Speaker position identification and user interface for its representation
First Claim
1. A graphical user interface comprising:
- a call management display area including a plurality of partitions, the plurality of partitions dynamically adjusted based in part on a number of speakers, each partition corresponding to a position around a phone system, the call management display conveying a position of an active speaker in a three-dimensional representation, the three-dimensional representation including information depicting a distance from the phone system;
at least one identifier, each identifier corresponding to a partition of the plurality of partitions; and
at least one position indicator icon, each position indicator icon corresponding to a corresponding identifier of the at least one identifier, the position indicator icon showing the active speaker based on received acoustic signals indicating the position of the active speaker.

Abstract
A system, method and graphical user interface for determining a speaker'"'"'s position and a generating a display showing the position of the speaker. In one embodiment, the system comprises a first speakerphone system and a second speakerphone system communicatively coupled to send and receive data. The speakerphone system comprises a display, an input device, a microphone array, a speaker, and a position processing module. The position processing module is coupled to receive acoustic signals from the microphone array. The position processing module uses these acoustic signals to determine a position of the speaker. The position information is then sent to other speakerphone system for presentation on the display.
