Shift camera focus based on speaker position

A method for controlling an image-capturing device, comprising:

• receiving distance and angular direction information that specifies an audio source position from a microphone array;
• determining, by processing circuitry in the image-capturing device, whether to change an initial focal plane within a field of view based on the audio source position;
• and
• adjusting, by focus adjusting circuitry in the image-capturing device, an optical focus setting to change from the initial focal plane to a subsequent focal plane within the field of view to focus on at least one object-of-interest located at the audio source position, based on the determining.

Logic encoded on one or more tangible media for execution and when executed operable to:

• receive distance and angular direction information that specifies an audio source position from a microphone array;
• determine, using circuitry, whether to change an initial focal plane within a field of view based on the audio source position;
• and
• adjust an optical focus setting to change from the initial focal plane to a subsequent focal plane within the field of view to focus on at least one object-of-interest located at the audio source position, based on the determining.
