Integrated loudspeaker and control device
An example method of operation may include receiving audio data, via one or more microphones of a network device, from an audio source, determining a location of the audio data based on a direction and amplitude of the received audio data, modifying the audio data for output via a loudspeaker of the network device, and outputting, via the loudspeaker, the modified audio data.
1. A method comprising:
determining a location of audio data based on a direction and amplitude of the audio data;
determining an audio amplitude to apply to the audio data, based on the location and the direction;
modifying the audio data for output via two or more loudspeakers of two or more network devices; and
outputting, via the two or more loudspeakers, the modified audio data as two or more different audio streams.
2. The method of claim 1 , comprising receiving the audio data, via one or more microphones of the two or more network devices, from an audio source.
3. The method of claim 1 , comprising
forwarding received audio data to a server; and
receiving the modified audio data from the server.
4. The method of claim 1 , comprising
filtering received audio data to create the modified audio data.
5. The method of claim 1 , comprising
receiving the audio data at a plurality of microphones; and
creating a beamform of the audio data based on the received audio data at the plurality of microphones.
6. The method of claim 5 , comprising
determining the direction of the audio data based on the beamformed audio data.
7. The method of claim 1 , comprising
determining an amplitude of the audio data is above a threshold audio data level; and
responsive to determining the audio data is above the threshold audio data level, outputting the modified audio data at a zero amplitude.
8. An apparatus comprising:
a processor configured to:
determine a location of audio data based on a direction and amplitude of the audio data;
determine an audio amplitude to apply to the audio data, based on the location and the direction;
modify the audio data for output via two or more loudspeakers of two or more network devices; and
output, via the two or more loudspeakers, the modified audio data as two or more different audio streams.
9. The apparatus of claim 8 , comprising a receiver configured to receive the audio data, via one or more microphones of the two or more network devices, from an audio source.
10. The apparatus of claim 8 , wherein the processor is further configured to forward received audio data to a server; and
receive the modified audio data from the server.
11. The apparatus of claim 8 , wherein the processor is further configured to filter received audio data to create the modified audio data.
12. The apparatus of claim 8 , wherein a receiver is configured to receive the audio data at a plurality of microphones, and wherein the processor is further configured to create a beamform of the audio data based on the received audio data at the plurality of microphones.
13. The apparatus of claim 12 , wherein the processor is further configured to determine the direction of the audio data based on the beamformed audio data.
14. The apparatus of claim 8 , wherein the processor is further configured to determine an amplitude of the audio data is above a threshold audio data level, and responsive to the audio data being determined as above the threshold audio data level, output the modified audio data at a zero amplitude.
15. A non-transitory computer readable storage medium configured to store instructions that when executed cause a processor to perform:
determining a location of audio data based on a direction and amplitude of the audio data;
determining an audio amplitude to apply to the audio data, based on the location and the direction;
modifying the audio data for output via two or more loudspeakers of two or more network devices; and
outputting, via the two or more loudspeakers, the modified audio data as two or more different audio streams.
16. The non-transitory computer readable storage medium of claim 15 , wherein the processor is further configured to perform:
receiving the audio data, via one or more microphones of the two or more network devices, from an audio source.
17. The non-transitory computer readable storage medium of claim 15 , wherein the processor is further configured to perform:
forwarding received audio data to a server; and
receiving the modified audio data from the server.
18. The non-transitory computer readable storage medium of claim 15 ,
wherein the processor is further configured to perform
filtering received audio data to create the modified audio data.
19. The non-transitory computer readable storage medium of claim 15 , wherein
the processor is further configured to perform:
receiving the audio data at a plurality of microphones; and
creating a beamform of the audio data based on the received audio data at the plurality of microphones.
20. The non-transitory computer readable storage medium of claim 15 ,
wherein the processor is further configured to perform:
determining the direction of the audio data based on beamformed audio data.
