Updating Playback Device Configuration Information Based on Calibration Data

Tangible, non-transitory computer-readable medium having stored thereon program instructions that, when executed by a processor, cause a computing device to perform operations comprising:

• transmitting playback device configuration information to a given playback device, wherein the playback device is located in a first playback environment;
• after transmitting the playback device configuration information, receiving calibration data corresponding to each playback device of a plurality of playback devices, wherein each playback device in the plurality of playback devices is located in a playback environment other than the first playback environment;
• after transmitting the playback device configuration information, receiving playback device characteristic data indicating at least one playback device characteristic for each playback device of the plurality of playback devices;
• based on at least the received calibration data and the received playback device characteristic data, determining updated playback device configuration information;
• and
• transmitting data indicating the updated playback device configuration information to the given playback device.

Tangible non-transitory computer-readable medium having stored thereon instructions that, when executed by the processor, cause a playback device to perform operations comprising:

• determining configuration information for the playback device;
• based on the determined configuration information, calibrating the playback device;
• after calibrating the playback device, transmitting calibration data to a computing device, wherein the calibration data comprises data corresponding to the calibration of the playback device, and wherein the calibration data further comprises data indicating the configuration information;
• after calibrating the playback device, transmitting data to the computing device indicating at least one playback device characteristic for the playback device;
• receiving, from the computing device, data indicating updated configuration information;
• and
• applying the updated configuration information when playing back audio content.

A method comprising:

• determining by a playback device, configuration information for the playback device;
• based on the determined configuration information, calibrating the playback device;
• after calibrating the playback device, transmitting by the playback device to a computing device, calibration data comprising (i) data corresponding to the calibration of the playback device and (ii) data indicating the configuration information;
• after calibrating the playback device, transmitting by the playback device to the computing device, data indicating at least one playback device characteristic for the playback device;
• receiving, by the playback device from the computing device, data indicating updated configuration information;
• and
• applying by the playback device, the updated configuration information when playing back audio content.
