Updating zone configuration in a multi-zone media system
First Claim
1. A tangible, non-transitory computer-readable medium having stored thereon instructions, wherein the instruction, when executed, cause a computing device to perform functions comprising:
- receiving, from a first playback device of a media playback system, a message indicating a first zone configuration, wherein the media playback system comprises a plurality of zones and associated playback devices for playing back audio content, and wherein the first zone configuration comprises at least a first zone associated with at least the first playback device of the media playback system and a second zone associated with at least a second playback device of the media playback system;
displaying, based on the first zone configuration, at least a first representation corresponding to the first zone and a second representation corresponding to the second zone;
while at least one of the first and the second zones is playing back the audio content;
receiving, at the computing device, an input to form a zone group comprising each of the playback devices of the media playback system;
based on the input, transmitting a message to at least one of the playback devices of the media playback system, wherein the message indicates a second zone configuration, and wherein the second zone configuration comprises each of the zones in the media playback system; and
displaying, based on the second zone configuration, a third representation corresponding to the zone group.

10. A method comprising:
-
receiving, by a computing device from a first playback device of a media playback system, a message indicating a first zone configuration, wherein the media playback system comprises a plurality of zones and associated playback devices for playing back audio content, and wherein the first zone configuration comprises at least a first zone associated with at least the first playback device of the media playback system and a second zone associated with at least a second playback device of the media playback system; displaying, by the computing device based on the first zone configuration, at least a first representation corresponding to the first zone and a second representation corresponding to the second zone; while at least one of the first and second zones is playing back the audio content; receiving, at the computing device, an input to form a zone group comprising each of the playback devices of the media playback system; based on the input, transmitting a message, by the computing device, to at least one of the playback devices of the media playback system, wherein the message indicates a second zone configuration, and wherein the second zone configuration comprises each of the zones in the media playback system; and displaying, by the computing device based on the second zone configuration, a third representation corresponding to the zone group. - View Dependent Claims (11, 12, 13, 14, 15, 16, 17)

18. A computing device comprising:
-
a processor; and tangible, non-transitory computer-readable memory having stored thereon instructions executable by the processor, wherein the instructions, when executed, cause the computing device to perform functions comprising; receiving, from a first playback device of a media playback system, a message indicating a first zone configuration, wherein the media playback system comprises a plurality of zones and associated playback devices for playing back audio content, and wherein the first zone configuration comprises at least a first zone associated with at least the first playback device of the media playback system and a second zone associated with at least a second playback device of the media playback system; displaying, based on the first zone configuration, at least a first representation corresponding to the first zone and a second representation corresponding to the second zone; while at least one of the first and second zones is playing back the audio content; receiving, at the computing device, an input to form a zone group comprising each of the playback devices of the media playback system; based on the input, transmitting a message to at least one of the playback devices of the media playback system, wherein the message indicates a second zone configuration, and wherein the second zone configuration comprises each of the zones in the media playback system; and displaying, based on the second zone configuration, a third representation corresponding to the zone group. - View Dependent Claims (19, 20)
