Media playback system controller having multiple graphical interfaces
First Claim
1. A method comprising:
- causing, via a computing device, a graphical display to provide a first graphical interface within a display region of the graphical display, wherein the first graphical interface comprises (i) a first input region and (ii) a first representation of a media item;
receiving a first input data indicating a selection within the first input region;
based on the received first input data, causing the graphical display to provide a second graphical interface within the display region of the graphical display at the same time as the first graphical interface, wherein the second graphical interface comprises (i) an active region, and (ii) a second representation of the media item, and wherein the second graphical interface within the display region is distinct from the first graphical interface within the display region;
receiving a second input data indicating a selection within the active region; and
based on the received second input data, causing the second graphical interface to display one or more media playback controls to control playback of the media item on one or more playback devices that are distinct from the computing device.

14. Tangible, non-transitory, computer-readable media having instructions stored thereon, wherein the instructions, when executed by at least one processor, cause a computing device to perform a method comprising:
-
causing a graphical display to provide a first graphical interface within a display region of the graphical display, wherein the first graphical interface comprises (i) a first input region and (ii) a first representation of a media item; receiving a first input data indicating a selection within the first input region; based on the received first input data, causing the graphical display to provide a second graphical interface within the display region of the graphical display at the same time as the first graphical interface, wherein the second graphical interface comprises (i) an active region, and (ii) a second representation of the media item, and wherein the second graphical interface within the display region is distinct from the first graphical interface within the display region; receiving a second input data indicating a selection within the active region; and based on the received second input data, causing the second graphical interface to display one or more media playback controls to control playback of the media item on one or more playback devices that are distinct from the computing device. - View Dependent Claims (15, 16, 17, 18, 19, 21)

20. A computing device comprising:
-
a network interface; a display; one or more processors; and computer-readable media having instructions stored therein, wherein the instructions, when executed by the one or more processors, cause the computing device to perform functions comprising; causing the display to provide a first graphical interface within a display region of the display, wherein the first graphical interface comprises (i) a first input region and (ii) a first representation of a media item; receiving a first input data indicating a selection within the first input region; based on the received first input data, causing the display to provide a second graphical interface within the display region of the display at the same time as the first graphical interface, wherein the second graphical interface comprises (i) an active region, and (ii) a second representation of the media item, and wherein the second graphical interface within the display region is distinct from the first graphical interface within the display region; receiving a second input data indicating a selection within the active region; and based on the received second input data, causing the second graphical interface to provide one or more media playback controls to control playback of the media item on one or more playback devices that are distinct from the computing device. - View Dependent Claims (22)
