  • Playback transitions
    Patent number: 11356777
    Abstract: Examples described herein relate to transitioning a playback session between portable playback devices such as “smart” headphones, earbuds, and handheld speakers with playback devices of a zone-based media playback system. Exemplary techniques facilitate continuity of playback when transitioning between locations (e.g., from at home to on-the-go or vice versa) or between listening paradigms (e.g., personal or out-loud playback of audio content). An example implementation includes detecting a swap trigger, determining the source playback device(s) and target playback device(s), and performing a playback session swap between the source playback device(s) and target playback device(s).

  • SYSTEMS AND METHODS OF PROVIDING SPATIAL AUDIO ASSOCIATED WITH A SIMULATED ENVIRONMENT
    Publication number: 20210136509
    Abstract: Systems and methods for providing spatial audio are disclosed herein. In one example, the method includes receiving a first position of a first playback device relative to a user in a listening environment; receiving a second position of a second playback device relative to the user in the listening environment; transmitting, to a media content provider, location data corresponding to the first and second positions; receiving, from the media content provider, virtual media audio content associated with a virtual environment, the virtual media audio content comprising first and second audio signals generated based on the transmitted location data, wherein the generated first and second audio signals include one or more audio cues configured to enable the user to spatially perceive a location of a virtual object within the listening environment; and playing back the first audio signal via the first playback device in synchrony with playing back the second audio signal via the second playback device.
