  • Publication number: 20190041958
    Abstract: Examples disclosed herein provide the ability for a computing device to determine a noise threshold to wake on ambient noises. In one example method, the computing device tracks sound, detected by a microphone of the computing device, over a period of time and, based on the sound tracked over the period of time, determines a noise threshold. The computing device tunes a sensitivity of the microphone to wake the computing device when ambient noise, detected by the microphone, is to have a signal strength equal to or exceeding the noise threshold.

  • Publication number: 20190007504
    Abstract: Example implementations relate to calibration data transmissions. For example, a computing device includes a storage device to store calibration data of an electronic device coupled to the computing device. The computing device also includes a network interface to establish a network connection with a second computing device. The computing device further includes a processor to automatically transmit, via the network connection, the calibration data to the second computing device based on a location of the second computing device relative to the computing device and based on an association with second computing device via a communication session.
