Abstract
The present disclosure pertains to a sound generation device with proximity control. In general, a device may include sound generation functionality that may be controlled based on proximity sensing. The device may be, for example, a lighting device including circuitry to generate sound based on audio data received from a source outside of the device. Sensing circuitry in the device may generate sensor data that indicates when a user is proximate to the device. Control circuitry in the device may then control the sound generation based on sensor data. Various operations in the device may be based on the sensor data indicating that a user is proximate to the device, the identity of the user, that a certain condition has occurred, etc.
