Abstract
An example method includes collecting, with a network device positioned at a plurality of locations, information indicative of a plurality of patterns of wireless signals between the network device and a plurality of playback devices, and training a first parameterized machine learning model to produce a trained model that identifies playback device(s) proximal to the network device based on feature(s) derived from the information. The method may further include transferring the trained model to a portable playback device, collecting, with the portable playback device, data indicative of a pattern of wireless signals between the portable playback device and the plurality of playback devices, applying the trained model to feature(s) derived from the data to identify at least one playback device of the plurality of playback devices that is proximal to the portable playback device, and communicating a request from the portable playback device to the at least one playback device.
