Abstract:
Wireless-enabled loudspeaker includes a wooden capacitive touch user interface. The loudspeaker may comprise at least one electroacoustic transducer, a processor in communication with the at least one electroacoustic transducer, and a wooden exterior surface comprising a capacitive touch user interface that allows a user to control operation of the loudspeaker. The wooden exterior surface acts a dielectric for the capacitive touch user interface. The loudspeaker may comprise a wireless transceiver circuit for receiving and transmitting wireless communication signals via a wireless network. The wireless transceiver circuit may receive wirelessly audio content from streaming audio content servers that are connected to the Internet. The capacitive touch user interface comprises a plurality of user control icons etched in the wooden exterior surface, and a plurality of capacitive sense electrodes located under the wooden exterior surface.

Claim (Index 20):
A loudspeaker comprising:\n an enclosure comprising a base surface, a top surface, and one or more sidewalls, wherein:\n the enclosure defines a volume; \n the enclosure is free-standing when sitting on the base surface; and \n the top surface comprises a dielectric material and does not include protrusions extending therefrom; \n a low-frequency speaker and a high-frequency speaker within the volume defined by the enclosure; one or more circuit boards within the enclosure, wherein the one or more circuit boards comprise a first circuit board that is below the top surface and above the speakers; a wireless communication circuit chip inside the enclosure and connected to the one or more circuit boards, wherein the wireless communication circuit chip is for receiving and transmitting wireless signals to and from the loudspeaker; a processor chip inside the enclosure and connected to the one or more circuit boards, wherein the processor chip is separate from and in communication with the wireless communication circuit chip; at least one capacitive sense electrode connected to the first circuit board such that the at least one capacitive sense electrode is between the first circuit board and the top surface, wherein:\n the at least one capacitive sense electrode forms part of a capacitive touch user interface for the loudspeaker that allows a user of the loudspeaker to control operation of the loudspeaker through touching the top surface of the loudspeaker; and \n the dielectric material of the top surface forms a dielectric for the at least one capacitive sense electrode of the capacitive touch user interface.
