Portable electronic device directed audio emitter arrangement system and method
First Claim
1. A system comprising:
- circuitry configured for modulating one or more ultrasonic signals;
circuitry configured for outputting via one or more ultrasonic transducers one or more ultrasonic beams associated with the one or more ultrasonic signals that are demodulated at a location into one or more acoustic audio signals;
circuitry configured for determining a position of a human relative to the location of demodulation to steer the one or more ultrasonic beams associated with the one or more ultrasonic signals based at least partly on acoustic imaging of the human;
circuitry configured for steering the one or more ultrasonic beams associated with the one or more ultrasonic signals based at least partly on acoustic imaging of the human such that the location of demodulation is steered to correspond to the position of the human; and
circuitry configured for adjusting the one or more ultrasonic beams to compensate for Doppler frequency shifting.

Abstract
A computationally implemented system and method that is designed to, but is not limited to: electronically determining positioning status of one or more portions of one or more humans relative to one or more locations of demodulation of one or more acoustic ultrasonic signals into one or more acoustic audio signals said one or more acoustic ultrasonic signals originating from a portable electronic device; and electronically alerting said one or more humans from said portable electronic device regarding said positioning status of one or more portions of one or more humans relative to one or more locations of demodulation of one or more acoustic ultrasonic signals into one or more acoustic audio signals when said positioning status includes a first characterization. In addition to the foregoing, other method aspects are described in the claims, drawings, and text forming a part of the present disclosure.
