Patent number: 10993026Abstract: Briefly, in accordance with one or more embodiments, a display includes a housing comprising a first surface and a second surface opposite to the first surface. The second surface comprises a transparent material covering the second surface and the housing includes two or more microphone ports disposed along a parting line between the first surface and the second surface exterior to the transparent material. The housing further includes two or more microphones coupled with the two or more microphone ports. A microphone signal processing system may be utilize to increase directional sensitivity of the two more microphones toward an audio source. An angle detector to detect an angle of the may be utilized to accommodate the directional sensitivity provided by the microphone signal processing system.Type: GrantFiled: March 9, 2020Date of Patent: April 27, 2021Assignee: Intel CorporationInventor: Robert Jacobs
