First Claim
Patent Images
1. A device comprising:
- a speaker configured to play audio sound, the speaker being enclosed in the device;
a sensor;
a processor;
a non-transitory computer readable medium, andprogram instructions stored on the non-transitory computer readable medium that, when executed by the processor, cause the device to perform functions comprising;
playing, by the device, the audio sound via the speaker;
while the speaker is playing the audio sound, comparing a sensor output to a sensor profile indicative of movement of the device; and
in response to comparing the sensor output to the sensor profile, adjusting, by the device, the audio sound played by the speaker.

Abstract
Method and apparatus for physical detecting movement of a playback device which plays audio sound via a speaker enclosed in the playback device. While the speaker plays the audio sound, a determination is made whether the playback device is physically moving. In response to the playback device physically moving, the audio sound played by the speaker is modified, for example, by adjusting the volume or equalization of the audio sound, so as to reduce the physical movement of the playback device.

9. A tangible non-transitory computer readable storage medium including a set of instructions that when executed by a processor cause a device to perform functions comprising:
-
playing, by the device, the audio sound via a speaker enclosed in the device; while the speaker is playing the audio sound, comparing a sensor output from a sensor of the device to a sensor profile indicative of movement of the device; and in response to comparing the sensor output to the sensor profile, adjusting, by the device, the audio sound played by the speaker. - View Dependent Claims (10, 11, 12, 13, 14)

15. A tangible non-transitory computer readable storage medium including a set of instructions that when executed by a processor cause a device to perform functions comprising:
-
playing, by the device, audio sound via a speaker enclosed in the device; filtering an input into a sensor of the device; while the speaker is playing the audio sound, analyzing an output from the sensor and, in response to a sensor output value from the analyzed sensor output indicating that the device is physically moving, adjusting the audio sound played by the speaker. - View Dependent Claims (16, 17, 18, 19, 20)
