Disclosed herein are system, apparatus, article of manufacture, computer-implemented method, and/or computer-program product (computer-readable non-transitory storage medium) embodiments, and/or combinations and sub-combinations thereof, for an environmentally aware remote control. An example embodiment operates by at least one processor detecting a first signal and a second signal and receiving information corresponding to at least a physical position where a user is located relative to at least the first physical source. The at least one processor may further operate by calculating a time difference between a given sample of the first signal and a corresponding sample of a second signal at the physical position where the user is located, and adjusting a relative timing of the first signal with respect to the second signal. In some further embodiments, the at least one processor may adjust other attributes of either signal besides timing, e.g., audio characteristics such as volume, pitch, other filtering, etc.

The present disclosure relates to an acoustic position determination system that includes a mobile communication device and at least one base transmitter unit. The mobile communication device is configured to transmit and receive acoustic signals. Due to relative movements between the mobile communication device and the base transmitter unit, frequencies of the received signals shift due to Doppler effect. The mobile communication device is configured to compensate Doppler frequency shifts in the received acoustic signals prior to performing a deconvolution decoding process. The mobile communication device is further configured to compensate Doppler frequency shifts and perform deconvolution decoding process on acoustic signals received from multiple signal transmission paths.

A sensor may be automatically calibrated during manufacture by providing a sensor processing unit having an integrated sensor, performing a check to determine if the integrated sensor has been previously calibrated upon a reset. When it has been determined the integrated sensor has not been previously calibrated, an automated calibration pattern may be imparted to the sensor so that a calibration parameter is determined.
