摘要:
Techniques for online information search and retrieval for a query including a digital audio waveform. In an aspect, an audio waveform is received and digitized by at least one of a plurality of audio input devices. The digitized audio waveforms are transmitted to a central processing unit, which formulates and submits a query to an online engine. The formulated query may include the at least one digital audio waveform. The online engine retrieves one or more online results relevant to the formulated query. The online results may include one or more relevant visual results, and/or one or more relevant audio results. The retrieved results are served in real-time back to a user, via a device having audio output capability, and/or a device having visual data output capability.

A system and method for presentation of media related to a context. A request is received over a network from a requesting device for media related to a context, wherein the request comprises at least one criteria. A query is formulated based on the context criteria so as to search, via the network, for user profile data, social network data, spatial data, temporal data and topical data that is available via the network and relates to the context and to media files so as to identify at least one media file that is relevant to the context criteria. A playlist is assembled via the network containing a reference to the media files. The media files on the playlist are transmitted over the network to the requesting device.

Disclosed are systems and methods for counteracting unauthorized access to microphone data. An example method include storing, in a data buffer, audio data received from an audio endpoint device, installing, a software driver associated with the audio session, where the software driver prevents access to the audio data by unauthorized software applications, and receiving process identifier data from a software application requesting to access the audio data stored in the data buffer. Furthermore, the method includes determining whether the application requesting access to the audio data is an unauthorized software application and controlling the software driver to prevent access to the audio data by the determined unauthorized software application.
摘要:
A method comprising receiving microphone audio information from at least one microphone, identifying a song based, at least in part, on the microphone audio information, receiving song audio information based, at least in part, on the identification of the song, causing display of, at least a portion of, a song indicator that represents the song, receiving information indicative of a song rendering input in relation to the song indicator, and causing rendering of the song audio information based, at least in part, on the song rendering input is disclosed.

Methods, systems, and computer programs are presented for managing audio files of a user to reduce latencies in play start times on local devices. The audio files are stored on cloud storage managed by a server. One method includes processing a plurality of audio files associated with a user, where the processing is configured to create audio snippet files from each of the plurality of audio files. The audio snippet files representing a beginning part of each of the plurality of audio files. The method also includes transmitting the audio snippet files to a client device and detecting a request from the client to begin playing a first audio file from the plurality of audio files of the user. The first audio file being stored on the cloud storage managed by the server.
摘要:
Pattern matching of sound data using hashing is described. In one or more implementations, a query formed from one or more spectrograms of sound data is hashed and used to locate one or more labels in a database of sound signals. Each of the labels is located using a hash of an entry in the database. At least one of the located one or more labels is chosen as corresponding to the query.

A method for presenting interactive multimedia programs includes selecting a multimedia program for presentation, the program having one or more segments and a plurality of additional content items, where each of the items is associated with at least one of the segments and is responsive to at least one of a plurality of pre-defined queries for the program. The method also includes receiving at least one user query during presentation of the program, identifying one of the pre-defined queries corresponding to the user query, and retrieving one of the items associated with a current segment of the program and responsive to the identified one of the pre-defined queries.

Metadata associated with a first multimedia object in a first medium is used to find a second multimedia object in a second medium. The metadata includes category data.
摘要:
A web-based method of combining time coded audio files, having the following steps: (a) a local operator using a web-based interface displayed on a local computer system to access a library of audio files stored on a remote system; (b) the local operator using the web-based interface to select a plurality of the audio files from the library; (c) the local operator using the web-based interface to request the remote system to combine the selected audio files into a single combined audio segment comprising the selected audio files commencing play at audio cue markers; (d) the remote system generating the single combined audio segment by combining the plurality of selected audio files; and (e) the local operator using the web-based interface to download or stream the single combined audio segment.
摘要:
System and method to search audio data, including: receiving audio data representing speech; receiving a search query related to the audio data; compiling, by use of a processor, the search query into a hierarchy of scored speech recognition sub-searches; searching, by use of a processor, the audio data for speech identified by one or more of the sub-searches to produce hits; and combining, by use of a processor, the hits by use of at least one combination function to provide a composite search score of the audio data. The combination function may include an at-least-M-of-N function that produces a high score when at least M of N function inputs exceed a predetermined threshold value. The composite search score employ a soft time window such as a spline function.
