Abstract

A method for displaying a user interface on an electronic device is described. The method includes presenting a user interface. The user interface includes a coordinate system. The coordinate system corresponds to physical coordinates based on sensor data. The method also includes displaying at least a target audio signal and an interfering audio signal on the user interface.

Claims (45)

1 . A method for displaying a user interface on an electronic device, comprising:

presenting a user interface, wherein the user interface comprises a coordinate system, wherein the coordinate system corresponds to physical coordinates based on sensor data; and

displaying at least a target audio signal and an interfering audio signal on the user interface.

2 . The method of claim 1 , further comprising displaying a directionality of at least one of the target audio signal and the interfering audio signal captured by at least one microphone.

3 . The method of claim 2 , wherein the target audio signal comprises a voice signal.

4 . The method of claim 2 , further comprising displaying at least one icon corresponding to at least one of the target audio signal and the interfering audio signal.

5 . The method of claim 1 , further comprising passing the target audio signal.

6 . The method of claim 1 , further comprising attenuating the interfering audio signal.

7 . The method of claim 1 , further comprising aligning at least a part of the user interface with a reference plane.

8 . The method of claim 7 , wherein the reference plane is horizontal.

9 . The method of claim 7 , wherein aligning at least a part of the user interface comprises mapping a two-dimensional polar plot into a three-dimensional display space.

10 . The method of claim 1 , wherein the physical coordinates are earth coordinates.

11 . The method of claim 1 , wherein the coordinate system maintains an orientation independent of electronic device orientation.

12 . The method of claim 1 , further comprising:

recognizing an audio signature;

looking up the audio signature in a database;

obtaining identification information corresponding to the audio signature; and

displaying the identification information on the user interface.

13 . The method of claim 12 , wherein the identification information is an image of a person corresponding to the audio signature.

14 . An electronic device, comprising:

a display, wherein the display presents a user interface, wherein the user interface comprises a coordinate system, wherein the coordinate system corresponds to physical coordinates based on sensor data; and the display displays at least a target audio signal and an interfering audio signal on the user interface.

15 . The electronic device of claim 14 , wherein the display displays a directionality of at least one of the target audio signal and the interfering audio signal captured by at least one microphone.

16 . The electronic device of claim 15 , wherein the target audio signal comprises a voice signal.

17 . The electronic device of claim 15 , wherein the display displays at least one icon corresponding to at least one of the target audio signal and the interfering audio signal.

18 . The electronic device of claim 14 , further comprising operation circuitry coupled to the display, wherein the operation circuitry passes the target audio signal.

19 . The electronic device of claim 14 , further comprising operation circuitry coupled to the display, wherein the operation circuitry attenuates the interfering audio signal.

20 . The electronic device of claim 14 , wherein the user interface aligns at least a part of the user interface with a reference plane.

21 . The electronic device of claim 20 , wherein the reference plane is horizontal.

22 . The electronic device of claim 20 , wherein aligning at least a part of the user interface comprises mapping a two-dimensional polar plot into a three-dimensional display space.

23 . The electronic device of claim 14 , wherein the physical coordinates are earth coordinates.

24 . The electronic device of claim 14 , wherein the coordinate system maintains an orientation independent of electronic device orientation.

25 . The electronic device of claim 14 , further comprising audio signature recognition circuitry that recognizes an audio signature, looks up the audio signature in a database, obtains identification information corresponding to the audio signature, and passes the identification information to the display.

26 . The electronic device of claim 25 , wherein the identification information is an image of a person corresponding to the audio signature.

27 . A computer-program product for displaying a user interface, comprising a non-transitory tangible computer-readable medium having instructions thereon, the instructions comprising:

code for causing an electronic device to present a user interface, wherein the user interface comprises a coordinate system, wherein the coordinate system corresponds to physical coordinates based on sensor data; and

code for causing the electronic device to display at least a target audio signal and an interfering audio signal on the user interface.

28 . The computer-program product of claim 27 , wherein the instructions further comprise code for causing the electronic device to display a directionality of at least one of the target audio signal and the interfering audio signal captured by at least one microphone.

29 . The computer-program product of claim 27 , wherein the instructions further comprise code for causing the electronic device to pass the target audio signal.

30 . The computer-program product of claim 27 , wherein the instructions further comprise code for causing the electronic device to attenuate the interfering audio signal.

31 . An apparatus for displaying a user interface, comprising:

means for presenting a user interface, wherein the user interface comprises a coordinate system, wherein the coordinate system corresponds to physical coordinates based on sensor data; and

means for displaying at least a target audio signal and an interfering audio signal on the user interface.

32 . The apparatus of claim 31 , further comprising means for displaying a directionality of at least one of the target audio signal and the interfering audio signal captured by at least one microphone.

33 . The apparatus of claim 31 , further comprising means for passing the target audio signal.

34 . The apparatus of claim 31 , further comprising means for attenuating the interfering audio signal.
