Abstract
A method of operating an acoustic system includes detecting an ultrasonic sound signal and pattern matching the received ultrasonic sound signal to determine when the received ultrasonic sound signal is a desired ultrasonic sound signal. The method includes sending a signal to at least one electronic component when the received ultrasonic sound signal is the desired ultrasonic sound signal. The method includes operating the microphone in a lower power state when the received ultrasonic sound signal is not the desired ultrasonic sound signal.
