Abstract:
Multiple audio output devices are individually triggered to generate an acoustic identification signal. A controller device can perform a comparison of the acoustic identification signal from each of the multiple audio output devices. The output from one or multiple audio output devices is controlled based on the comparison.
Abstract:
A set of audio output devices may be established and configured to output channel specific audio. Once established, the channel configuration may be changed and updated in response to events such as changes to user preference, or the addition or subtraction of audio output devices to the network. In some embodiments, the reconfiguration may be performed on the fly while audio content is being outputted by the audio output devices.
Abstract:
A system and method for facilitating playback of media resources by a playback device. The system receives a selection input for one or more media resources. The selection input may correspond to a user input provided on a device other than the playback device. The system communicates the selection input to a first network service storing the one or more media resources, and receives, from the first network service, playback links for accessing the one or more media resources. The system then transmits the received playback links, over a network, to a playback device to enable the playback device to retrieve the one or more media resources from the first network service.
Abstract:
One or more discovery communications are received by a user device over a wireless communication medium. The one or more discovery communications can be communicated using a Layer 2 protocol. The one or more discovery communications can be processed to determine information included with the one or more discovery communications. The information can include an identifier of the wireless device and dynamic information about an active process of the wireless device. When the user device is not connected to the discovered wireless device, the user device displays a representation of the wireless device. The representation can include information determined from the one or more discovery communications, including the identifier of the wireless device and content that is based on the dynamic information.
