Speaker calibration user interface
First Claim
1. Tangible, non-transitory, computer-readable media having stored therein instructions executable by one or more processors to cause a mobile device to perform operations comprising:
- causing a graphical display to display (i) a prompt to initiate a calibration sequence that involves calibration of a playback device for a given environment in which the playback device is located, (ii) a sequence of one or more prompts to prepare the playback device for calibration within the given environment, and (iii) a sequence of one or more prompts to prepare the given environment for calibration of the playback device, wherein causing the graphical display to display the sequence of one or more prompts to prepare the given environment for calibration of the playback device comprises;
causing the graphical display to display, on a control interface, (i) an indication that the mobile device is determining whether ambient noise within the given environment is less than a calibration threshold and (ii) an indication of sound pressure level in the environment;
upon detecting selection of a selectable control, initiating calibration of the playback device by causing the playback device to emit a calibration sound for a calibration interval; and
while the playback device is emitting the calibration sound, detecting, via one or more microphones, the emitted calibration sound.

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 a given environment in which the playback device is located. The example implementation may also involve the control device displaying (i) a prompt to prepare a playback device for calibration within a given environment, (ii) a prompt to prepare the given environment for calibration of the playback device, and/or (iii) a prompt to prepare the control device for calibration of the playback device. The example implementation may also involve a control device displaying a selectable control, that, when selected, initiates calibration of the playback device. The example implementation may further involve a control device initiating calibration of the playback device.
