ABSTRACT:
The invention relates to a telephone conference system and an associated method. A conference phone includes a plurality of input audio signals and a spatial preference sensor adapted to identify a listening preference associated with at least one conference participant. The spatial preference sensor might indicate a head position of a conference participant, such that small movements of the participant's head control processing of a plurality of input signals resulting in a more audibly intelligible conference.
