Learning device interaction rules

A system, comprising:

• a processor;
• and
• a memory device, the memory device storing code, the code when executed causing the processor to perform operations, the operations comprising:
• receiving an electronic message sent from a device associated with a plurality of networked devices, the electronic message identifying a change of state implemented by the device to play media content;
• querying an electronic database for the change of state, the electronic database having electronic associations between rules and possible changes of state to identify a rule of the rules that is electronically associated with the change of state identified in the electronic message;
• determining a learning mode of operation associated with the plurality of networked devices;
• determining, based on the rule, a broadcast requirement associated with the learning mode of operation;
• and
• broadcasting the change of state to network addresses associated with the plurality of networked devices, the change of state identifying the device implementing the change of state to play the media content.

A memory device storing instructions that when executed causes a processor to perform operations, the operations comprising:

• receiving an electronic message from a device in a plurality of networked devices, the electronic message identifying a change of state implemented by the device to play media content;
• querying an electronic database for the change of state, the electronic database having electronic associations between rules and possible changes of state to identify a rule of the rules that is electronically associated with the change of state identified in the electronic message;
• determining a learning mode of operation associated with the plurality of networked devices;
• determining, based on the rule, a broadcast requirement during the learning mode of operation;
• and
• broadcasting the change of state to network addresses associated with the plurality of networked devices, the change of state identifying the device implementing the change of state to play the media content.
