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 18):
The speaker system of  claim 9 , wherein creating the set of microphone array filters comprises categorizing the set of received acoustic signals according to at least one of frequency or amplitude, and correlating control instructions for modifying a gain on the microphone array with the categorized set of received acoustic signals.
