Abstract

See full text

Systems and methods can be implemented to include a speaker system with microphone room calibration in a variety of applications. The speaker system can be implemented as a smart speaker. The speaker system can include a microphone array having multiple microphones, one or more optical sensors, one or more processors, and a storage device comprising instructions. The one or more optical sensors can be used to determine distances of one or more surfaces to the speaker system. Based on the determined distances, an algorithm to manage beamforming of an incoming voice signal to the speaker system can be adjusted or selected one or more microphones of the microphone array can be turned off, with an adjustment of an evaluation of the voice signal to the microphone array to account for the one or more microphones turned off. Additional systems and methods are disclosed.
