Abstract: A relative location and orientation of microphone arrays relative to each other is estimated without actively producing test sounds. In one instance, the relative location and orientation of a second microphone array relative to a first microphone array is estimated based on the direction-of-arrival (DOA) of an ambient sound at the first microphone array, the DOA of the ambient sound at the second microphone array, and the time-difference-of-arrival (TDOA) of the ambient sound between the first microphone array and the second microphone array. Other embodiments are also described and claimed.

Abstract: The embodiments set forth a technique for enabling a computing device to securely configure a peripheral computing device. According to some embodiments, the method can include the steps of (1) approving a request received from the peripheral computing device to engage in a setup procedure for the peripheral computing device, (2) receiving, from the peripheral computing device: (i) an audio signal that encodes a password and timing information, and (ii) a light signal. Additionally, the method can involve, in response to identifying that the timing information correlates with the light signal: (3) extracting the password from the audio signal, and (4) establishing a communication link with the peripheral computing device based on the password. In turn, the method can involve (5) providing configuration information to the peripheral computing device over the communication link.

Abstract: An audio emission device and an audio capture device that may respectively emit and capture sound within a listening area is described. The audio emission device may produce one or more primary audio beams in the listening area. Each of the primary audio beams may be formed by weighting a set of modal beam patterns. Separate orthogonal test signals may be injected into each modal beam pattern. Based on these separate orthogonal test signals, the individual modal beam patterns may be extracted from a detected sound signal, produced by the audio capture device, such that the contribution from each of these modal patterns in the detected sound signal may be determined. Utilizing the contributions from each modal beam pattern in the detected sound signal, the spatial relationship (e.g., distance and/or orientation/angle) between the audio emission device and the audio capture device may be determined.
