US 2022/0286356 A1 · Updating Network Configuration Parameters

Abstract

An example computing device is configured to (i) establish a connection to a secure wireless network (ii) determine that one or more playback devices of a media playback system are not connected to the secure wireless network (iii) receive, via a graphical display, a user input indicating a request to update the one or more playback devices with network configuration parameters for the secure wireless network, (iv) retrieve, from storage, a list of the one or more playback devices, (v) receive an input indicating a first playback device to be updated from the list, (vi) establish an initial communication path with the first playback device, (vii) transmit a set of one or more messages to the first computing device collectively comprising the network configuration parameters for the secure wireless network, and (viii) receive an indication that the first computing device has established a connection to the secure wireless network.

Dependent claims

A computing device configured to operate as a control device of a media playback system, the computing device comprising:

a graphical display;
at least one processor;
non-transitory computer-readable medium;
and
program instructions stored on the non-transitory computer-readable medium that are executable by the at least one processor such that the computing device is configured to:
establish a connection to a secure wireless network;
determine that one or more playback devices of the media playback system are not connected to the secure wireless network;
receive, via the graphical display, a user input indicating a request to update the one or more playback devices with network configuration parameters for the secure wireless network;
retrieve, from storage, a list of the one or more playback devices associated with the media playback system;
receive, via the graphical display, an input indicating a first playback device to be updated from the list;
establish an initial communication path with the first playback device;
transmit a set of one or more messages to the first playback device collectively comprising the network configuration parameters for the secure wireless network;
and
receive an indication that the first computing device has established a connection to the secure wireless network.

11 more elements

A non-transitory computer-readable medium, wherein the non-transitory computer-readable medium is provisioned with program instructions that, when executed by at least one processor, cause a computing device configured to operate as a control device of a media playback system to:

establish a connection to a secure wireless network;
determine that one or more playback devices of the media playback system are not connected to the secure wireless network;
receive, via a graphical display of the computing device, a user input indicating a request to update the one or more playback devices with network configuration parameters for the secure wireless network;
retrieve, from storage, a list of the one or more playback devices associated with the media playback system;
receive, via the graphical display, an input indicating a first playback device to be updated from the list;
establish an initial communication path with the first playback device;
transmit a set of one or more messages to the first playback device collectively comprising the network configuration parameters for the secure wireless network;
and
receive an indication that the first computing device has established a connection to the secure wireless network.
