Patent granted for computer system facilitating voice communication in mixed-reality
A recently granted patent (Publication Number: US11979736B2) discloses a computer system designed to enhance voice communication within a mixed-reality environment. The system includes processors and hardware storage devices storing executable instructions to perform various functions. These functions involve identifying the locations of users within the environment, determining vocal distance attributes between users, and establishing communication states based on these attributes. The system can differentiate between physical and virtual locations, determine if users are within hearing distance, and adjust communication settings accordingly.
Furthermore, the patent describes a method for facilitating voice communication in a mixed-reality environment, similar to the functions performed by the computer system. By identifying user locations, determining vocal distance attributes, and establishing communication states, the method aims to optimize voice communication within the mixed-reality setting. It includes scenarios where users are within physical or virtual hearing distance, allowing for tailored communication experiences based on the spatial relationships between users. Overall, the patent highlights innovative technology that can potentially revolutionize voice communication in mixed-reality environments by considering the spatial aspects of user interactions.
