    "patent_abstract": "An example playback device is configured to receive a first volume command to adjust a volume level of audio playback by the playback device in a first direction. Based on the first volume command, the playback device causes the volume level of the audio playback to be adjusted in the first direction by a first increment. The playback device is further configured to receive a second volume command to adjust the volume level in a second direction and determine that the second volume command was received within a threshold period of time after receiving the first volume command. Based on (i) determining that the second volume command was received within the threshold period of time and (ii) the second volume command, the playback device causes the volume level of the audio playback to be adjusted in the second direction by a second increment that is different from the first increment.",
    "precision_class": "structural",
    "invention_explanation": "A playback device changes the size of its volume steps based on how commands are issued, allowing quicker large adjustments and finer control near the desired level.",
