Maintaining grouping information for audio speaker devices

Abstract

Described herein are systems, devices, and methods for generating a synchronized time value for a wireless speaker having a first timer and a second timer. In some embodiments, the systems, devices, and method may include reading a first timer value associated with the first timer, wherein the first timer is synchronized with a wireless network. Further, a first timer value associated with the second timer may be read. The first timer value associated with the second timer may be correlated to the first timer value associated with the first timer to generate the synchronized time value for the wireless speaker.

What is claimed is: 
     
         1 . A method for maintaining speaker group information at a host device having a processor and memory, the method comprising:
 receiving a first speaker group identifier from a first speaker, wherein the first speaker group identifier identifies a speaker group having one or more speakers;   storing the first speaker group identifier within the memory;   generating a second speaker group identifier;   providing the second speaker group identifier to the first speaker;   receiving a third speaker group identifier from the first speaker; and   storing the third speaker group identifier within the memory.
