  • Patent number: 11042349
    Abstract: An electronic device that coordinates a playback operation is described. In particular, an interface circuit in the electronic device may calculate, based on differences between transmit times when packets were transmitted by a second electronic device and receive times of the packets, relative drift as a function of time between a clock in the interface circuit and a second clock in the second electronic device. Then, the interface circuit may adjust, based on the relative drift, a clock circuit that provides the clock to eliminate the relative drift, and may determine a remaining time offset between the clock and the second clock. Next, the interface circuit may modify a future time when the second electronic device is to perform the playback operation based on the remaining time offset to determine a corrected future time, and may transmit information to the second electronic device specifying the corrected future time.

  • Patent number: 10509625
    Abstract: An electronic device that reduces relative drift is described. In particular, an interface circuit in the electronic device may calculate, based on differences between transmit times when packets were transmitted by a second electronic device and receive times of the packets, relative drift as a function of time between a clock in the interface circuit and a second clock in the second electronic device. Then, the interface circuit may adjust, based on the relative drift, a clock circuit that provides the clock to eliminate the relative drift, and may store the adjustments to the clock circuit. Furthermore, when a wireless reset occurs, the interface circuit may adapt the clock circuit based on the stored adjustments to reduce the relative drift while the interface circuit restores frequency lock with the second clock based on additional packets with additional transmit times that are received from the second electronic device.

  • Patent number: 10120642
    Abstract: A processor in an electronic device may coordinate an interface clock in the electronic device with a second interface clock in a second electronic device based on time-coordination information received in packets from the second electronic device. Then, the processor captures timing information associated with the interface clock provided by an interface clock circuit to increase a resolution of a system clock. Moreover, the processor may track, using the timing information, relative drift as a function of time between the system clock and the interface clock, and may determine, based on the relative drift, an estimated time offset between the interface clock and the system clock at the future time. Next, the processor modifies a future time when the electronic device is to perform the playback operation based on the estimated time offset to determine a corrected future time, and may perform the playback operation at the corrected future time.
