Application: Live peer-to-peer voice communication systems and methods using machine intelligence (Patent ID: US20240211200A1)
The patent filed by Apple Inc. describes a method and system for sensing user attention in a multi-person setting to selectively transmit audio from an audio source to specific listening devices. The technology involves obtaining sensor data from the environment, determining user attention towards the audio source, and adjusting the provision of audio signals based on the user's focus. This includes controlling the transmission of audio signals, adjusting volume, enabling noise cancellation, and providing spatialized rendering of audio based on user attention.
The method also involves detecting changes in user attention, such as when the user shifts focus to a different object in the environment, and adjusting the audio provision accordingly. Various sensors, including image, depth, eye, head, and physiological sensors, are used to determine user attention towards the audio source. The technology aims to enhance the listening experience in multi-person settings by intelligently delivering audio based on user attention cues, ultimately improving the overall audio quality and user experience.
