Method of controlling audio recording and electronic device

摘要

A method of controlling audio recording using an electronic device and an electronic device are described. The electronic device comprises a microphone arrangement having a directivity pattern. A target direction relative to the electronic device is automatically determined in response to sensor data representing at least a portion of an area surrounding the electronic device. The microphone arrangement is automatically controlled in response to the determined target direction to adjust an angular orientation of the directivity pattern relative to the electronic device.

1. A method of controlling audio recording using an electronic device, said electronic device comprising a microphone arrangement having a directivity pattern, said method comprising:
capturing sensor data using a sensor different from said microphone arrangement, said captured sensor data representing at least a portion of an area surrounding said electronic device; automatically determining a target direction relative to said electronic device in response to said captured sensor data; determining a visual zoom setting of said electronic device; and automatically controlling said microphone arrangement in response to said determined target direction and in response to said visual zoom setting to adjust an angular orientation of said directivity pattern relative to said electronic device, wherein an aperture angle of a sound capturing lobe of said microphone arrangement defines a width of the sound capturing lobe and is controlled in response to at least said visual zoom setting.
