Title:
SPATIAL MAPPING OF MEDIA PLAYBACK SYSTEM COMPONENTS
Document Type and Number:
WIPO Patent Application WO/2023/056299
Kind Code:
A9
Abstract:
Spatial maps can be constructed that represent the relative positions of media playback system components within an environment. In one method, an orchestrator device transmits an instruction to a plurality of playback devices to initiate a localization session. After receiving the instruction, a first playback device transmits a localization signal which is received by the second playback device. Based on the localization signal, a spatial measurement parameter is obtained. The spatial measurement parameter is transmitted to a mapper device, which then constructs a spatial map of the environment including at least the first playback device and the second playback device.
