Abstract

See full text

Systems, apparatuses, and methods are described for controlling source tracking and delaying beamforming in a microphone array system. A source tracker may continuously determine a direction of an audio source. A source tracker controller may pause the source tracking of the source tracker if a user may continue to speak to the system. The source tracker controller may resume the source tracking of the source tracker if the user may cease to speak to the system, or when one or more pause durations have been reached.
