Abstract:
Embodiments are provided for syncing multiple electronic devices for collective audio playback. According to certain aspects, a master device connects ( 218 ) to a slave device via a wireless connection. The master device calculates ( 224 ) a network latency via a series of network latency pings with the slave device and sends ( 225 ) the network latency to the slave device. Further, the master devices sends ( 232 ) a portion of an audio file as well as a timing instruction including a system time to the slave device. The master device initiates ( 234 ) playback of the portion of the audio file and the slave devices initiates ( 236 ) playback of the portion of the audio file according to the timing instruction and a calculated system clock offset value.

Claim (Index 16):
A non-transitory computer-readable storage medium configured to store instructions, the instructions when executed by a processor causing the processor to perform operations comprising:\n adding, by a master playback device, a first slave playback device to an audio playback session with the master playback device; sending, by the master playback device to the first slave playback device, (i) a first timing instruction, and (ii) audio data to be played by the first slave playback device as part of the audio playback session; initiating playback, by the master playback device, of the audio data in synchrony with the first slave playback device based on the first timing instruction; adding, by the master playback device, a second slave playback device to the audio playback session; sending, by the master playback device to the second slave playback device, (i) a second timing instruction, and (ii) the audio data to be played by the second slave playback device as part of the audio playback session; and initiating playback, by the master playback device, of the audio data in synchrony with (i) the first slave playback device based on the first timing instruction, and (ii) the second slave playback device based on the second timing instruction.
