Directed audio

摘要

Embodiments provide apparatuses and systems which include a front surface, a back surface, and a second back surface. A speaker may be disposed between the front surface and the back surface. The speaker is to direct audio substantially orthogonally through the back surface. The second back surface is to enable an acoustic response from the speaker. A method is also provided which enables a computing device to determine whether it is engaging a surface. In response to the determination, the computing device may adjust the audio signal provisioned to a speaker directed orthogonally to the surface, and output the audio signal to provision an omni-directional acoustic response.

主权项

1. An apparatus, comprising:
a housing of a portable computing device comprising a front planar surface and a first back planar surface, wherein the first back planar surface is parallel to the front planar surface, wherein the front planar surface is parallel to a display that directs an image through the front planar surface; a speaker disposed within the housing, wherein the speaker is to direct an audio orthogonally through the first back planar surface; and a second back planar surface parallel to the first back planar surface to enable an acoustic response to the audio from the speaker when the second back planar surface is determined by the portable computing device to engage a supporting surface, wherein the acoustic response comprises a reflection of the audio directed orthogonally through the first back planar surface.
