Claims22
A method, comprising:
- at a resident device:
- receiving, from a respective device, an input corresponding to a request to initiate playback of audio content;
- and
- in response to receiving the input corresponding to the request to initiate playback of the audio content:
- in accordance with a determination that a first set of one or more criteria is satisfied, wherein the first set of one or more criteria includes a criterion that is satisfied when the respective device is a first device, outputting, via multiple output devices, the audio content in a first manner;
- and
- in accordance with a determination that a second set of one or more criteria is satisfied, wherein the second set of one or more criteria includes a criterion that is satisfied when the respective device is a second device, outputting, via the multiple output devices, the audio content in a second manner different from the first manner, wherein the second device is different from the first device, and wherein the second set of one or more criteria is different from the first set of one or more criteria.
A non-transitory computer-readable storage medium storing one or more programs configured to be executed by one or more processors of a resident device, the one or more programs including instructions for:
- receiving, from a respective device, an input corresponding to a request to initiate playback of audio content;
- and
- in response to receiving the input corresponding to the request to initiate playback of the audio content:
- in accordance with a determination that a first set of one or more criteria is satisfied, wherein the first set of one or more criteria includes a criterion that is satisfied when the respective device is a first device, outputting, via multiple output devices, the audio content in a first manner;
- and
- in accordance with a determination that a second set of one or more criteria is satisfied, wherein the second set of one or more criteria includes a criterion that is satisfied when the respective device is a second device, outputting, via the multiple output devices, the audio content in a second manner different from the first manner, wherein the second device is different from the first device, and wherein the second set of one or more criteria is different from the first set of one or more criteria.
A resident device, comprising:
- one or more processors;
- and
- memory storing one or more programs configured to be executed by the one or more processors, the one or more programs including instructions for:
- receiving, from a respective device, an input corresponding to a request to initiate playback of audio content;
- and
- in response to receiving the input corresponding to the request to initiate playback of the audio content:
- in accordance with a determination that a first set of one or more criteria is satisfied, wherein the first set of one or more criteria includes a criterion that is satisfied when the respective device is a first device, outputting, via multiple output devices, the audio content in a first manner;
- and
- in accordance with a determination that a second set of one or more criteria is satisfied, wherein the second set of one or more criteria includes a criterion that is satisfied when the respective device is a second device, outputting, via the multiple output devices, the audio content in a second manner different from the first manner, wherein the second device is different from the first device, and wherein the second set of one or more criteria is different from the first set of one or more criteria.
