Acoustic signatures
First Claim
1. A tangible, non-transitory computer-readable medium having stored thereon instructions executable by a processor, wherein the instructions, when executed by the processor, cause a controller device to perform functions comprising:
- receiving, via a microphone of the controller device, an audio signal played by a playback device, the audio signal indicating network information corresponding to the playback device;
identifying the playback device based on the network information; and
responsively, modifying a user interface on the controller device based on the identification of the playback device.

Abstract
Embodiments described herein provide for acoustic signatures in a playback system. An example implementation involves receiving, from a microphone of the controller device, an audio signal played by a playback device, the audio signal indicating network information corresponding to the playback device. The example implementation further involves identifying the playback device based on the network information and responsively, modifying a user interface on the controller device based on the identification of the playback device.
