Abstract: Methods and systems are provided for extending ranges of a plurality of voice assistant systems and interacting with the plurality of voice assistant systems using a common beacon network system. In one example, the beacon network system includes at least one primary beacon device communicatively coupled to and/or within corresponding listening ranges of one or more voice assistant systems, and a plurality of secondary beacon devices communicatively coupled to the primary beacon device and distributed within an operating environment. The beacon network system enables multi-user interaction with the plurality of voice assistant systems. Further, the beacon network system is scalable and may be deployed in a wide range of operating environments (e.g., operating environments of various sizes).

Abstract: A system and method for tracking a position node for one or more moving objects, the tracking including scanning for one or more moving objects, detecting one or more moving objects, creating a temporary position node around one or more detected moving objects, searching a node pool for an existing position node nearby the temporary position node, setting a timer for the existing position node that is nearby the temporary position node, the timer has a predetermined time limit, and for a temporary position node that is not nearby an existing position node, creating a new position node that is added to the node pool and setting a timer associated with the new position node, the timer associated with the new position node has a predetermined time limit.

Abstract: A system and method for automatic beamforming comprising detecting a target location set by a user, configuring a strength, a propagation delay and a steering angle of the sound beam based on the user-defined target location and steering the sound beam to the user-defined target location.

Abstract: A system and method for calibrating a baseline parameter for a speaker pair, the calibrating includes activating a plurality of light sources one-by-one on a slave in the speaker pair, detecting light points at a detection set on a master in the speaker pair, creating a detected pattern of light points, comparing the detected pattern to a database of calibration patterns, determining a relative angle and distance between the master and the slave, calculating the baseline parameter using the determined distance and relative angle.
