Abstract:
Aspects of a multi-orientation playback device including at least one microphone array are discussed. A method may include determining an orientation of the playback device which includes at least one microphone array and determining at least one microphone training response for the playback device from a plurality of microphone training responses based on the orientation of the playback device. The at least one microphone array can detect a sound input, and the location information of a source of the sound input can be determined based on the at least one microphone training response and the detected sound input. Based on the location information of the source, the directional focus of the at least one microphone array can be adjusted, and the sound input can be captured based on the adjusted directional focus.

Claim (Index 10):
Tangible, non-transitory computer-readable medium having stored thereon instructions executable by the one or more processors of a playback device to cause the playback device to perform functions comprising:\n determining that the playback device is in a particular orientation based on an indication from an orientation sensor on the playback device; selecting a subset of a set of microphones on the playback device for sound input detection based on the determination that the playback device is in the particular orientation; detecting, via the selected subset of the set of microphones, a sound input; processing the sound input detected via the selected subset of the set microphones; and executing one or more commands contained in the processed sound input.
