Abstract:
An example playback device in a first zone of a media playback system receives a first indication that the first zone has been added to a first zone scene including a first preconfigured grouping of zones including the first zone and a second zone. The playback device receives a second indication that the first zone has been added to a second zone scene including a second preconfigured grouping of zones including the first zone and a third zone. After a given one of the first and second zone scenes has been selected for invocation, the playback device receives an instruction to operate in accordance with the given zone scene, and based on the instruction, begins operating in accordance with the given zone scene such that the playback device is configured to play back audio in synchrony with one or more other playback devices in the media playback system.

Claim (Index 1):
A playback device comprising:\n one or more processors; a non-transitory computer-readable medium; and program instructions stored on the non-transitory computer-readable medium that, when executed by the one or more processors, cause the playback device to perform functions comprising:\n while operating in a first zone of a media playback system, receiving, from a network device over a data network, a first indication that the first zone has been added to a first zone scene comprising a first preconfigured grouping of zones including at least the first zone and a second zone that are to be configured for synchronous playback of media when the first zone scene is invoked; \n receiving, from the network device over the data network, a second indication that the first zone has been added to a second zone scene comprising a second preconfigured grouping of zones including at least the first zone and a third zone that are to be configured for synchronous playback of media when the second zone scene is invoked, wherein the second zone is different than the third zone; \n after a given one of the first and second zone scenes has been selected for invocation, receiving, from the network device over the data network, an instruction to operate in accordance with the given one of the first and second zone scenes; and \n based on the instruction, beginning to operate in accordance with the given one of the first and second zone scenes such that the playback device is configured to play back audio in synchrony with one or more other playback devices in the media playback system.
