Abstract

A wireless device is provided that makes use of other nearby audio transducer devices to generate a surround sound effect for a targeted user. To do this, the wireless device first ascertains whether there are any nearby external microphones and / or loudspeaker devices. An internal microphone for the wireless device and any other nearby external microphones may be used to ascertain a location of the desired / targeted user as well as the nearby loudspeaker devices. This information is then used to generate a surround sound effect for the desired / targeted user by having the wireless device steer audio signals to its internal loudspeakers and / or the nearby external loudspeaker devices.

Description

[0001] Claim of priority under 35 U.S.C. §119 [0002] This patent application claims the title of "Automated User Location Recognition To Enhanced Audio Performance In A Multi-Speaker Environment" filed on December 12 and 19, 2011 Priority is given to U.S. Provisional Application No. 61 / 577,483, assigned to the present assignee and expressly incorporated herein by reference. technical field [0003] One feature generally involves wireless devices, multi-microphone and multi-speaker audio systems.
