Abstract
Generative media content (e.g., generative audio) can be played back across multiple playback devices concurrently. A generative content group coordinator device can receive input parameters, which can include sensor data, media content, or other such input. The coordinator device can generate first and second generative media content streams, each of which can be transmitted to first and second playback devices, respectively. The first and second playback devices can play back the first and second streams of generative media content concurrently.
Claims35
A first network device comprising:
- a network interface;
- one or more processors;
- and
- memory storing instructions that, when executed by the one or more processors, cause the first network device to perform operations comprising:
- receiving an input parameter,
- determining, via a generative AI model, that a task associated with the received input parameter exceeds a computational capacity of the first network device,
- transmitting, via the network interface, a request to one or more second network devices to perform an action associated with the task,
- receiving, via the network interface, a response from at least one of the one or more second network devices, wherein the response corresponds to an action performed by the at least one of the one or more second network devices, and
- causing a set of one or more outputs associated with the received response,
- wherein causing the set of one or more outputs associated with the received response comprises causing synchronous playback of output via a first playback device and a second playback device, and
- wherein the first playback device plays audio content and wherein the second playback device plays video content.
