Playback device configuration according to distortion threshold
First Claim
1. A playback device comprising:
- one or more processors; 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 functions comprising;
causing the playback device to play audio content according to an existing playback configuration;
determining an existing frequency response of the playback device in a given system;
determining whether a difference between the existing frequency response of the playback device in the given system and a predetermined frequency response for the playback device is greater than a predetermined distortion threshold;
if it is determined that the difference between the existing frequency response of the playback device in the given system and the predetermined frequency response for the playback device is greater than the predetermined distortion threshold, then(i) changing the existing playback configuration of the playback device to an updated playback configuration of the playback device; and
(ii) causing the playback device to play audio content according to the updated playback configuration; and
if it is determined that the difference between the existing frequency response of the playback device in the given system and the predetermined frequency response for the playback device is not greater than the predetermined distortion threshold, then(i) foregoing changing the existing playback configuration of the playback device; and
(ii) causing the playback device to continue to play audio content according to the existing playback configuration.

Abstract
Examples described herein involve configuring a playback device based on distortion, such as that caused by a barrier. One implementation may involve causing the playback device to play audio content according to an existing playback configuration, determining an existing frequency response of the playback device in a given system, and determining whether a difference between the existing frequency response of the playback device in the given system and a predetermined frequency response for the playback device is greater than a predetermined distortion threshold. If it is determined that the difference between the existing frequency response of the playback device and the predetermined frequency response for the playback device is greater than the predetermined distortion threshold, then the existing playback configuration of the playback device is changed to an updated playback configuration of the playback device and the playback device plays audio content according to the updated playback configuration.

11. Tangible, non-transitory, computer-readable media having instructions encoded therein, wherein the instructions, when executed by one or more processors of a playback device, cause the playback device to perform functions comprising:
-
causing the playback device to play audio content according to an existing playback configuration; determining an existing frequency response of the playback device in a given system; determining whether a difference between the existing frequency response of the playback device in the given system and a predetermined frequency response for the playback device is greater than a predetermined distortion threshold; if it is determined that the difference between the existing frequency response of the playback device in the given system and the predetermined frequency response for the playback device is greater than the predetermined distortion threshold, then (i) changing the existing playback configuration of the playback device to an updated playback configuration of the playback device; and (ii) causing the playback device to play audio content according to the updated playback configuration; and if it is determined that the difference between the existing frequency response of the playback device in the given system and the predetermined frequency response for the playback device is not greater than the predetermined distortion threshold, then (i) foregoing changing the existing playback configuration of the playback device; and (ii) causing the playback device to continue to play audio content according to the existing playback configuration. - View Dependent Claims (12, 13, 14, 15, 16, 17)

18. A method comprising:
-
causing a playback device to play audio content according to an existing playback configuration; determining an existing frequency response of the playback device in a given system; determining whether a difference between the existing frequency response of the playback device in the given system and a predetermined frequency response for the playback device is greater than a predetermined distortion threshold; if it is determined that the difference between the existing frequency response of the playback device in the given system and the predetermined frequency response for the playback device is greater than the predetermined distortion threshold, then (i) changing the existing playback configuration of the playback device to an updated playback configuration of the playback device; and (ii) causing the playback device to play audio content according to the updated playback configuration; and if it is determined that the difference between the existing frequency response of the playback device in the given system and the predetermined frequency response for the playback device is not greater than the predetermined distortion threshold, then (i) foregoing changing the existing playback configuration of the playback device; and (ii) causing the playback device to continue to play audio content according to the existing playback configuration. - View Dependent Claims (19, 20)
