Abstract
Audio playback equipment includes microphones, a loudspeaker, emitter means arranged to emit a sound detection signal, and at least one processor component arranged: to acquire detection audio signals produced by the microphones as a result of picking up the detection sound signal; from the audio detection signals, to detect a run of maskings in which at least two distinct microphones are masked in succession; to analyze a detected run of maskings so as to detect a command slide made by a user on the housing via at least two distinct microphones; and to cause at least one predetermined action to take place as a result of detecting said command slide.
