Patent number: 11888604Abstract: A server system stores a list of trusted users that are authorized to access a first electronic device's shared listening sessions. While the first electronic device is hosting a shared listening session playing back media on a second electronic device, the server system receives, from a third electronic device, a request that includes an identifier of the second electronic device. In response to the first request and in accordance with a determination that the third electronic device is associated with a user that is on the list of trusted users, the server system automatically transmits, to the third electronic device, a session identifier for the first shared listening session. The server system receives, from the third electronic device, a request to join the shared listening session, in response to the second request, provides, to the third electronic device, access to control media playback of the first listening session.Type: GrantFiled: February 22, 2022Date of Patent: January 30, 2024Assignee: Spotify ABInventors: Erik Broberg, Claes Johan Daniel Collin

Publication number: 20230209143Abstract: A first client device is associated with a first user hosting a shared playback session. While a first media content item from the shared playback session is being presented on a set of presentation devices, the first client device communicates with a set of observer devices for the shared playback session. The first client device receives a request to modify playback of the shared playback session from a second client device, the second client device being one observer device of the set of observer devices. In response to the request to modify playback of the shared playback session, the first client device determines an action to take with respect to the shared playback session. In response to determining the action to take with respect to the shared playback session, the first client device sends a command for the action to each of the set of presentation devices.Type: ApplicationFiled: December 22, 2022Publication date: June 29, 2023Inventors: Erik BROBERG, Daniel Per Åke LINDSTRAND

Publication number: 20230188785Abstract: An electronic device receives a request, from a first device of a host user, to initiate a first shared playback session for the first device and one or more additional devices. The electronic device streams media content from a first playback queue to the first device and to the one or more additional devices, the first playback queue including one or more media content items corresponding to the first shared playback session. The electronic device determines that the first device of the host user has left the first shared playback session and, in response, maintains the first playback queue to be accessed by the one or more additional devices. After the host user has left the first shared playback session, the electronic device provides one or more media content items from the first playback queue to at least one of the one or more additional devices.Type: ApplicationFiled: December 15, 2022Publication date: June 15, 2023Inventors: Perttu Santeri HERNEJÄRVI, Issra Amir OMER, Aron Joel MANUCHERI, Charlotta OLLESDOTTER, Daniel Per Åke LINDSTRAND, Mikael RAGNHULT, Mattias SVALA, Oskar KJELLIN, Lonneke VAN ES, Oskar Werkelin AHLIN, Erik BROBERG, Conor TAYLOR, Björn Håkan LINDBERG, Keenan CASSIDY

Patent number: 11082742Abstract: An electronic device stores, for a first user of a media-providing service, a listening history corresponding to media content items provided by the media-providing service that have been previously consumed by the first user. The electronic device provides a shared playback queue to a first device of the first user and a second device of a second user. The electronic device identifies a source of a first media content item of the one or more media content items in the shared playback queue. Based on the identified source of the first media content item in the shared playback queue, the electronic device determines whether to include the first media content item in the listening history of the first user. The electronic device provides information for a second media content item to the first device of the first user based on the listening history of the first user.Type: GrantFiled: February 6, 2020Date of Patent: August 3, 2021Assignee: Spotify ABInventors: Perttu Santeri Hernejärvi, Issra Amir Omer, Aron Joel Manucheri, Charlotta Ollesdotter, Daniel Per Åke Lindstrand, Mikael Ragnhult, Mattias Svala, Oskar Kjellin, Lonneke Van Es, Oskar Werkelin Ahlin, Erik Broberg, Conor Taylor, Björn Håkan Lindberg, Keenan Cassidy
