摘要： Described is a technology by which a user hums, sings or otherwise plays a user-provided rendition of a ringtone (or ringback tone) through a mobile telephone to a ringtone search service (e.g., a WAP, interactive voice response or SMS-based search platform). The service matches features of the user's rendition against features of actual ringtones to determine one or more matching candidate ringtones for downloading. Features may include pitch contours (up or down), pitch intervals and durations of notes. Matching candidates may be ranked based on the determined similarity, possibly in conjunction with weighting criterion such as the popularity of the ringtone and/or the importance of the matched part. The candidate set may be augmented with other ringtones independent of the matching, such as the most popular ones downloaded by other users, ringtones from similar artists, and so forth.

摘要： Described is a technology by which a playback list comprising similar songs is automatically built based on automatically detected/generated song attributes, such as by extracting numeric features of each song. The attributes may be downloaded from a remote connection, and/or may be locally generated on the playback device. To build a playlist, a seed song's attributes may be compared against attributes of other songs to determine which other songs are similar to the seed song and thus included in the playlist. Another way to build a playlist is based on similarity of songs to a set of user provided-attributes, such as corresponding to moods or usage modes such as “resting” “reading” “jogging” or “driving” moods/modes. The playlist may be dynamically adjusted based on user interaction with the device, such as when a user skips a song, queues a song, or dequeues a song.

摘要翻译： 描述了一种技术，通过这种技术，基于自动检测/生成的歌曲属性，例如通过提取每首歌曲的数字特征，自动地构建包括相似歌曲的回放列表。 属性可以从远程连接下载，和/或可以在播放设备上本地生成。 为了构建播放列表，可以将种子歌曲的属性与其他歌曲的属性进行比较，以确定哪些其他歌曲类似于种子歌曲，并因此包括在播放列表中。 构建播放列表的另一种方法是基于歌曲与一组用户提供的属性的相似性，例如对应于心情或使用模式，例如“休息”，“阅读”“慢跑”或“驾驶”心情/模式。 播放列表可以基于用户与设备的交互来动态调整，例如当用户跳过歌曲，排队歌曲或出队歌曲时。
