Claim:
1. A speaker system, comprising: a case; an audio input structured to couple to an audio device and receive a program audio signal from the audio device; one or more speakers configured to play an audio output based on the program audio signal, the audio output causing a vibration of the case; an accelerometer coupled to the case and configured to detect the vibration of the case as well as a user tap on the case; a computer processor configured to identify a user gesture that includes the tap on the case, to identify the tap apart from the case vibration by processing the detected vibration of the case and the detected user tap on the case based on information from the program audio signal to separate the detected user tap from the detected vibration; and to commence a particular function when a user gesture associated with the particular function is identified by the processor; and a user-accessible input button coupled to the case and to the computer processor, the computer processor further being configured to identify the user gesture based, at least in part, on a condition of the input button.
