Playback device control

A tangible, non-transitory computer-readable medium having stored therein instructions executable by one of more processors for causing a playback device to perform functions comprising:

• receiving orientation data from the orientation sensor indicating an orientation of the playback device;
• receiving data indicating detection of a user input, where the detected user input comprises a swipe from a first location on an array of proximity sensors to a second location on the array of proximity sensors, wherein the playback device comprises an enclosure comprising a first external surface where out-ward facing speakers of the playback device are positioned, a second external surface, a third external surface, and a fourth external surface, where:
• the first external surface is elongated;
• the second, third, and fourth external surfaces intersect the first external surface;
• the third external surface is smaller than the fourth external surface and intersects the second and fourth external surfaces;
• and
• the enclosure is configured to be placed in at least two orientations, where:
• in a first orientation the enclosure rests on the fourth external surface and the second external surface forms a top surface of the playback device;
• and
• in a second orientation the enclosure rests on the third external surface and the second external surface forms a lateral surface of the playback device,
• and wherein the array of proximity sensor underlie the second external surface of the playback device;
• and
• in response to receiving the data indicating detection of a user input comprising a swipe from the first location to the second location, causing a playback volume of the playback device to change, wherein;
• the change in playback volume comprises an increase in playback volume when the orientation data of the playback device indicates that the enclosure is in the first orientation, and the change in playback volume comprises a decrease in playback volume when the orientation data indicates that the enclosure is in the second orientation.

The method to be performed by a playback device comprising an enclosure that comprises:

• a first external surface where out-ward facing speakers of the playback device are positioned, a second external surface, a third external surface, and a fourth external surface, where:
• the first external surface is elongated;
• the second, third, and fourth external surfaces intersect the first external surface;
• the third external surface is smaller than the fourth external surface and intersects the second and fourth external surfaces;
• and
• the enclosure is configured to be placed in at least two orientations, where:
• in a first orientation the enclosure rests on the fourth external surface and the second external surface forms a top surface of the playback device;
• and
• in a second orientation the enclosure rests on the third external surface and the second external surface forms a lateral surface of the playback device;
• an array of proximity sensors underlying the second external surface of the playback device;
• and
• an orientation sensor;
• the method comprising
• receiving orientation data from the orientation sensor indicating an orientation of the playback device;
• receiving data indicating detection of a user input, where the detected user input comprises a swipe from a first location on the array of proximity sensors to a second location on the array of proximity sensors;
• and
• in response to receiving the data indicating detection of a user input comprising a swipe from the first location to the second location, causing a playback volume of the playback device to change, wherein:
• the change in playback volume comprises an increase in playback volume when the orientation data indicates that the enclosure is in the first orientation, and the change in playback volume comprises a decrease in playback volume when the orientation data indicates that the enclosure is in the second orientation.
