System and method for mapping and displaying audio source locations
First Claim
1. A method for defining a reference sound position and producing an indicia proximate thereto in relation to one or more sound characteristics at a predetermined location, comprising:
- defining at least one sound characteristic to be detected;
detecting at least one target sound in relation to the at least one sound characteristic;
determining the referenced sound position in relation to the detected target sound; and
,producing the indicia proximate to the determined referenced sound position.

Abstract
The present invention relates generally to a method and system for defining a reference sound position and producing an indicia proximate thereto in relation to one or more sound characteristics. The present invention, in one or more embodiments, provides for displaying a holographic image at a reference sound location which is determined in relation to the identification of one or more target sounds being associated with one or more identified sound characteristics. In other embodiments, the present invention provides for an indicia to appear to be interactive with a reference sound location and may be used in a variety of environments including but not limited to rock theatrics, homeland security and residential security.

10. A method for determining a reference sound source location and performing an indicia proximate to the reference sound location, in relation to one or more targeted characteristics of one or more sound sources in a predetermined sound environment, comprising:
-
defining one or more target sound characteristics being one or more of frequency range, decibel level, pitch range, loudness range, directional location, and period of time; defining one or more characteristics of the indicia as being one or more of visible, audible, and/or tactile; detecting at least one target sound in relation to the one or more target sound characteristics in the sound environment; determining the referenced sound source location in relation to the detected target sound; and
,assigning the indicia to be performed proximate to the determined referenced sound source location. - View Dependent Claims (11, 12, 13)
