Abstract:
Systems, methods, apparatus, and articles of manufacture to facilitate configuration and naming of a multimedia playback device on a local playback network are disclosed. An example method includes identifying and analyzing local network topology to identify playback device(s) connected to the network at location(s). The example method includes analyzing a playback device to be added and comparing the playback device to be added to the playback device(s) already connected to the network. The example method includes displaying available option(s) to name the playback device to be added based on the analysis of the network, the already connected playback device(s) and the playback device to be added to the network. The example method includes naming the playback device to be added based on a selected available option.

Claim (Index 17):
A method comprising:\n receiving by a computing device from a first playback device that is not configured for a multimedia playback system, a message indicating (i) the first playback device is available to join the multimedia playback system and (ii) one or more characteristics of the first playback device; receiving by the computing device, information indicating (i) a playback zone in the multimedia playback system, (ii) a second playback device in the playback zone, and (iii) one or more characteristics of the second playback device; based on the one or more characteristics of the first playback device and the one or more characteristics of the second playback device, determining by the computing device that the first playback device is compatible to join the playback zone as a part of a bonded zone with the second playback device; displaying by the computing device on a user interface, a graphical representation selectable to configure the first playback device for the multimedia playback system as a part of the bonded zone with the second playback device; and based on a selection of the graphical representation, configuring by the computing device, the first playback device and the second playback device as a bonded zone in the multimedia playback system.
