Playback Session Transitions Across Different Platforms - A simplified explanation of the abstract

This abstract first appeared for US patent application 20240012610 titled 'Playback Session Transitions Across Different Platforms

Simplified Explanation

The abstract of the patent application describes a technique for transferring playback of audio content from one device to another across different domains. In this example implementation, while a first playback device is playing audio content in a first domain, a mobile device detects a trigger event and initiates playback transfer to a second domain on a second playback device. The mobile device determines playback information and sends instructions via a network interface to reproduce the first playback session in the second domain.

  • The patent application describes a method for transferring playback of audio content between different devices and domains.
  • The technique involves detecting a trigger event on a mobile device to initiate the transfer.
  • The mobile device determines playback information and sends instructions to the second device via a network interface.
  • The second device reproduces the playback session from the first device in the second domain.

Potential applications of this technology:

  • Seamless playback transfer between different devices and platforms.
  • Multi-room audio systems where playback can be transferred from one room to another.
  • Handoff of audio playback from a mobile device to a stationary device.

Problems solved by this technology:

  • Eliminates interruptions in audio playback when transitioning between devices or domains.
  • Provides a seamless and uninterrupted listening experience across different platforms.
  • Simplifies the process of transferring playback from one device to another.

Benefits of this technology:

  • Enhanced user experience with seamless playback transitions.
  • Flexibility to move audio playback between different devices and domains.
  • Improved convenience and convenience for users who want to switch devices during playback.


Original Abstract Submitted

as noted above, example techniques relate to playback transitions between platforms. in an example implementation, while a first playback device is playing back audio content during a first playback session in a first domain, a mobile device detecting a first event configured as a trigger to transfer playback to a second domain on a second playback device. in response to detecting the first event, the mobile device determining playback information for the playback session and sends, via a network interface, instructions to initiate a playback session in the second domain to reproduce the first playback session in the first domain.
