Abstract:
The present disclosure generally concerns multi-function control of one or several audio playback devices, such as one or several speakers of a home music system. In one example embodiment described herein, a user interface arrangement for controlling multiple functions of one or several audio playback devices comprises first and second rotatable knobs ( 110 A; HOB). The first rotatable knob ( 100 A) has a first rotational axis extending in a first axial direction, wherein the first rotatable knob ( 100 A) is rotatable around said first rotational axis to control a first function and wherein the first rotatable knob ( 100 A) is further configured to be displaced axially in said first axial direction of the first rotational axis to control a second function. Furthermore, the second rotatable knob (HOB) has a second rotational axis extending in a second axial direction, wherein the second rotatable knob (HOB) is rotatable around said second rotational axis to control a third function and wherein the second rotatable knob (HOB) is further configured to be displaced axially in said second axial direction of the second rotational axis to control a fourth function.

Claim (Index 12):
The user interface arrangement of  claim 1 , wherein the user interface arrangement is operatively connected to a processor, and the processor is operatively connected to a memory and a communications interface, the memory comprising instructions which are executable by the processor, and the communications interface configured for wired or wireless communication with one or more audio playback devices of the plurality of audio playback devices, and\n wherein a rotation of the first rotatable knob around the first rotational axis causes a first signal to be transmitted to the processor for controlling the first function, an axial displacement of the first rotatable knob in the first axial direction causes a second signal to be transmitted to the processor for controlling the second function, a rotation of the second rotatable knob around the second rotational axis causes a third signal to be transmitted to the processor for controlling the third function, and an axial displacement of the second rotatable knob in the second axial direction causes a fourth signal to be transmitted to the processor for controlling the fourth function.
