This takes development time as well as money
Furthermore, since most updates require user intervention (e.g., to accept an update offered by the system), maintaining a common UI across multiple control devices may mean that the user must take action on each control device

Embodiment Construction

[0017] The network audio system described herein is adapted to stream digital audio data to one or more of a plurality of audio playback devices connected to a network such as a local area network (LAN). Each audio playback device is capable of playing the audio data through one or more speakers. The system uses computing devices such as PCs, Macs, smartphones, and tablets loaded with appropriate software as system control devices that allow users to log into their accounts and control which music is played and which audio playback device is used to play it . These control devices can support multiple operating systems, such as iOS, Windows (Windows) and Android (Android). In order to provide a common user experience between all system control devices, all of them have the same UI. Using the same UI on two or more (eg, all) system control devices can be accomplished by having a common UI program stored locally on each control device. A native application written for the OS ...

Abstract

A method for implementing user interface (UI) control in a network audio system comprising a plurality of audio playback devices adapted to play audio and operatively connected to a network over which audio data is transferred from a digital The audio source is delivered to the audio playback device, wherein the network audio system further includes a control device operatively connected to the network and having a display adapted to display a representation of the UI, and wherein the control device includes an operating system (OS) and an Native applications and memory written by the OS. There is a local UI program stored in the memory of the control device. When the native application is started, the partial UI program is loaded in the control device. The loaded UI is then displayed on the control device display.

Description

Background technique [0001] The present disclosure relates to user interfaces in network audio systems. [0002] The audio system may be arranged to stream digital audio data to one or more of a plurality of audio playback devices connected to a network, such as a local area network (LAN). Each audio playback device is capable of playing the audio data through one or more speakers. The system can use computing devices such as PCs, Macs, smartphones, and tablets loaded with appropriate software as system control devices that allow the user to log into an account and control which music is played and which audio playback device is used to play it. music. These control devices may not all use the same operating system (OS). [0003] In order to provide a common user experience on any system control device, it is ideal that all control devices have the same graphical user interface (UI). In order to keep all user interfaces (UIs) the same, every time the UI for one OS is modif...
