Smart audio with user input

Abstract:

A communication system establishes a communication session with a communication device via a network and captures, via one or more cameras, a local area within a field of view of the one or more cameras. The local area includes one or more audio sources. The communication system receives, from the communication device, a selection of a respective audio source from the one or more audio source in the local area. The selection indicates that audio originating from the respective audio source is to be prioritized over other audio sources in the local area. The communication system tunes one or more microphones based on a depth of the respective audio source relative to the communication system to optimize reception of audio originating at the respective audio source by the one or more microphones.
