Abstract: Various arrangements for establishing a link between two electronic devices are presented herein. A pairing mode may be activated to establish the link. A first electronic wireless device can determine that a distance to a second wireless electronic device meets a distance threshold criterion. In response to the pairing mode being activated and the distance to the second wireless electronic device meeting the distance threshold criterion, a graphic element, such as a glow effect, can be presented indicative of direction and distance to the second wireless electronic device.

Abstract: A computing system can implement a computer-implemented method for providing selective control of an acoustic environment of a user. The computer-implemented method can include determining a selected audio source of a plurality of audio sources in an environment of a user based at least in part on a selection user input at a peripheral device, where the peripheral device is in communication with the computing system. The computer-implemented method can include receiving a configuration user input at the peripheral device, where the configuration user input is indicative of an intent to configure an audio characteristic associated with the selected audio source. The computer-implemented method can include, in response to receiving the configuration user input, configuring the audio characteristic associated with the selected audio source based at least in part on the configuration user input.

Abstract: Systems and methods for generating audio presentations are provided. A method can include obtaining data indicative of an acoustic environment for a user; obtaining data indicative of one or more events; generating, by an artificial intelligence system, an audio presentation for the user based at least in part on the data indicative of the one or more events and the data indicative of the acoustic environment for the user; and presenting the audio presentation to the user. The acoustic environment can include at least one of a first audio signal playing on the computing system or a second audio signal associated with a surrounding environment of the user. The one or more events can include at least one of information to be conveyed by the computing system to the user or at least a portion of the second audio signal associated with the surrounding environment of the user.

Abstract: A method provides a notification on a wearable audio device. The method includes detecting a physical configuration of the wearable audio device. The physical configuration is determined using information provided by one or more sensors on the wearable audio device. At least one notification routed from a mobile device which is connected with the wearable audio device is provided in a manner corresponding to the determined physical configuration.
