Systems and methods facilitating a personalized audio content directed to and following a user via a sequence of continuous handoffs among multiple speakers

A method, comprising:

• receiving, by a network node including a processor, a request for an audio stream from a user device;
• detecting, by the network node, proximity of the user device to a first location;
• identifying, by the network node, a first speaker in the vicinity of the first location, wherein the first speaker is communicatively connected with the user device;
• sending, by the network node, the audio stream to the first speaker for presentation to a user;
• tracking, by the network node, movement of the user device;
• detecting, by the network node, the movement of the user device to be proximate to a second location;
• identifying, by the network node, a second speaker in the vicinity of the second location, wherein the second speaker is communicatively connected with the user device;
• and
• handing off, by the network node, the audio stream to the second speaker for presentation to the user.

A system, comprising:

• a processing system including a processor;
• and
• a memory that stores executable instructions that, when executed by the processing system, facilitate performance of operations, the operations comprising:
• identifying one or more audio devices based on proximity to a location of a mobile device, wherein the one or more audio devices are communicatively connected with the mobile device;
• receiving a request for an audio stream from the mobile device;
• selecting, among the identified one or more audio devices, an audio device that is proximate to the location of the mobile device at the time of receiving the request for the audio stream;
• tracking and updating the location of the mobile device;
• based on the updated location of the mobile device, updating the selection of the audio device;
• and
• as the selection of the audio device is updated, performing a sequence of continuous handoffs of the audio stream to an updated audio device such that the audio stream follows the updated location of the mobile device.
