Abstract
The patent’s assignee for patent number 11937057 is Hewlett-Packard Development Company L.P.(Spring, Texas, United States).News editors obtained the following quote from the background information suppli ed by the inventors:“In videoconferences, it is desirable to focus the camera o n a speaker, rather than maintain a full roomview. To aid in such focusing, sou nd source localization (SSL) is used to provide a direction or anglein which to focus the camera to capture the speaker. Various methods may be used to determi ne SSLangles. However, conference room acoustics, such as echoes, and the dista nce between the speaker andthe microphone array can result in jitter in the det ermined SSL angles. Such jitter makes framing thespeaker more challenging.”
