Abstract
A method of synchronizing playback of audio data sent over a first wireless network from an audio source to a wireless speaker package that is adapted to play the audio data. The method includes comparing a first time period over which audio data was sent over the first wireless network to a second time period over which the audio data was received by the wireless speaker package, and playing the received audio data on the wireless speaker package over a third time period that is related to the comparison of the first and second time periods.
Claims20
A computer program product having a non-transitory computer-readable medium including computer program logic encoded thereon that, when performed on an audio sink, causes the audio sink to:
- store a distinct value that can be used by the audio sink to determine a time period for the playback by the audio sink of audio data that is wirelessly transmitted from an audio source to the audio sink;
- and
- play audio data over the determined time period.
A wireless speaker package, comprising:
- an electro-acoustic transducer;
- a processor;
- and
- memory comprising instructions which when executed by the processor cause the wireless speaker package to:
- store a distinct value that can be used by the wireless speaker package to determine a time period for the playback by the wireless speaker package of audio data that is wirelessly transmitted from an audio source to the wireless speaker package;
- and
- play audio data over the determined time period using the electro-acoustic transducer.
