Abstract:
A speaker system uses destructive wave interference to generate “dead spots” with respect to an audio presentation. The signal for the dead spot generating device can be an inverted signal generated using the audio signal. In one embodiment, the inverted signal is generated using the audio signal, an indication of loudness at one or more active speakers, and a determination of the characteristics of the sound path from the one or more active speakers (including delay and attenuation).

Claim (Index 1):
A method comprising:\n receiving audio information for an audio portion of a presentation to be presented by at least one audio source; buffering the audio information prior to presentation by the at least audio source; generating, based on the buffered audio information, an inverted signal; and generating a sound wave based on the inverted signal coincidentally with presentation of the audio information on the at least one audio source, wherein the generated sound wave at least partially cancels sound emanating from the at least one audio source at a selected location.
