Sound placement of comfort zones
First Claim
1. A method of updating a noise cancelling distribution area, the method comprising:
- measuring a location of a user'"'"'s head;
measuring an acoustic environment surrounding the user with at least one sensor to produce sound data;
providing the sound data to determine active noise reduction controller configuration parameters for the noise cancelling distribution area;
generating at least one active noise reduction control from the active noise reduction controller configuration parameters;
updating the active noise reduction controller configuration parameters at a specified rate and modifying a level of the specified rate based on an event in the noise cancelling distribution area; and
applying the at least one active noise reduction control to create the noise cancelling distribution area around the user'"'"'s ear with at least one speaker.

Abstract
Various exemplary embodiments relate to a device for noise cancelling using a method of updating a noise cancelling distribution area. The device may include: a memory; a processor configured to: measure a location of a user'"'"'s head; measure an acoustic environment surrounding the user; determine active noise reduction controller configuration parameters for a noise cancelling distribution area; generate at least one active noise reduction control from the active noise reduction controller configuration parameters; and apply the at least one active noise reduction control creating the noise cancelling distribution area in a region around the user'"'"'s head or ear.
