Abstract:
1. A method comprising: determining, by a mobile computing device, an orientation of the mobile computing device, wherein the mobile computing device comprises a first microphone-speaker system and a second microphone-speaker system that each provide microphone and speaker capabilities, and wherein determining the orientation of the mobile computing device comprises: enabling, by the mobile computing device, the first microphone-speaker system to operate as a speaker device responsive to and based on the determined orientation, wherein enabling the first microphone-speaker system to operate as a speaker device allows the first microphone-speaker system to provide audio output and disallows the mobile computing device to process audio input received from the first microphone-speaker system; and enabling, by the mobile computing device, the second microphone-speaker system to operate as a microphone responsive to and based on the determined orientation, wherein enabling the second microphone-speaker system to operate as a microphone allows the mobile computing device to process audio input received from the second microphone-speaker system, and disallows the second microphone-speaker system to provide audio output.
