ESTABLISHING AUDIO CONNECTIONS BETWEEN USERS BEING CONTINUOUSLY TRACKED BY COLLABORATIVE SENSORS

摘要

Audio sensors collaborate for geo-location and tracking of multiple users. Different users can be independently geo-located and tracked within the AI environment. Location is determined from two or more AI clients of known locations that detect an event such as a human voice command to connect a call with a specific user. Responsive to classification of the event in view of the estimated location, a command for an AI action, such as connecting a call between users, is received for a response to the event at the AI clients that detected the event, or others.

主权项

1. A computer-implemented method in an AI server of an artificial intelligence (AI) system, coupled to a plurality of AI clients, for establishing an audio connection between users within audio proximity of the plurality of AI clients, the method comprising the steps of:
storing location information for each of the plurality of AI clients, each of the AI clients comprising an audio sensor, a network controller, and a feedback mechanism within a common enclosure, and the plurality of AI clients being geographically-dispersed; detecting audio event data from a first user at a first location that is received by at least a first AI client of the plurality of AI clients; determining that audio event data comprises a request for audio connection with a second user; responsive to the determination, estimating a location of a second user based on audio event data received by at least a second AI client of the plurality of AI clients, wherein the second AI client concerning the second user is different from the first AI clients concerning the first user; and establishing an audio connection between the first and second users by connecting a first microphone of the first AI client to a second speaker of the second AI client and a second microphone of the second AI client to a first speaker of the first AI client.
