Abstract:
An apparatus and method for real-time audio processing employs a gaze detection sensor to detect a direction of a user's gaze and output a gaze signal corresponding to the detected direction of the user's gaze. A digital signal processing unit responds to a plurality of signals corresponding to a plurality of sounds received at the apparatus, and the determined direction of gaze to identify a signal of interest from the plurality of signals using the gaze signal. The signal of interest is processed for output to the user. In embodiments, a microphone array provides the plurality of signals. An imaging sensor may work with either the microphone array or the gaze detection sensor to identify the signal of interest.

Claim (Index 14):
The method of  claim 13 , further comprising determining that a person is speaking in a direction of the user based on one or more of the gaze signal and the one or more sounds, wherein the first action is selected based at least in part on a determination that the person is speaking in the direction of the user.
