Abstract

A plurality of sound-detecting devices are configured to detect sound from an event of interest. Information about the sound is recorded that is dependent on a distance between the source position and the location of the sound-detection devices. The source position is approximated using the recorded information and the relative position of individual sound-detection devices to one another. The approximated source position is used as input for operating a electronic device.
