Abstract: An audio customization system operates to enhance a user's audio environment. A user may wear headphones and specify what portion the ambient audio and/or source audio will be transmitted to the headphones or the personal speaker system. The audio signal may be enhanced by application of a spatialized transformation using a spatialization engine such as head-related transfer functions so that at least a portion of the audio presented to the personal speaker system will appear to originate from a particular direction. The direction may be modified in response to movement of the personal speaker system.

Abstract: A multi-directional sensor may include a microphone array of three or more microphones mounted on outerwear. The microphone array may be positioned and configured so that its far field azimuth sensing range is unobstructed by the outerwear. An accelerometer may be provided and mounted in a location which is fixed with respect to the microphones of the microphone array. A beacon, such as an ultrasonic transmitter or BLE (Bluetooth Low Energy) transmitter may be associated with or attached to the outerwear. The microphone array may be utilized with a beam-forming system in order to determine location of an audio source and a beam-steering system in order to isolate audio emanating from the direction of the audio source. The beam-forming system is suitable for tracking the movement of the audio source in order to inform the beam-steering system of the direction or location to be isolated. Because the microphone array will move with a user, a motion sensor may be provided to reduce the computational resources required for tracking and isolation by allowing compensation for change in position and orientation of the user. The beacon will facilitate location of the wearer.

Abstract: An audio source location, tracking and isolation system, particularly suited for use with person-mounted microphone arrays. The system increases capabilities by reducing resources required for certain functions so those resources can be utilized for result enhancing processes. A wide area scan may be utilized to identify the general vicinity of an audio source and a narrow scan to locate pinpoint positions may be initiated in the general vicinity identified by the wide area scan. Subsequent locations may be anticipated by compensating for motion of the sensor array and anticipated changes in source location by trajectory. Identification may use two or more sets of characterizations and rules. The characterizations may use computationally less intense analyses to characterize audio and only perform computationally higher intensity analysis if needed. Rule sets may be used to eliminate the need to track audio sources that emit audio to be eliminated from an audio output.
