Proximity detection using audio pulse |
摘要 |
Embodiments described herein involve configuring a playback device based on the detection of a barrier in proximity to the playback device. One embodiment may involve receiving proximity data that includes an indication of a barrier that is proximate to a playback device; detecting that the barrier is within a threshold proximity to a first speaker of the playback device based on the indication of the barrier that is proximate to the playback device; in response to the detecting, setting a playback configuration of the playback device; and causing the playback device to play an audio content according to the playback configuration. |

1. A playback device comprising:
one or more processors; one or more speakers; one or more microphones; and tangible, non-transitory, computer-readable media having instructions encoded therein, wherein the instructions, when executed by the one or more processors, cause the playback device to perform a method comprising outputting, via at least one of the one or more speakers, an audio pulse; receiving proximity data that includes an indication of a barrier that is proximate to the playback device, wherein receiving the proximity data comprises: receiving data indicative of a reflected audio pulse via at least one of the one or more microphones, and wherein the reflected audio pulse corresponds to the outputted audio pulse; detecting that the barrier is within a threshold proximity to a first speaker of the playback device based on the indication of the barrier that is proximate to the playback device; based on the detecting, setting a playback configuration of the playback device; and causing the playback device to play an audio content according to the playback configuration. |
