Abstract: Example techniques relate to calibration interfaces that facilitate calibration of a playback device. An example implementation may involve outputting a sequence of prompts to guide calibration of a playback device during a calibration sequence comprising (i) a spatial calibration component and (ii) a spectral calibration component. Outputting the sequence of prompts includes outputting one or more first audio prompts representing a guide to perform the spatial calibration component of the calibration sequence. The spatial calibration component involves calibration of the playback device for a particular location within an environment. Outputting the sequence of prompts also includes outputting one or more first second prompts representing a guide to perform the spectral calibration component of the calibration sequence. The spectral calibration component involves calibration of the playback device for the environment.

Abstract: The present invention relates to a scanning tool for text transmissions which identifies potentially sensitive text. In exemplary embodiments, a guardian application scans regular email (and calendar appointments) subject, message body, and attachments for key words that identify if a document is potentially sensitive and it notifies the user with specifics if key words are found. If the guardian application cannot scan (either an image or a document with text that cannot be scanned), it notifies the user, requests them to open and review the document, and requires the user to select if they have or have not reviewed the document. It will not send the email if the user selects that they have not reviewed the document.
