Abstract
The present invention relates to systems and methods for operating a microphone mesh network. In one embodiment, a method includes connecting, via a device comprising a processor, to one or more active microphones in an area via a network; instructing, via the device, one or more selected microphones of the one or more active microphones to capture audio from an acoustic source; and receiving, via the device, the audio from the one or more selected microphones as input to one or more applications.
Claims20
A computer-implemented method, comprising:
- connecting, via a device comprising a processor, to one or more active microphones in an area via a network;
- instructing, via the device, one or more selected microphones of the one or more active microphones to capture audio from an acoustic source;
- and
- receiving, via the device, the audio from the one or more selected microphones as input to one or more applications.
A device, comprising:
- one or more processors;
- a transceiver operatively coupled to the one or more processors;
- and
- a memory operatively coupled to the one or more processors, the memory having stored thereon computer executable instructions which, when executed by the one or more processors, cause the one or more processors to:
- connect to one or more active microphones in an area via the transceiver over a network;
- identify an acoustic source in the area;
- instruct one or more selected microphones of the one or more active microphones to capture audio from the acoustic source;
- and
- receive, via the transceiver, the audio from the one or more selected microphones as input to one or more applications.
A computer program product for managing a microphone mesh network, the computer program product comprising a non-transitory computer readable storage medium having stored thereon program instructions, wherein the program instructions are executable by a processor to cause the processor to:
- connect to one or more active microphones in an area via the microphone mesh network;
- identify an acoustic source in the area;
- instruct one or more selected microphones of the one or more active microphones to capture audio from the acoustic source;
- and
- receive the audio from the one or more selected microphones as input to one or more applications.
