Audio processing systems and methods are configured to receive audio program content and to reproduce the audio program content in accord with at least one audio parameter. The audio parameter is stored with a relation to an identifier associated with the audio program content. The audio parameter may be later retrieved for reproduction of associated audio program content.

Content based dynamic audio settings

A method for dynamically changing the master audio playback device of a set that includes at least two audio playback devices, wherein one audio playback device of the set is a set master audio playback device that controls the play of audio data by at least one other slave audio playback device of the set. A first slave audio playback device receives its selection as a new recipient of audio data and, in response, the first slave audio playback device is designated as a new set master audio playback device and the set master audio playback device is designated as a new slave audio playback device. The new set master audio playback device controls the play of audio by the new slave audio playback device.

Dynamically changing master audio playback device

An electronic device, a display control system, and a method for controlling operation of a display unit of an electronic device. The method includes generating a display signal by a display controller. The display signal is interpreted by the display unit to display a content of the display signal on a display panel of the display unit. The content of the display signal is compared to a known data pattern. The display unit is operated in accordance to an operating parameter corresponding to the known data pattern if the known data pattern is detected in the display signal.

Systems and methods for controlling operation of a backlight for a display panel

A method is provided for an audio output device connected to a network to perform compatibility check. The audio output device discovers another audio output device connected to the network and transmits a first message to the other audio output device for checking whether the other audio output device is compatible with the audio output device. In response to the first message, the audio output device receives a second message from the other audio output device indicating whether the other audio output device is compatible with the audio output device. The audio output device, based on the second message, determines whether the other audio output device is compatible with the audio output device.

Compatibility check in a network of synchronized speakers

A method includes receiving via an audio playback device a first multicast transmission (e.g., an SSDP(HTTP)/Bonjour(DNS) presence announcement) from a computer hosting a digital media server. The first multicast transmission provides an indication of the presence of the digital media server (e.g., DLNA music server) on a network (e.g., a LAN). A request for a unicast connection is transmitted via the audio playback device to the digital media server, and, in the absence of a response to the request for a unicast connection, a second multicast transmission is transmitted via the audio playback device. The second multicast transmission includes information that allows the digital media server to establish a connection with the audio playback device to facilitate transmission of a unicast request for content.

Establishing communication between digital media servers and audio playback devices in audio systems

A remote control device is provided for controlling an audio playback device. The remote control device includes an input region that is operable to select from a plurality of entities for providing audio content to the audio playback device, and a display for displaying information associated with the entities for providing audio content. The remote control device is configured to request image files from the audio playback device for display on the display. The image files correspond to the entities for providing audio content.
