Abstract:
Embodiments are provided for syncing multiple electronic devices for collective audio playback. According to certain aspects, a master device connects ( 218 ) to a slave device via a wireless connection. The master device calculates ( 224 ) a network latency via a series of network latency pings with the slave device and sends ( 225 ) the network latency to the slave device. Further, the master devices sends ( 232 ) a portion of an audio file as well as a timing instruction including a system time to the slave device. The master device initiates ( 234 ) playback of the portion of the audio file and the slave devices initiates ( 236 ) playback of the portion of the audio file according to the timing instruction and a calculated system clock offset value.

Claim (Index 11):
An audio playback device comprising:\n a communication component for connecting the audio playback device to a master device to form an audio playback group for playback of audio; an audio output component; and a controller module interfaced with the communication component and the audio output component, and configured to:\n receive, from the master device via the communication component, a timing signal and timing information associated with audio data to be played as part of the audio playback group, \n cause the audio output component to output the audio data at a time based on the timing signal, the timing information, and a clock of the audio playback device, \n receive, from the master device via the communication component, a playback command corresponding to a user selection at the master device, and \n cause the audio output component to adjust playback of the audio data based on the playback command.
