Calibration interface
First Claim
1. Tangible, non-transitory, computer-readable media having instructions encoded therein, wherein the instructions, when executed by one or more processors, cause a computing device to perform a method comprising:
- displaying, on a graphical display, a prompt to initiate a calibration sequence that comprises (i) a spectral calibration component and (ii) a spatial calibration component, wherein the spectral calibration component involves calibration of a playback device for a given environment in which the playback device is located by recording, via the computing device, first audio output of the playback device while the computing device is in motion through the environment, and wherein the spatial calibration component involves calibration of the playback device for a particular location within the given environment by recording second audio output of the playback device while the computing device is stationary at the particular location;
displaying, on the graphical display, a sequence of one or more prompts to prepare the particular location within the given environment for the spatial calibration component; and
upon detecting selection of a first selectable control that, when selected, initiates spatial calibration of the playback device within the particular location of the given environment, causing the spatial calibration component to be initiated.

Abstract
An example implementation may involve a control device displaying a prompt to initiate a calibration sequence that involves calibration of a playback device for particular location within a given environment. The example implementation may also involve the control device displaying (i) a prompt to initiate a calibration sequence that includes a spectral calibration component and a spatial calibration component, and (ii) a sequence of one or more prompts to prepare the particular location within the given environment for the spatial calibration component. The example implementation may also involve a control device displaying a selectable control, that, when selected, initiates spatial calibration of the playback device within the particular location of the given environment, causing the spatial calibration component to be initiated.

20. A computing device comprising:
-
a network interface; one or more processors; and computer-readable media having instructions encoded therein, wherein the instructions, when executed by the one or more processors, cause the computing device to perform functions comprising; displaying, on a graphical display, a prompt to initiate a calibration sequence that comprises (i) a spectral calibration component and (ii) a spatial calibration component, wherein the spectral calibration component involves calibration of a playback device for a given environment in which the playback device is located by recording, via the computing device, first audio output of the playback device while the computing device is in motion through the environment, and wherein the spatial calibration component involves calibration of the playback device for a particular location within the given environment by recording second audio output of the playback device while the computing device is stationary at the particular location; displaying, on the graphical display, a sequence of one or more prompts to prepare the particular location within the given environment for the spatial calibration component; and upon detecting selection of a first selectable control that, when selected, initiates spatial calibration of the playback device within the particular location of the given environment, causing the spatial calibration component to be initiated.
