  • Patent number: 11907614
    Abstract: Examples described herein involve expanding playback of a media item from a first playback device to a second playback device. In one example, while a first playback device is playing a media item as part of a first zone, the first playback device identifies that a second playback device has moved to a location that is within a given physical proximity of the first playback. The first playback device determines that playback is to be expanded to the second playback device, and transmits a command to cause the second playback device to (i) join the first zone and (ii) begin to play the media item in synchrony with the first playback device.
    Type: Grant

  • Patent number: 9965243
    Abstract: Examples described herein involve expanding playback of a media item from one playback device to another playback device. In an example implementation, while a first playback device is part of a first zone, the first playback device identifies that a second playback device has moved to a location that is within a given physical proximity of the first playback device. The first playback device determines that playback is to be expanded from the second playback device, and responsively, joins the a second zone that comprises the second playback device and initiates playback of media in synchrony with the second playback device.

  • Patent number: 9329831
    Abstract: Examples described herein involve expanding playback of a media item from a first playback device to a second playback device. In one example, a first playback device of a first zone, identifies a second playback device within a proximity of the first playback device, determines that the second playback device is playing a media item as part of a second zone, and based on the determination, joins the second zone and begins playing the media item in synchrony with the second playback device. In another example, a first playback device, while playing a media item as part of a first zone, determines that a second playback device of a second zone has entered a proximity of the first playback device, and responsively, causes the second playback device to join the first zone and begin playing the media item in synchrony with the first playback device.

  • Patent number: 9330096
    Abstract: Examples described herein involve expanding playback of a media item from a first playback device to a second playback device. In one example, a first playback device, while playing a media item as part of a first zone, identifies a second playback device within a proximity of the first playback device, determines that the second playback device is in a second zone, and responsively, causes the second playback device to join the first zone and begin playing the media item in synchrony with the first playback device. In another example, a first playback device of a first zone determines that a second playback device playing a media item as part of a second zone has entered a proximity of the first playback device, and based on the determination, joins the second zone and begins playing the media item in synchrony with the second playback device.
