Playback device setting according to threshold(s)
First Claim
1. A playback device comprising:
- one or more processors; and
tangible, computer-readable media having instructions encoded therein, wherein the instructions, when executed by the one or more processors, cause the playback device to perform a method comprising;
receiving sensor data;
determining, based on the received sensor data, that a barrier has remained within a threshold proximity to the playback device for at least a threshold duration of time;
in response to determining that the barrier has remained within the threshold proximity to the playback device for at least the threshold duration of time, applying, to the playback device, a playback configuration that adjusts audio output of the playback device at one or more frequency ranges; and
causing one or more speakers to play back audio content according to the playback configuration.

Abstract
Embodiments described herein involve configuring a playback device based on the detection of a barrier remaining in proximity to the playback device until a gating condition is satisfied. In an example embodiment, a playback device receives sensor data, and determines, based on the received sensor data, that a barrier has remained within a threshold proximity to the playback device for at least a threshold duration of time. In response to determining that the barrier has remained within the threshold proximity to the playback device for at least the threshold duration time, a playback configuration is applied to the playback device. This playback device may adjusts audio output of the playback device at one or more frequency ranges. After applying the playback configuration, the playback device play backs audio content according to the playback configuration.

8. A method comprising:
-
receiving, via a playback device, sensor data; determining, based on the received sensor data, that a barrier has remained within a threshold proximity to the playback device for at least a threshold duration of time; in response to determining that the barrier has remained within the threshold proximity to the playback device for at least the threshold duration of time, applying, to the playback device, a playback configuration that adjusts audio output of the playback device at one or more frequency ranges; and causing, via the playback device, one or more speakers to play back audio content according to the playback configuration. - View Dependent Claims (9, 10, 11, 12, 13, 14)

15. A tangible non-transitory computer-readable storage medium including a set of instructions for execution by a processor, the set of instructions, when executed, cause a playback device to perform operations comprising:
-
receiving sensor data; determining, based on the received sensor data, that a barrier has remained within a threshold proximity to the playback device for at least a threshold duration of time; in response to determining that the barrier has remained within the threshold proximity to the playback device for at least the threshold duration of time, applying, to the playback device, a playback configuration that adjusts audio output of the playback device at one or more frequency ranges; and causing one or more speakers to play back audio content according to the playback configuration. - View Dependent Claims (16, 17, 18, 19, 20)
