Calibration with particular locations
First Claim
1. A method comprising:
- detecting, via one or more microphones, at least a portion of one or more calibration sounds as emitted by one or more playback devices of a zone during a calibration sequence, wherein detecting the portion of the one or more calibrations sounds comprises recording first samples of the one or more calibrations sounds while the one or more microphones are in motion through a given environment and recording second samples of the one or more calibrations sounds while the one or more microphones are stationary at one or more particular locations within the given environment;
determining a first calibration for the one or more playback devices based on at least the first samples of the one or more calibrations sounds;
determining a second calibration for the one or more playback devices based on at least the second samples of the one or more calibrations sounds; and
applying at least one of (a) the first calibration or (b) the second calibration to playback by the one or more playback devices.

Abstract
Example techniques may involve multiple calibrations for one or more playback devices. An example implementation may involve detecting, via a microphone, calibration sounds as emitted by one or more playback devices during a calibration sequence, perhaps by recording first samples while the microphone is in motion through a given environment and recording second samples while the microphone is stationary at one or more particular locations. The implementation may also include determining a first calibration for the one or more playback devices based on at least the first samples of the calibrations sounds and determining a second calibration for the one or more playback devices based on at least the second samples of the calibrations sounds. The implementation may further include applying at least one of (a) the first calibration or (b) the second calibration to playback by the one or more playback devices.

13. A non-transitory computer-readable medium having stored therein instructions executable by one or more processors to cause a control device to perform a method comprising:
-
displaying, via a graphical interface one or more prompts to move the control device within a given environment during a calibration sequence of a given zone that comprises one or more playback devices; detecting, via one or more microphones, at least a portion of one or more calibration sounds as emitted by the one or more playback devices during the calibration sequence, wherein detecting the portion of the one or more calibrations sounds comprises recording first samples of the one or more calibrations sounds while the one or more microphones are in motion through the given environment and recording second samples of the one or more calibrations sounds while the one or more microphones are stationary at one or more particular locations within the given environment; determining a first calibration for the one or more playback devices based on at least the first samples of the one or more calibrations sounds; determining a second calibration for the one or more playback devices based on at least the second samples of the one or more calibrations sounds; and sending at least one of the first calibration and the second calibration to the zone. - View Dependent Claims (14, 15, 16)

17. A computing device, comprising:
-
one or more processors; and tangible, non-transitory computer-readable media having stored thereon instructions that, when executed by the one or more processors, cause the computing device to perform functions comprising; detecting, via one or more microphones, at least a portion of one or more calibration sounds as emitted by one or more playback devices of a zone during a calibration sequence, wherein detecting the portion of the one or more calibrations sounds comprises recording first samples of the one or more calibrations sounds while the one or more microphones are in motion through a given environment and recording second samples of the one or more calibrations sounds while the one or more microphones are stationary at one or more particular locations within the given environment; determining a first calibration for the one or more playback devices based on at least the first samples of the one or more calibrations sounds; determining a second calibration for the one or more playback devices based on at least the second samples of the one or more calibrations sounds; and applying at least one of (a) the first calibration or (b) the second calibration to playback by the one or more playback devices. - View Dependent Claims (18, 19, 20)
