Abstract

At least one processor that performs at least one of determine at least two audio signals, determine at least one directionality of at least one audio source from the at least two audio signals, determine at least one timing of the at least one audio source from the at least two audio signals, generate at least one context for the at least two audio signals based on the at least one directionality and the at least one timing of the at least two audio signals, and provide at least one user interface based on the generated at least one context.

Claims (45)

1. A method, comprising:

determining at least one directionality of at least one audio source from at least two audio signals received by a device;

determining at least one timing of the at least one audio source from the at least two audio signals;

generating at least one context for the at least two audio signals based on the at least one directionality and the at least one timing of the at least two audio signals;

identifying at least one second user that has an interest in the at least one context;

and

providing a connection between the at least one second user and the at least one user interface.

2. The method of claim 1 , comprising adjusting an initial output on the at least one user interface of the device based on the generated at least one context, wherein the initial output includes audio data, video data or a combination of audio data and video data.

3. The method of claim 1 , comprising adjusting a brightness level output on the device based on the at least one context.

4. The method of claim 1 , comprising adjusting a volume level output on the device based on the at least one context.

5. The method of claim 1 , wherein the at least two audio signals represent one audio source.

6. The method of claim 1 , wherein the at least one user interface outputs at least one most probable context, based on the generated at least one context.

7. The method of claim 6 , wherein the at least one most probable context is based on a global position signal.

8. A non-transitory computer readable medium comprising

instructions that when executed by a processor, cause the processor to perform:

determining at least one directionality of at least one audio source from at least two audio signals received by a device;

determining at least one timing of the at least one audio source from the at least two audio signals;

generating at least one context for the at least two audio signals based on the at least one directionality and the at least one timing of the at least two audio signals;

identifying at least one second user that has an interest in the at least one context;

and

providing a connection between the at least one second user and the at least one user interface.

9. The non-transitory computer readable medium of claim 8 , comprising instructions that when executed by a processor, cause the processor to perform adjusting an initial output on the at least one user interface of the device based on the generated at least one context wherein the initial output includes audio data, video data or a combination of audio data and video data.

10. The non-transitory computer readable medium of claim 8 , comprising instructions that when executed by a processor, cause the processor to perform adjusting a brightness level output on the device based on the at least one context.

11. The non-transitory computer readable medium of claim 8 , comprising instructions that when executed by a processor, cause the processor to perform adjusting a volume level output on the device based on the at least one context.

12. The non-transitory computer readable medium of claim 8 , wherein the at least two audio signals represent one audio source.

13. The non-transitory computer readable medium of claim 8 , wherein the at least one user interface outputs at least one most probable context, based on the generated at least one context.

14. The non-transitory computer readable medium of claim 13 , wherein the at least one most probable context is based on a global position signal.

15. A system, comprising:

memory; and

a processor;

wherein the memory and processor are communicably coupled to one another;

wherein the processor is configured to:

determine at least one directionality of at least one audio source from at least two audio signals received by a device;

determine at least one time of the at least one audio source from the at least two audio signals;

generate at least one context for the at least two audio signals based on the at least one directionality and the at least one time of the at least two audio signals;

identify at least one second user that has an interest in the at least one context;

and

provide a connection between the at least one second user and the at least one user interface.

16. The system of claim 15 , wherein the processor is configured to perform: adjust an initial output on the at least one user interface of the device based on the generated at least one context, wherein the initial output includes audio data, video data or a combination of audio data and video data.

17. The system of claim 15 , wherein the processor is configured to perform at least one of:

adjust a device brightness based on the at least one context; and

adjust a device volume based on the at least one context.

18. The system of claim 15 , wherein the at least two audio signals represent one audio source.

19. The system of claim 15 , wherein the at least one user interface outputs at least one most probable context, based on the generated at least one context.

20. The system of claim 19 , wherein the at least one most probable context is based on a global position signal.
