Selective Sound Field Environment Processing System and Method
First Claim
1. A method for selective sound field environment processing for a set of wireless earpieces, having the following steps:
- communicating wirelessly between the set of wireless earpieces;
receiving audio input from a sound field environment from a plurality of microphones of the set of wireless earpieces;
identifying a plurality of sound sources within the audio input from the sound field environment;
receiving an input from a user of the set of wireless earpieces wherein the input from the user specifies one of the plurality of sound sources within the audio input from the sound field environment, wherein the one of the plurality of sound sources is a voice of a person;
processing the sound field environment audio input using at least one processor of the set of wireless earpieces to enhance audio from the one of the plurality of sounds sources to provide processed audio; and
transducing the processed audio at one or more speakers of the set of wireless earpieces.

Abstract
A method for selective sound field environment processing for one or more wireless earpieces, each of the one or more wireless earpieces including comprising a plurality of microphones is provided. The method includes receiving audio input of a sound field environment from the plurality of microphones of each of the one or more wireless earpieces, identifying background noise in the sound field environment, identifying audio from at least one sound source within the sound field environment, processing the audio input using one or more processors of at least one of the wireless earpieces to reduce the background noise and processing the audio input using one or more processors of the at least one of the wireless earpieces to enhance the audio from the at least one sound source within the sound field environment to provide processed audio, and transducing the processed audio at one or more speakers of the one or more wireless earpieces.
