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 22):
The computer-implemented method of  claim 21 , further comprising modifying the direction of the microphone array according to the stored microphone array filter in response to detecting the acoustic signals from the identified at least one noise source.
