Patent 9794720 was granted and assigned to Sonos, Inc. on October, 2017 by the United States Patent and Trademark Office.
Disclosed herein are example techniques for acoustic position measurement in an example listening environment. One example includes determining a requirement for position information of a speaker-equipped device within a room in which a media playback system is located, and in response to determining the requirement for position information of the speaker-equipped device, determining a position of the speaker-equipped device relative to a microphone-equipped device of the media playback system based at least in part on a test sound emitted from the speaker-equipped device. After determining the position of the speaker-equipped device relative to the microphone-equipped device, some examples further include configuring one or more audio configuration parameters of the media playback system based on the position of the speaker-equipped device relative to the microphone-equipped device.
