Audio device with ultrasound guided processing, related methods and systems

Abstract

An audio device is disclosed comprising an interface, a memory, one or more processors comprising a signal processor, one or more speakers, one or more microphones, and an ultrasound device. The audio device is configured to output an output ultrasound signal via the ultrasound device; obtain an input ultrasound signal via the ultrasound device; obtain an audio input signal via the one or more microphones; determine, based on the audio input signal, a direction of arrival of the audio input signal; determine, based on the input ultrasound signal and the output ultrasound signal, position data including first position data indicative of a first position of a first moving object; determine whether the direction of arrival satisfies a position criterion based on the first position data; process the audio input signal based on whether the direction of arrival satisfies the position criterion for provision of an audio output signal.
