Abstract
Techniques related to balancing audio for mobile devices are discussed. Such techniques may include detecting a speaker of the device is at least partially obstructed, determining an audio output from the device is impeded due to the speaker being at least partially obstructed, and increasing an output from the speaker and/or an alternative speaker based on the audio output from the device being impeded.
Claims25
A method for performing audio balancing for a device comprising:
- detecting a speaker of the device is at least partially obstructed;
- determining an audio output from the device is impeded due to the speaker being at least partially obstructed;
- and
- increasing an output from at least one of the speaker or a second speaker based on the audio output from the device being impeded.
A device comprising:
- at least one speaker to provide audio output;
- at least one sensor adjacent to the speaker to detect an obstruction of the speaker;
- at least one microphone to detect an audio sample from the device;
- and
- a central processor to determine, based on a signal from the at least one sensor, the at least one speaker is obstructed, to determine, based on the audio sample, audio from the device is impeded, and to increase an output from at least one of the speaker or a second speaker based on the audio from the device being impeded.
At least one machine readable medium comprising a plurality of instructions that, in response to being executed on a device, cause the device to perform audio balancing by:
- detecting a speaker of the device is at least partially obstructed;
- determining an audio output from the device is impeded due to the speaker being at least partially obstructed;
- and
- increasing an output from at least one of the speaker or a second speaker based on the audio output from the device being impeded.
