Publication number: 20230095902Abstract: In response to receiving the playback mode indication, a playback device is caused to operate within a particular playback mode. After initiating operation of the particular playback mode, the playback device accesses a particular set of routines that is associated with the particular playback mode. The particular set of routines are configured to cause the playback device to play back particular media content with a particular user-defined acoustic parameter, and to configure the playback device to advance between one or more routines within the particular set of routines in response to one or more user interface interactions. The playback device receives the one or more user interface interactions at a user interface associated with the playback device. After receiving the one or more user interface interactions, the playback device executes at least one routine selected from the particular set of routines.Type: ApplicationFiled: September 27, 2022Publication date: March 30, 2023Inventors: Shilpa SARODE, Joshua SALIT, Nikit WAGHELA, Graham BULLIS, Brandon WRIGHT, Luis VEGA

Publication number: 20230102244Abstract: A control device receives one or more first user inputs associating a particular playback mode with one or more playback devices and one or more user-defined acoustic parameters for particular media content that is associated with the particular playback mode. The control device associates a particular trigger condition with the particular playback mode. The particular trigger condition comprises a condition that causes the particular playback mode to be executed. The control device receives one or more second user inputs to activate a particular routine that is associated with the particular playback mode. After receiving the one or more second user inputs, the control device transmits a message that causes the one or more playback devices to play back the particular media content according to the one or more user-defined acoustic parameters.Type: ApplicationFiled: September 27, 2022Publication date: March 30, 2023Inventors: Shilpa SARODE, Joshua SALIT, Nikit WAGHELA, Graham BULLIS, Brandon WRIGHT, Luis VEGA
