- mgoetzke 5y agoHow can this be patentable ? Is amazing. If given the typical job of implementing this coarse desire of a spec to 100 engineers and 90 can implement it with no problem then its just work, nothing original about it. This company was only the first to actually want to sell 2+ speakers and implement the app control with it instead of an IR remote.
- mattmcknight 5y agoThese are not "more complex details", it's using more words to say the same thing. It has nothing to do with implementation at all- just a group of speakers playing the same sound source can have their volume adjusted as a group. Given that, I wonder why the court decided that playing a sound on a group of speakers (the first part of your quote) is allowed, but changing the volume across the group is not. It seems quite arbitrary.
