Abstract:
A method, a system, and a computer program product for detecting an audio trigger phrase at a particular audio input channel and initiating a voice recognition session. The method includes capturing audio content by a plurality of microphone pairs of an audio capturing device, wherein each microphone pair of the plurality of microphone pairs is associated with an audio input channel of a plurality of audio input channels of the audio capturing device. The method further includes simultaneously monitoring, by a processor of the audio capturing device, audio content on each of the audio input channels. The method further includes: independently detecting, by the processor, an audio trigger phrase on at least one audio input channel of the plurality of audio input channels; and in response to detecting the audio trigger phrase, commencing a voice recognition session using the at least one audio input channel as an audio source.

Claim (Index 15):
The audio capturing device of  claim 13 , wherein the at least one processor:\n collectively processes, for each microphone pair of the plurality of microphone pairs, audio content captured by the first microphone and the second microphone to create a plurality of virtual microphones comprising:\n a first virtual microphone that is aligned along an axis and which provides spatial sensitivity for audio originating within a first gradient field in a first direction; and \n a second virtual microphone that is aligned along the second axis and which provides spatial sensitivity for audio originating within a second gradient field in a second direction that is opposite the first direction.
