Abstract
Provided are communication devices having adaptable features and methods for implementation. One device includes at least one adaptable component and a processor configured to detect an external cue relevant to operation of the at least one adaptable component, to determine a desired state for the at least one adaptable component corresponding to the external cue, and then to dynamically adapt the at least one adaptable component to substantially produce the desired state. One adaptable component comprises at least one adaptable speaker system. Another adaptable component comprises at least one adaptable antenna.

(canceled)
A device comprising:
- circuitry configured to:
- measure a current draw of an adaptable speaker system over a period of time;
- determine a complex impedance of the adaptable speaker system based on the measured current draw over the period of time;
- and
- dynamically adjust an output to the adaptable speaker system based on the determined complex impedance.
A device comprising:
- an adaptable speaker system that includes at least one speaker, the at least one speaker being configured to:
- produce a speaker output;
- and
- receive an echo produced by an interaction of the speaker output with an object;
- and
- circuitry configured to determine a proximity of the object with respect to the device, based on the received echo.
A device comprising:
- an adaptable speaker system that includes at least one speaker, the at least one speaker being configured to:
- produce a speaker output;
- and
- receive an echo produced by an interaction of the speaker output with a user;
- and
- circuitry configured to determine a proximity of the user with respect to the device, based on the received echo.
