Heres a big guess .. i mean.. i a wild stab in the dark in psuedocode.

ActiveContact = In sonar cone, with X amout of surface area visible, for Y seconds.


If NoActiveContact
then Listen

If HaveActiveContact
then Ping
else Listen

Only one who can say for sure is the developers. Everything i know, is what was learned from Sh3 from various sources and own observations.
That sounds quite sensible.
