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 8):
The computer-implemented method of  claim 1 , further comprising:\n prompting a user for a voice feedback input about the acoustic map; receiving the voice feedback input from the user at the microphone array; and updating the acoustic map of the physical environment based upon the received voice feedback input.
