SYSTEMS AND METHODS FOR LOCALIZING AUDIO STREAMS VIA ACOUSTIC LARGE SCALE SPEAKER ARRAYS

摘要

System comprising a processing unit configured to compute transmit signals and an array of speakers in wired or wireless communication with the processing unit, each of the speakers of the array at different locations in a common setting. The speakers, upon receiving the transmit signals, simultaneously transmit both a first audio and a different second audio stream into the setting from the speakers. The first stream from the speakers aggregate in the vicinity of a first location in the setting to form an aggregated first stream that is audible to human hearing. The second stream transmitted from the speakers do not aggregate at the first location. The second stream from the speakers aggregate in the vicinity of a different second location in the setting to form an aggregated second stream that is audible to human hearing. The first stream transmitted from the speakers do not aggregate at the second location.

1. A system, comprising:
a processing unit configured to compute transmit signals; and an array of speakers in wired or wireless communication with the processing unit, each of the speakers of the array installed at different locations in a common setting, wherein:
each of the speakers of the array, upon receiving the transmit signals, simultaneously transmit both a first audio stream and a different second audio stream into the setting from the speakers;the first audio stream transmitted from the speakers aggregate in the vicinity of a first location in the setting to form an aggregated first audio stream that is audible to human hearing, and, the second audio stream transmitted from the speakers do not aggregate at the first location; andthe second audio stream transmitted from the speakers aggregate in the vicinity of a different second location in the setting to form an aggregated second audio stream that is audible to human hearing, and, the first audio stream transmitted from the speakers do not aggregate at the second location.
