A system for providing mobile content to a mobile communication device includes a first computing system including one or more servers to provide, via a communications network, a graphical user interface at a second computing system, the graphical user interface (i) enabling the user of the second computing system to edit a digital file to create the mobile content and (ii) prompting and enabling a user of the second computing system to provide a phone number associated with the mobile communication device, the mobile communication device being separate and remote from the first computing system and the second computing system. The first computing system receives, from the second computing system via the communications network, the mobile content and the phone number associated with the mobile communication device. The first computing system uses a the phone number received from the second computing system to cause the delivery of the mobile content to the mobile communication device via a wireless data network in a format compatible with one or more operational parameters of the mobile communication device, the one or more operational parameters including at least one of a mobile communication device type and a software platform type, wherein the using of the received phone number to cause the delivery of the mobile content to the mobile communication device is performed without the mobile communication device identifying the one or more operational parameters to the first computing system or the second computing system.
摘要:
Vocal audio of a user together with performance synchronized video is captured and coordinated with audiovisual contributions of other users to form composite duet-style or glee club-style or window-paned music video-style audiovisual performances. In some cases, the vocal performances of individual users are captured (together with performance synchronized video) on mobile devices, television-type display and/or set-top box equipment in the context of karaoke-style presentations of lyrics in correspondence with audible renderings of a backing track. Contributions of multiple vocalists are coordinated and mixed in a manner that selects for presentation, at any given time along a given performance timeline, performance synchronized video of one or more of the contributors. Selections are in accord with a visual progression that codes a sequence of visual layouts in correspondence with other coded aspects of a performance score such as pitch tracks, backing audio, lyrics, sections and/or vocal parts.
摘要:
Despite many practical limitations imposed by mobile device platforms and application execution environments, vocal musical performances may be captured and continuously pitch-corrected for mixing and rendering with backing tracks in ways that create compelling user experiences. Based on the techniques described herein, even mere amateurs are encouraged to share with friends and family or to collaborate and contribute vocal performances as part of virtual “glee clubs.” In some implementations, these interactions are facilitated through social network- and/or eMail-mediated sharing of performances and invitations to join in a group performance. Using uploaded vocals captured at clients such as a mobile device, a content server (or service) can mediate such virtual glee clubs by manipulating and mixing the uploaded vocal performances of multiple contributing vocalists.

A mobile terminal and a ringtone playing method thereof are provided. The playing method includes: selecting a music file which to be set as a ringtone, and popping up a playing preview interface corresponding to the music film and, meanwhile, playing the music file; sliding a cursor of the playing preview interface to select a start position and a playing end position on a playing progress bar corresponding to the music file so as to acquire and save playing information of the ringtone, wherein the playing information comprises a playing start time point and a playing end time point of the ringtone; and in response to occurrence of a ringing event, reading the saved playing information of the ringtone and playing a music clip between the playing start time point and the playing end time point.
摘要:
Techniques have been developed to facilitate (1) the capture and pitch correction of vocal performances on handheld or other portable computing devices and (2) the mixing of such pitch-corrected vocal performances with backing tracks for audible rendering on targets that include such portable computing devices and as well as desktops, workstations, gaming stations, even telephony targets. Implementations of the described techniques employ signal processing techniques and allocations of system functionality that are suitable given the generally limited capabilities of such handheld or portable computing devices and that facilitate efficient encoding and communication of the pitch-corrected vocal performances (or precursors or derivatives thereof) via wireless and/or wired bandwidth-limited networks for rendering on portable computing devices or other targets.
摘要:
A communication apparatus and a sound playing method thereof are provided. The method is adapted for a communication apparatus having a first speaker used as an earpiece and a second speaker, in which the first speaker and the second speaker are disposed at opposite sides of the communication apparatus. In the method, an event with a sound notification is detected. A left channel sound and a right channel sound of the sound notification are mixed to generate a mixed sound in response to detecting the event. The mixed sound is played by the first speaker with a fade-in effect.

摘要:
Disclosed is a system infrastructure that allows for the online and social creation of music and musical thoughts in real-time or near real-time by amateurs and professionals. Individual musical contributions are combined into a single, cohesive musical thought that is presented for approval to the collaborating creators. This solution is extensible from the world of music to other creative endeavors including the written word, video, and digital images. The foregoing system infrastructure powers and supports the online and social creation of music and musical thoughts in real-time or near real-time by amateurs and professionals alike.

An acoustic system includes a supply device, which is connected to a network and configured to supply an acoustic signal to the network and at least one output device configured to output a sound that is based on the acoustic signal supplied from the supply device via the network. The acoustic system also includes a detection unit configured to detect whether the at least one output device is in a state of being capable of outputting the sound and a control device configured to control, based on a result of the detection by the detection unit, to which output device the acoustic signal is to be supplied out of the at least one output device.
