  • Patent number: 11665552
    Abstract: Roaming equipment including: communication means (10) comprising a client module (14) and a repeater module (15) or an extender module, the communication means being configurable in a first mode in which the client module is activated and the repeater module or the extender module is deactivated, such that the roaming equipment is arranged to perform a client function, and in a second mode in which the client module is activated and the repeater module or the extender module is also activated, such that the roaming equipment is arranged to perform both the client function and a repeater function or an extender function; configuration means (16, 43, 44) arranged to configure the communication means in the first mode while the roaming equipment is not receiving the external supply of power, and in a second mode while the roaming equipment is receiving the external supply of power via the power supply base.

  • Publication number: 20220312111
    Abstract: A selection method is implemented in electronic equipment and includes steps consisting of: acquiring and memorizing, for each microphone of the equipment, a first reference audio signal produced by said microphone from a reception by the set of microphones of a first reference sound signal; analyzing the first reference audio signals to produce at least one directional parameter representative of a direction of arrival of the first reference sound signal; selecting, according to the directional parameters from among the set of microphones, the first microphones which make it possible to maximize an effectiveness of a first voice recognition method.
