Abstract
Example techniques relate to discovery and control of a remote controllable system.
Claims20
A computing system comprising:
- one or more processors;
- and
- a non-transitory computer-readable medium that stores instruction code that, when executed by the one or more processors, causes the computing system to perform operations comprising:
- after determining that a mobile device is within a threshold distance of a remote controllable speaker system, communicating an indication of a system identifier associated with the remote controllable speaker system to the mobile device, wherein the system identifier facilitates control, by the mobile device, of the remote controllable speaker system;
- after the mobile device receives the indication of the system identifier, causing the mobile device to display instructions for configuring the mobile device to control the remote controllable speaker system;
- after the mobile device has been configured to control the remote controllable speaker system, receiving, from the mobile device, data representing a command to perform an operation on the remote controllable speaker system;
- and
- causing the remote controllable speaker system to utilize account information associated with a user of the mobile device to retrieve data from a service operating on a server to execute the operation.

A method to be performed by a computing system, the method comprising:
- after determining that a mobile device is within a threshold distance of a remote controllable speaker system, communicating an indication of a system identifier associated with the remote controllable speaker system to the mobile device, wherein the system identifier facilitates control, by the mobile device, of the remote controllable speaker system;
- after the mobile device receives the indication of the system identifier, causing the mobile device to display instructions for configuring the mobile device to control the remote controllable speaker system;
- after the mobile device has been configured to control the remote controllable speaker system, receiving, from the mobile device, data representing a command to perform an operation on the remote controllable speaker system;
- and
- causing the remote controllable speaker system to utilize account information associated with a user of the mobile device to retrieve data from a service operating on a server to execute the operation.
