    Abstract: A process for reproducing sound using a loudspeaker array that is housed in a loudspeaker cabinet includes the selection of a number of sound rendering modes and changing the selected sound rendering mode based on changes in one or both of sensor data and a user interface selection. The sound rendering modes include a number of mid-side modes and at least one direct-ambient mode. Other embodiments are also described and claimed.

    Abstract: An audio system includes one or more loudspeaker cabinets, each having loudspeakers. Sensing logic determines an acoustic environment of the loudspeaker cabinets. The sensing logic may include an echo canceller. A low frequency filter corrects an audio program based on the acoustic environment of the loudspeaker cabinets. The system outputs an omnidirectional sound pattern, which may be low frequency sound, to determine the acoustic environment. The system may produce a directional pattern superimposed on an omnidirectional pattern, if the acoustic environment is in free space. The system may aim ambient content toward a wall and direct content away from the wall, if the acoustic environment is not in free space. The sensing logic automatically determines the acoustic environment upon initial power up and when position changes of loudspeaker cabinets are detected. Accelerometers may detect position changes of the loudspeaker cabinets.

    Abstract: In accordance with some embodiments, a method is performed at an electronic device with a display, a touch-sensitive surface, and one or more sensors for detecting intensities of contacts on the touch-sensitive surface. The method comprises displaying a user interface that includes an editable content area that has a plurality of characters, and a content deletion control; detecting a deletion input that includes detecting a contact at a location on the touch-sensitive surface that corresponds to the content deletion control on the display; and in response to detecting the deletion input, deleting content in the editable content area based on a duration and a characteristic intensity of the contact. The method includes in accordance with a determination that the contact was maintained for a first time period without the characteristic intensity of the contact increasing above a first intensity threshold, deleting the content in the editable content area by sequentially deleting a plurality of sub-units of the content of a first type of sub-unit of the content at a rate that does not vary based on the characteristic intensity of the contact; in accordance with a determination that the contact was maintained for a second time period that is longer than the first time period without the characteristic intensity of the contact increasing above the first intensity threshold, switching to deleting the content in the editable content area by sequentially deleting a plurality of sub-units of the content of a second type of sub-unit of the content at a rate that does not vary based on the characteristic intensity of the contact, wherein the second type of sub-unit is different from the first type of sub-unit; and in accordance with a determination that the characteristic intensity of the contact increased above the first intensity threshold, deleting the content in the editable content area by sequentially deleting a plurality of sub-units of the content at a rate that varies based on the characteristic intensity of the contact.

    Abstract: An audio system that adjusts one or more beam patterns emitted by one or more loudspeaker arrays based on the preferences of users/listeners is described. The audio system includes an audio receiver that contains a listener location estimator, a listener identifier, and a voice command processor. Inputs from the listener location estimator, the listener identifier, and the voice command processor are fed into an array processor. The array processor drives the one or more loudspeaker arrays to emit beam patterns into the listening area based on inputs from each of these devices. By examining the location, preferred usage settings, and voice commands from listeners, the generated beam patterns are customized to the explicit and implicit preferences of the listeners with minimal direct input. Other embodiments are also described.

    Abstract: A method for determining the orientation of a loudspeaker relative to a listening device is described. The method simultaneously drives each transducer to emit beam patterns corresponding to distinct orthogonal audio signals. The listening device senses sounds produced by the orthogonal audio signals and analyzes the sensed audio signal to determine the spatial orientation of the loudspeaker relative to the listening device. Other embodiments are also described.
