The present invention relates to an electronic device, as well as related method and system. The electronic device including at least one acoustic transducer adapted to transmit and receive acoustic signals in in a known range, wherein the device includes a transmitter unit connected to said at least one transducer for generating an acoustic signal with at least one predetermined characteristic, and a receiving device for receiving a reflected acoustic signal from an object and being connected to an analyzing unit being adapted to calculate the distance to or movement of the reflecting object and the predetermined characteristics of the transmitted signals. The analyzing unit is adapted to, based on the measured distance or movement, adjust the characteristic of the generated acoustic signal.
