Patent attributes
Techniques for performing audio-based device location determinations are described. A system may send, to a first device, a command to output audio requesting a location of the first device be determined. A second device may receive the audio and send, to the system, data representing the second device received the audio, where the received data includes spectral energy data representing a spectral energy of the audio as received by the second device. The system may, using the spectral energy data, determine attenuation data representing an attenuation experienced by the audio as it traveled from the first device to the second device. The system may generate, based on the attenuation data, spatial relationship data representing a spatial relationship between the first device and the second device, where the spatial relationship data is usable to determine a device for outputting a response to a subsequently received user input.
