Receiving audio from a listening device associated with a selected geographic area

Abstract:

An example computer-implemented method includes receiving, by a processing device, a signal from a sensor of a user device associated with a user who is physically indicating at a geographic area, the signal including direction information and inclination information associated with the indicating. The method further includes determining, by the processing device, a direction the user is indicating based on the direction information. The method further includes determining, by the processing device, a distance that the user is indicating based on the inclination information. The method further includes determining, by the processing device, a specified geographic area based on the direction the user is indicating and the distance the user is indicating. The method further includes identifying, by the processing device, a listening device located in proximity to the specified geographic area. The method further includes enabling, by the processing device, the listening device to capture audio.
