Zone volume control
First Claim
1. A tangible, non-transitory computer-readable medium having instructions stored thereon that, when executed by one or more processors of a mobile device, cause the mobile device to perform a method comprising:
- displaying, via a controller interface on a touch-sensitive display of the mobile device, (i) a first volume indicator along a first volume scale, wherein the first volume indicator is at a first position corresponding to a first volume setting of a first playback zone of a media playback system comprising multiple zones including the first playback zone and a second playback zone, and (ii) a second volume indicator along a second volume scale, wherein the second volume indicator is at a second position corresponding to a second volume setting of the second playback zone, wherein the first playback zone comprises one or more first playback devices of the media playback system, and wherein the second playback zone comprises one or more second playback devices of the media playback system;
after displaying the first volume indicator at the first position and the second volume indicator at the second position, receiving, via the displayed second volume indicator on the controller interface, input data representing an input to cause the first volume setting to change to be equal to the second volume setting; and
in response to receiving the input data representing the input to cause the first volume setting to change to be equal to the second volume setting, (i) displaying the first volume indicator at a third position along the first volume scale that indicates the first volume setting is equal to the second volume setting indicated by the second volume indicator at the second position, and (ii) transmitting, to at least one first playback device of the first playback zone, a command to adjust a playback volume of the first playback zone to a volume setting corresponding to the third position along the first volume scale.

Abstract
Example techniques involve controlling playback volumes of playback zones in a network media system. An example implementation includes displaying a first volume indicator along a first volume scale, the first volume indicator at a first position corresponding to a first volume setting of a first playback zone and a second volume indicator along a second volume scale, the second volume indicator at a second position corresponding to a second volume setting of a second playback zone. The implementation involves receiving input data representing an input to cause the first volume setting to change to be equal to the second volume setting and responsively, displaying the first volume indicator at a third position indicating that the first volume setting is equal to the second volume setting, and transmitting a command to adjust a playback volume of the first playback zone to a volume setting corresponding to the third position.
