Abstract:
Embodiments described herein include systems and methods for providing a management interface for controlling multiple households. The management interface may be provided as an application on a mobile device or as an Internet webpage. An example implementation involves a device displaying representations of: a plurality of households; an indication of a selected household; one or more zones within the selected household; and a representation of media being played by a selected zone of the one or more zones. While displaying the representations, the device receives, from a server, data indicating updated information associated with the plurality of households; and, in response, updates the graphical display to display at least an updated representation of media being played by the selected zone.

Claim (Index 1):
A method to be performed by a cloud computing system, the method comprising:\n causing, via one or more networks including a wide area network, a controller interface on a graphical display of a computing device to display (i) representations of multiple households and (ii) a first control, the first control selectable to select among the multiple households, wherein each household comprises one or more respective playback devices; receiving, via the one or more networks, data indicating a first household selected from among the multiple households; causing, via the one or more networks, the controller interface on the graphical display to display (i) a representation of the first household and (ii) a second control, the second control selectable to select among multiple playlists of audio content; receiving, via the one or more networks, data representing one or more instructions to cause the first household to play back a first playlist on one or more playback devices of the first household, the first playlist selected from among the multiple playlists of audio content; based on receiving the data representing one or more instructions to cause the first household to play back the first playlist on one or more playback devices of the first household, causing, via the one or more networks, the first household to play back the first playlist on the one or more playback devices of the first household; causing the controller interface on the graphical display to display a representation of the first household playing back audio content; receiving, via the one or more networks, data indicating a second household selected from among the multiple households; causing, via the one or more networks, the controller interface on the graphical display to display (i) a representation of the second household and (ii) the second control; receiving, via the one or more networks, data representing one or more instructions to cause the second household to play back a second playlist on one or more playback devices of the second household; based on receiving the data representing one or more instructions to cause the second household to play back the second playlist on one or more playback devices of the second household, causing, via the one or more networks, the second household to play back the second playlist on the one or more playback devices of the second household; and causing the controller interface on the graphical display to display a representation of the second household playing back audio content.
