Abstract
A device includes a first microphone at a first position on the device, a second microphone at a second position on the device, a first speaker at a third position on the device, and a second speaker at a fourth position on the device. The first, second, third, and fourth positions of the device are different positions. The device also includes a controller configured to determine a physical characteristic of the device. The controller is further configured to select, based on the determined physical characteristic, among the first microphone at the first position on the device and the second microphone at the second position on the device. The controller is additionally configured to select, based on the determined physical characteristic, among the first speaker at the third position on the device and the second speaker at the fourth position on the device.

13. A method comprising:
-
determining a posture of a device, wherein the device includes; a first microphone at a first position on the device, a second microphone at a second position on the device, a first speaker at a third position on the device, a second speaker at a fourth position on the device, wherein the first, second, third, and fourth positions of the device are different positions; a first camera positioned at a rear surface of the device; and a second camera positioned at the rear surface of the device; determining whether a current mode of the device is a call mode; based on the determined posture and determining that the current mode is the call mode, selecting, by a controller of the device, among the first microphone at the first position on the device and the second microphone at a second position on the device; based on the determined posture and determining that the current mode is the call mode, selecting, by the controller of the device, among the first speaker at the third position on the device and the second speaker at a fourth position on the device; capturing a two-dimensional (2D) image through the first camera when the posture of the device is a pre-set first posture; and capturing a three-dimensional (3D) image through the first and second cameras when the posture of the device is a pre-set second posture, and wherein the pre-set first posture and the pre-set second posture are different each other. - View Dependent Claims (14, 15, 16, 17, 18, 19, 20, 21)
