Abstract:
A method for operating a wireless audio playback device that has an electro-acoustic transducer and a microphone, wherein the wireless audio playback device is configured for playback of audio signals received from a plurality of digital audio sources and for synchronized audio playback with one or more other wireless audio playback devices. A particular predefined user action is detected. Based on the detection, wireless communication with another wireless audio playback device is enabled. Then an audio signal received by the device microphone is transmitted to and played by the other wireless audio playback device.

Claim (Index 1):
A wireless audio playback device that is configured for playback of audio signals received from a plurality of digital audio sources and for synchronized audio playback with at least one other wireless audio playback device, comprising:\n an electro-acoustic transducer; a first microphone that is configured to detect speech; a wireless network interface that is configured to accomplish wireless communication with at least one other wireless audio playback device, to support the synchronized audio playback; a user interface comprising a user-operable button; and a processor that is configured to execute instructions that cause the wireless audio playback device to:\n playback received audio signals; \n select another wireless audio playback device to communicate with; \n detect a single operation of the button and in response automatically connect with a particular audio source, such that the particular audio source begins playing on the electro-acoustic transducer; \n while the wireless audio playback device is playing the particular audio source, detect a double operation of the button, and in response stop playing the particular audio source and establish a wireless local area network communication channel with the selected wireless audio playback device; \n after establishing a wireless local area network communication channel with the selected wireless audio playback device, wirelessly transmit to the selected wireless audio playback device, over the wireless local area network communication channel, speech detected by the first microphone, where the selected wireless audio playback device has a second microphone that is configured to detect speech; and then \n receive from the selected wireless audio playback device over the wireless local area network communication channel speech that was detected by the second microphone; and then \n play the received speech using the electro-acoustic transducer.
