Abstract

An apparatus for switching playback of media content from a first playback device to a second playback device through a plurality of playback devices may include a controller programmed to: detect a portable device from including the first playback device The position change of the first media area to the second media area comprising the second playback device, thereby determining the playback position of the currently played media content provided from the first media source to the first playback device; a second media source available at the media area; and controlling the second media source to transmit the currently played media content to the second playback device to play back at the playback position from the first playback The device is swapped to the second playback device.

Description

technical field [0001] Aspects disclosed herein relate generally to media content rendering systems. Background technique [0002] Home speaker systems often stream audio content from mobile devices. Speaker systems may occupy several areas within a residence (eg, a house). Speakers within these zones can receive streaming audio content for playback. All too often, the playback quality on the speaker is poor due to loss of power, and audio artifacts occur as the device moves around a particular area. Furthermore, streaming from mobile devices often drains the mobile device's battery power at a relatively rapid rate. Contents of the invention [0003] An apparatus for swapping playback of media content from a first playback device to a second playback device on multiple playback devices may include a controller programmed to: detect a portable device from including a first playback device A change in position of a first media area of ​​a device to a second media area co...
