Assignee: SONOS, INC.
Field: Audio-visual technology (Electrical engineering)
Classification: CPC H  G | IPC G  H

Claim 9:
10. A system comprising a playback device and a server, the playback device comprising:
a first network interface;
an audio transducer;
a microphone;
at least one first processor;
a housing carrying the first network interface, audio transducer, the microphone, and the at least one first processor; and
first data storage including first instructions that are executable by at least one first processor such that the playback device is configured to:
capture, via the microphone, a voice input;
send, via the first network interface to the server, data representing the voice input;
play back, via the audio transducer, first audio content;
capture, via the microphone, audio data representing reflections of the first audio content within an environment in which the playback device is located;
determine an acoustic response of the environment from the captured audio data;
query a dataset for a particular stored acoustic response that corresponds to the determined acoustic response of the environment in which the playback device is located, wherein the dataset relates a plurality of stored acoustic responses to respective calibrations;
apply to the playback device a particular calibration returned from the query of the dataset; and
while the particular calibration is applied, play back, via the audio transducer, second audio content, and, the server comprising:
a second network interface;
at least one second processor; and
second data storage including second instructions that are executable by at least one second processor such that the server is configured to:
receive, via the second network interface, the data representing the voice input; and
process the voice input.
