  • Patent number: 11330155
    Abstract: This disclosure describes a voice-controlled electronic device that includes a housing and a mounting component. The housing includes a translucent cover attached to a cylindrical-shaped unibody enclosure. The electronic device further includes a microphone array disposed near a first end within the housing, a speaker box disposed within the housing, and a printed circuit board assembly disposed within the housing. Additionally, the electronic device includes a camera disposed within the housing and attached to the printed circuit board assembly, and a depth sensor that includes a depth camera and a projector. In some instances, the camera and the depth sensor point substantially in a direction of the translucent cover. Furthermore, the electronic device includes a light ring that protrudes from a surface of the translucent display and surrounds a lens of the camera.
