Abstract
A device-agnostic system for detecting one or more sound profiles, each of the one or more sound profiles including at least one spectrogram produced from sound associated with a touch input and mapped to a control operation for a device, the system including a transducer and a processor. The transducer can detect a sound produced from touching a surface and produce an electrical signal from the detected sound. The processor is configured to receive the electrical signal from the transducer, convert the received electrical signal to a spectrogram, determine, using image recognition, that the spectrogram meets or surpasses a similarity threshold to one of the one or more sound profiles, and change at least one characteristic of the device based on the control operation mapped to the determined sound profile.
