USER INTERFACE CONTROL IN A NETWORKED AUDIO SYSTEM

摘要

A method for implementing a user interface (UI) control in a networked audio system that includes a plurality of audio playback devices that are adapted to play audio and that are operatively connected to a network over which audio data is delivered from a digital audio source to the audio playback devices, where the networked audio system further includes a control device that is operatively connected to the network and that has a display that is adapted to display a representation of a UI, and where the control device comprises an operating system (OS) and a native application program written for the control device OS, and memory. There is a local UI program that is stored in the control device memory. The local UI program is loaded in the control device when the native application is opened. The loaded UI is then displayed on the control device display.
