Abstract
Some disclosed systems may include a microphone system having two or more microphones, an interface system and a control system. In some examples, the control system may be capable of receiving, via the interface system, audio data from two or more microphones of the microphone system, of determining a gesture location based, at least in part, on the audio data and of controlling one or more settings of the system based on the gesture location.
Claims30
A system, comprising:
- a microphone system comprising two or more microphones;
- an interface system;
- and
- a control system capable of:
- receiving, via the interface system, first audio data, originating from a gesture performed on a user, from a first microphone of the two or more microphones of the microphone system;
- receiving, via the interface system, second audio data, originating from the gesture, from a second microphone of the two or more microphones of the microphone system;
- determining a location of the gesture based, at least in part, on the first audio data and the second audio data, wherein the location corresponds to one of a plurality of locations on a user;
- and
- controlling one or more settings of the system based on the gesture location.
A system, comprising:
- a microphone system comprising two or more microphones;
- and
- control means configured for communication with the microphone system, the control means including means for:
- receiving first audio data, originating from a gesture performed on a user, from a first microphone of the two or more microphones of the microphone system;
- receiving second audio data, originating from the gesture, from a second microphone of the two of more microphones of the microphone system;
- determining a location of the gesture based, at least in part, on the first audio data and the second audio data, wherein the location corresponds to a location from a plurality of locations on a user;
- and
- controlling one or more settings of the system based on the gesture location.
A non-transitory medium having software stored thereon, the software including instructions to control one or more devices of a system for:
- receiving first audio data, originating from a gesture performed on a user, from a first microphone of the two or more microphones;
- receiving second audio data, originating from the gesture, from a second microphone of the two or more microphones;
- determining a location of the gesture based, at least in part, on the first audio data and the second audio data, wherein the location corresponds to a location from a plurality of locations on a user;
- and
- controlling one or more settings of the system based on the gesture location.
A method of controlling one or more devices of a system that includes two or more microphones, the method comprising:
- receiving first audio data, originating from a gesture performed on a user, from a first microphone of the two or more microphones;
- receiving second audio data, originating from the gesture, from the second microphone of the two or more microphones;
- determining a location of the gesture based, at least in part, on the first audio data and the second audio data, wherein the location corresponds to a location from a plurality of locations on a user;
- and
- controlling one or more settings of the system based on the gesture location.
