Abstract
Disclosed herein are system, apparatus, article of manufacture, method and/or computer program product embodiments, and/or combinations and sub-combinations thereof, for controlling functions of an audio responsive electronic device based on a presence detector (e.g., a motion sensor) to improve power usage and functional performance. In some embodiments, an audio responsive electronic device operates to intelligently turn on and turn off components in response to the detected presence of a user. In some embodiments, an audio responsive electronic device operates to suppress noise from the display device (or other sources of noise), and enhance audio commands from a user (or other sources of audio commands). In some embodiments, a media device is configured to adjust a transmission pattern to an audio responsive electronic device based on user position.
