Abstract:
Method and systems are provided for identification of device groups in a network. In an example implementation, a first playback device, while in a first zone group comprising the playback device, the first zone group having a group identification identifying the first zone group, receives an instruction to form a zone group with one or more second playback devices. In response, the first playback device forms a second zone group with the one or more second playback devices. Forming the second zone group involves determining a group identification identifying the second zone group and determining a display name representing the second zone group. In response, the first playback device causes a controller device to update a control interface for the media playback system to display an indication of the second zone group, the indication of the second zone group comprising the determined display name.

Claim (Index 8):
A non-transitory computer-readable media having stored thereon instructions that, when executed by one or more processors, cause a first playback device of a media playback system to perform operations comprising:\n while in a first zone group comprising the first playback device, the first zone group having a group identification identifying the first zone group, receiving, via a network interface from a controller device of the media playback system, an instruction to form a zone group with one or more second playback devices, wherein the first playback device is configured as a particular zone of the media playback system; in response to receiving the instruction, forming a second zone group with the one or more second playback devices, wherein forming the second zone group comprises:\n determining a group identification identifying the second zone group, the determined group identification unique among zone groups of the media playback system; and \n determining a display name representing the second zone group, the display name representing the second zone group comprising (i) a zone name of the particular zone, wherein the first playback device is configured to provide timing information to the one or more second playback devices during synchronous playback as zone group coordinator of the second zone group and (ii) a numerical portion representing a number of playback devices in the second zone group in addition to the zone group coordinator; and \n in response to forming the zone group, causing, via the network interface, the controller device to update a control interface for the media playback system to display an indication of the second zone group, the indication of the second zone group comprising the determined display name representing the second zone group, wherein causing the controller device to update the control interface for the media playback system comprises transmitting, via the network interface to the controller device, data representing the group identification identifying the second zone group and the display name representing the second zone group.
