Abstract:
Examples described herein involve a playback device with an enclosure including a first external surface where out-ward facing speakers of the playback device are positioned and a second external surface substantially orthogonal to the first external surface, an array of proximity sensors underlying the second external surface of the playback device; and an orientation sensor. The playback device receives data user input, the user input comprising a first physical contact at a first location on the array of proximity sensors followed by a second physical contact at a second location on the array of proximity sensors; and in response to receiving the data, causes a playback volume of the playback device to change. The playback volume increases if the orientation sensor indicates that the enclosure is in a first orientation and decrease if the orientation sensor indicates that the enclosure is in a second orientation.

Claim (Index 1):
A playback device comprising:\n an enclosure comprising a first external surface where out-ward facing speakers of the playback device are positioned and a second external surface substantially orthogonal to the first external surface; an array of proximity sensors underlying the second external surface of the playback device; an orientation sensor; a processor; and memory having stored thereon instructions executable by the processor to cause the processor to perform functions comprising:\n receiving data indicating a user input, the user input comprising a first physical contact at a first location on the array of proximity sensors followed by a second physical contact at a second location on the array of proximity sensors; and \n in response to receiving the data, causing a playback volume of the playback device to change, wherein:\n the change in playback volume comprises an increase in playback volume if the orientation sensor indicates that the enclosure is in a first orientation, and the change in playback volume comprises a decrease in playback volume if the orientation sensor indicates that the enclosure is in a second orientation.
