Abstract
Methods and apparatuses for addressing open space noise are disclosed. In one example, a method for masking open space noise includes receiving a plurality of mobile device microphone data from a plurality of mobile devices. A location data associated with each mobile device in the plurality of mobile devices is received. A plurality of stationary microphone data is received from a plurality of stationary microphones. A sound masking noise output is adjusted at one or more loudspeakers responsive to the plurality of mobile device microphone data and the plurality of stationary microphone data.
Claims26
A method comprising:
- receiving a plurality of mobile device microphone data from a plurality of mobile device microphones at a plurality of mobile devices;
- receiving a plurality of location data, comprising receiving a location data associated with each mobile device in the plurality of mobile devices;
- receiving a plurality of stationary microphone data from a plurality of stationary microphones;
- and
- adjusting a sound masking noise output at one or more loudspeakers responsive to the plurality of mobile device microphone data and the plurality of stationary microphone data.
A method comprising:
- receiving a mobile microphone data from a mobile device;
- receiving a location data associated with the mobile device;
- receiving a stationary microphone data from a stationary microphone;
- correlating the mobile device to the stationary microphone utilizing the location data;
- and
- adjusting a sound masking noise output at a loudspeaker responsive to the mobile microphone data and the stationary microphone data received from a correlated mobile microphone and stationary microphone.
A system comprising:
- a mobile device comprising a mobile device microphone;
- a plurality of stationary loudspeakers;
- a plurality of stationary microphones;
- and
- one or more computing devices comprising:
- one or more processors;
- one or more memories storing one or more application programs executable by the one or more processors, the one or more application programs comprising instructions to receive a mobile device microphone data from the mobile device and receive a stationary microphone data from the plurality of stationary microphones, and adjust a sound masking volume level output at one or more of the plurality of stationary loudspeakers.
