Patent 10523170 was granted and assigned to Amazon on December, 2019 by the United States Patent and Trademark Office.
Systems and techniques are generally described for audio signal processing for motion detection. In some examples, a first energy level of a first audio signal detected by a first microphone is determined over a first period of time. In some further examples, a first change in the first energy level from a first energy level value to a second energy level value is determined during the first period of time. In some other examples, a determination is made that the first change in the first energy level exceeds a threshold change value associated with the first period of time. In at least some other examples, a bias of an audio amplifier of the first device is adjusted.
