Abstract
A first media device, method, and non-transitory computer readable medium for multi-area grouping of devices. The first media device includes a transceiver and a processor coupled to the transceiver. The processor detects a second media device that is not subscribed to the media group. The processor assigns the detected second media device to the media group. The processor determines a total amount of media devices in the media group. The processor recommends a multi-channel configuration for the media group based on the determined total amount of media devices.
Claims20
A first media device associated with a media group comprising:
- a transceiver configured to transmit or receive signals, and
- a processor coupled to the transceiver, the processor configured to:
- detect a second media device that is not subscribed to the media group, based on the signals;
- assign the detected second media device to the media group;
- detect a current location and a relative position for each of media devices in the media group, including the second media device;
- provide a multi-channel configuration for the media group based on the detected current location and the relative position for each of the media devices;
- receive a selection of content;
- and
- in response to the selection of content, generate a distinctive indicator corresponding to the selected content for display on the media devices in the media group.
A method for a media group management, comprising:
- detecting a media device that is not subscribed to a media group;
- assigning the detected media device to the media group;
- detecting a current location and a relative position for each of media devices in the media group, including the detected media device;
- providing a multi-channel configuration for the media group based on the detected current location and the relative position for each of the media devices;
- receiving a selection of content;
- and
- in response to the selection of content, generating a distinctive indicator corresponding to the selected content for display on the media devices in the media group.
A non-transitory computer readable medium including a plurality of instructions that, when executed by a processor, are configured to cause the processor to:
- detect a second media device that is not subscribed to a media group;
- assign the detected second media device to the media group;
- detect a current location and a relative position for each of media devices in the media group, including the second media device;
- provide a multi-channel configuration for the media group based on the detected current location and the relative position for each of the media devices;
- receive a selection of content;
- and
- in response to the selection of content, generate a distinctive indicator corresponding to the selected content for display on the media devices in the media group.
