METHOD AND SYSTEM FOR DETERMINING A POSITION OF A MICROPHONE

Abstract:

A method for determining an actual position of a microphone, comprising: sequentially emitting a first sound signal via a first speaker positioned and a second sound signal via a second speaker positioned; measuring a first elapsed time between the emission of the first sound signal and a detection of the first sound signal by the microphone, and a second elapsed time between the emission of the second sound signal and a detection of the second sound signal by the microphone; determining a first distance between the first speaker and the microphone using the first elapsed time, and a second distance between the second speaker and the microphone using the second elapsed time; determining the actual position of the microphone using the first and second distances and the positions of the first and second speaker; and outputting the actual position.
