Abstract:
Embodiments described herein provide for detecting presence of an object in proximity to a playback device and responsively performing one or more operations. In an example implementation, a playback device detects, via a proximity detector of the playback device, presence of an object in proximity to the playback device. In response to detecting the presence of the object, the playback device performs one or more operations.

Claim (Index 18):
A non-transitory computer readable medium having stored thereon instructions executable by a processor of a playback device to cause the processor to perform functions comprising:\n playing back audio content via one or more amplifiers carried in a housing configured to be supported by a substantially horizontal surface, the one or more amplifiers configured to drive one or more speakers; while the playback device is playing back the audio content, detecting, via a proximity sensor, presence of a hand in proximity to the playback device, wherein the proximity sensor is carried on an exterior surface of the housing and calibrated to detect the presence of a hand at a greater range than a capacitive range of a screen-less capacitive touch-control interface carried by the housing; and in response to detecting the presence of the hand in proximity to the playback device, pausing the playing back of audio content.
