Abstract
A method is performed in an electronic device for orienting an audio beam generated by the device. The method includes: detecting that the device is coupled to a docking station; and determining a geographic location of the device. The method further includes determining, based on the geographic location of the device, an orientation for an audio beam relative from the docking station; and generating the audio beam by the device.
Claims21
A method for orienting an audio beam generated by a device, the method comprising:
- detecting that the device is coupled to a docking station;
- determining a geographic location of the device;
- determining, based on the geographic location of the device, an orientation for an audio beam relative from the docking station;
- generating the audio beam by the device.
1 more element
A device configured for audio beam orientation adjustment, the device comprising:
- a docking interface configured to detect coupling of the device to a docking station;
- a beamformer configured to generate an audio beam;
- a processor coupled to the docking interface and the beamformer and configured to determine, based on a geographic location of the device, an orientation for the audio beam relative from the docking station.
