Abstract: An electronic device includes a housing, a display at least partially within the housing, a cover positioned over the display and defining an input surface of the electronic device, a motion sensing system configured to detect a motion of the electronic device, and a touch sensor configured to detect, within a time window after the motion of the electronic device is detected, a contact of an input member of a user on the input surface of the electronic device. The electronic device is configured to determine, for a time prior to the detection of the contact, a relative motion between the input member and the input surface. In accordance with a determination that a characteristic of the relative motion satisfies a threshold condition, the electronic device may determine a second input location based at least in part on the location of the contact and the relative motion.

Abstract: The present disclosure generally relates to providing auditory features. An example method includes, at a computer system in communication with one or more input devices: while playing an audio media item of a first type, receiving, via the one or more input devices, a request to play an audio media item of a second type; in accordance with a determination that a set of concurrent audio criteria is satisfied, concurrently playing: the audio media item of the first type; and the audio media item of the second type; and in accordance with a determination that the set of concurrent audio criteria is not satisfied: ceasing to play the audio media item of the first type; and playing the audio media item of the second type.

Abstract: An eartip (600) including an eartip body having an attachment end (614) and an interfacing end (612) opposite from the attachment end (614), and including an inner eartip body (606) and an outer eartip body (608). The inner eartip body (606) has a sidewall that extends between the interfacing end (612) and the attachment end (614), and includes a groove (602) formed in an outer surface of the sidewall. The outer eartip body (608) is sized and shaped to be inserted into an ear canal and extends from the interfacing end (612) toward the attachment end (614) of the eartip (600).

Abstract: An electronic device whose enclosure or housing panel is used as part of an acoustic system is described. The panel is divided into several sub-panels. For each sub-panel, the device includes one or more actuators attached to vibrate the sub-panel. The actuator and its attached sub-panel convert an audio signal to acoustic output. Each actuator and sub-panel combination may receive a separate audio signal. The device includes a digital signal processor for controlling each of the sub-panel driving audio signals. The device may further include one or more backing frames that are attached to the panel to provide boundary conditions to the sub-panels. The boundary conditions define a resonance frequency for each sub-panel.

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.
