摘要:
Systems, methods, apparatuses, user interfaces and computer program products provide social and interactive applications for mass media based on real-time ambient-audio and/or video identification. In some implementations, a method includes: receiving descriptors identifying ambient audio associated with a media broadcast; comparing the descriptors to one or more reference descriptors; and determining a rating for the media broadcast based at least in part on the results of the comparison.

User exposure to media items is detected and measured. A mobile client device (101) carried by a user digitally samples the audio environment of the user on a regular basis. These samples are transformed into a stream of data signatures and compared with reference media items to detect user exposure to the reference items. Purchase behavior following exposure to selected media content items can be detected and tracked as well, so as to gauge effectiveness of media items such as advertisements.

The invention relates to an information processing apparatus and method and a program which can provide an item suitable for a feeling (mood) of a user. A user data acquisition section 72 acquires a result of decision by the user regarding whether or not an item is appropriate to a predetermined mood. An inappropriateness filter production section 74 acquires a characteristic amount of an item decided as not being appropriate to the predetermined mood by all of users from a characteristic amount analysis section 73. The inappropriateness filter production section 74 analyzes a plurality of characteristic amounts of different acquired items to extract a characteristic amount of an item which is not appropriate to the predetermined mood. An inappropriateness filter produced by the inappropriateness filter production section 74 is used when it is decided whether or not a predetermined item is appropriate to a predetermined mood. The present invention can be applied to a server or the like for recommending and providing an item.

There is provided a system for detecting a section including a particular acoustic signal, i.e., for detecting a section including an audio similar to a reference signal in an accumulated signal. The system includes: a reference signal spectrogram division unit for dividing the reference signal spectrogram into small-area reference signal spectrograms; a small-area reference signal spectrogram encoding unit for encoding the small-area reference signal spectrograms into reference signal small-area codes; a small-area accumulation signal spectrogram encoding unit for encoding the small-area accumulation signal spectrograms into accumulated signal small-area codes; a similar small-area spectrogram detection unit for detecting a small-area spectrogram similar to the small area reference signal spectrogram according to the code similarity; and a section similarity calculation unit for calculating the similarity between the section of the accumulated signal and the reference signal by using the small-area similarity.
摘要:
Audio is analyzed based on semitone intervals (402-406) and an average is calculated for each semitone channel (408-410). Running averages are calculated for each semitone channel (412) and averages are compared to see if they cross (414, 416). Crossing events are marked and utilized in combination with frequency spectrum data to determine a match between stored sound patterns and the input audio.

In order to reproduce music suitable for a situation where a user listens to the music while performing repetitive exercise, if a walking tempo value sensed by a walking tempo sensing portion 3 falls outside a certain range defined on the basis of a music tempo value of a music data file currently being reproduced by a music data reproduction portion 6, a music tempo specifying portion 4 specifies a music tempo value agreeing with the walking tempo value. A reproduction control portion 5 selects a music data file having a music tempo value corresponding to the music tempo specified by the music tempo specifying portion 4 from among a plurality of music data files stored along with data on music tempo of the respective music data files in a data storage portion 2, and causes the music data reproduction portion 6 to start the reproduction of the selected music data file.

A data transfer system is provided that, even in cases when the demands of the user are not concretely determined, can select the appropriate transferee for processing those demands. The data transfer system (103) comprises: a category information database (105) configured to link and store category items for classifying hierarchically targets described with data, and related transfer destinations; a transfer destination determination unit (602) configured to determine the transfer destination of the received data, upon a data receiving unit (601) receiving the data; an inquiry data receiving unit (608) configured to receive an unprocessed notification from the transfer destination; a category item retrieval unit (609) configured to retrieve the category item from the category information database on the basis of the transfer destination in response to the unprocessed notification; a transfer destination retrieval unit (610) configured to retrieve from the category information database a new transfer destination of the received data on the basis of the retrieved category items; and a data transfer unit (603) configured to transfer the received data to the transfer destination.

A content reproduction list generation device includes an operation section, a storage section, and a reproduction list generation section. The storage section is configured to store a change pattern indicating reproduction tempo changes during content reproduction. The reproduction list generation section is configured to specify a change pattern in accordance with an input into the operation section, associate content with the specified change pattern, and generate a content reproduction list for informing a reproduction section of the reproduction order and reproduction tempo of content to be reproduced in accordance with the specified change pattern and the associated content.

摘要:
This disclosure describes a distributed reader architecture for a mobile computing device such as cellular telephone handset. This architecture includes a reader library that reads device capabilities and business model parameters in the device, and in response, for selects an appropriate configuration of reader modules for identifying a content item. The reader modules each perform a function used in identifying a content item. The modules are selected so that the resources available on the device and in remote devices are used optimally, depending on available computing resources on the device and network bandwidth. One example of a reader module is a fast watermark detection module that quickly detects the presence of a watermark, enabling resources to be focused on portions of content that are most likely going to lead to successful content identification.; A watermark signal structure for fast watermark detection is comprised of a dense array of impulse functions in a form of a circle in a Fourier magnitude domain, and the impulse functions having pseudorandom phase. Alternative structures are possible.
