filter while receiving the voice command input at the microphone array, wherein applying the microphone array filter comprises:\n receiving an acoustic noise signal at the microphone array; comparing the acoustic noise signal with the acoustic signals from the identified at least one noise source in the library of microphone array filters; and modifying a gain on the microphone array in response to the acoustic noise signal matching the acoustic signals from the identified at least one noise source.
