  • Publication number: 20230328468
    Abstract: Embodiments are provided for receiving a request to output audio at a first speaker and a second speaker of an electronic device, determining that the electronic device is oriented in a portrait orientation or a landscape orientation, identifying, based on the determined orientation, a first equalization setting for the first speaker and a second equalization setting for the second speaker, providing, for output at the first speaker, a first audio signal with the first equalization setting, and providing, for output at the second speaker, a second audio signal with the second equalization setting.

  • Patent number: 11375329
    Abstract: A method includes receiving a request to output audio at a speaker of an electronic device, determining whether the speaker of the electronic device is facing substantially towards or away from a support surface, identifying, based on whether the speaker of the electronic device is facing substantially towards or away from the support surface, an equalization setting, and providing, for output at the speaker of the electronic device, an audio signal with the equalization setting.

  • Patent number: 11163968
    Abstract: Techniques are described for identifying packages based on shipping label fingerprints. A first camera captures a first image of a label on a package when the package is in a first location within a warehouse. A first representation of the first image is generated. A second camera captures a second image of a label on a package when the package is in a second location within the warehouse. A second representation of the second image is generated. The second representation is matched to the first representation to identify the package placed in the second location.

  • Patent number: 9854374
    Abstract: Embodiments are provided for equalizing audio data for output by a speaker of an electronic device based on a local position or orientation of the electronic device. According to certain aspects, the electronic device can determine (858, 868) its local position based on various sensor data, and identify (870, 872) an appropriate equalization setting. In some cases, the electronic device can modify (876, 880) the equalization setting based on acoustic and/or optical data. The electronic device can apply (882) the modified or unmodified equalization setting to an audio signal and cause the speaker to output (886) the audio signal with the applied equalization setting.

  • Publication number: 20150031419
    Abstract: A method on a mobile device for providing an audio output to a user at a determined loudness level is described. A text input is received. A loudness level of an audio output, corresponding to the text input, is determined based on a volume setting of the mobile device and a non-linear adjustment of the volume setting. The audio output is provided to an audio output component at the determined loudness level.
