US Patent 9734822 Feedback based beamformed signal selection

Features are disclosed for improving the accuracy and stability of beamformed signal selection. The selection may consider processing feedback information to identify when the current beam selection may need to be re-evaluated. The feedback information may further be used to select a beamformed signal for processing. For example, beams which detect wake-words or yield high confidence speech recognition may be favored over beams which fail to detect or recognize at a lower confidence level.
