An entertainment enabled cleaning device, referred to generally as a musical cleaning device. The musical cleaning device, illustrated herein as a mop, comprises a main body, illustrated herein as an elongated rod. The main body has a first end and a second opposing end. Removably attached to the first end is an entertainment member. Attached to the second end is a cleaning member. The main body may also contain an extension member, allowing the length of the main body to expand, and lock in place, if desired. The entertainment member is configured to wirelessly communicate with an electronic device, such as a smart phone. Accordingly, the musical mop can be used to 1) play music loaded onto the electronic device, and/or 2) use the electronic device to receive telephone calls through the musical mop.

A terminal for generating music may identify, based on execution of scenario recognition, scenarios for images previously received by the terminal. The terminal may generate respective description texts for the scenarios. The terminal may execute keyword-based rhyme matching based on the respective description texts. The terminal may generate respective rhyming lyrics corresponding to the images. The terminal may convert the respective rhyming lyrics corresponding to the images into a speech. The terminal may synthesize the speech with preset background music to obtain image music.

The present application discloses a method and device for processing multimedia information, an electronic equipment, and a computer-readable storage medium. The method for processing multimedia information includes: detecting whether multimedia configuration parameters have changed during a process of recording multimedia information; and recording the multimedia information based on the changed multimedia configuration parameters when detecting that the multimedia configuration parameters have changed. According to the embodiments of the present application, multimedia configuration parameters of the special effects such as stickers, make-up, filters, and mixing can be added during the recording of multimedia information, which improves the user experience.

According to an embodiment, there is provided a system and method for automatically generating a complete music work from a partially completed work provided by a user. One approach uses an artificial intelligence (AI) engine that is trained by creating incomplete works from a database of complete works and then instructing the AI to complete the incomplete works. A comparison is made between the completed works and the originals to determine the effectiveness of the training process. After the AI is trained, it is applied to the user's incomplete work to produce a final music item.

An electronic drum-module for connection to electronic-drum pads is provided. The module includes an electronic display, a memory storing audio files for playback when the playback is triggered by a signal received from the pads, and one or more processors coupled to the electronic display and the memory. The processors are configured to play a portion of the one or more audio files when the playback is triggered by the signal received from the pads and to display, on the electronic display, a user interface for an application. The user interface includes a waveform associated with recorded audio. The user interface includes a sample-start marker and a sample-end marker. A portion of the waveform between the sample-start marker and sample-end marker is displayed brighter than a portion not between the sample-start marker and the sample-end marker. Playback of the portion may be initiated by striking a drum-pad zone.

A media-content augmentation system includes a processing system that receives input data in the form of temporally-varying events data. The processing system resolves the input into one or more categorized contextual themes, correlates the themes with metadata associated with at least one reference media file, and then splices or fades together selected parts of the media file, thus generating as an output, a media product in which transitions between its contextual themes are aligned with selected temporal events in the input data. The temporarily-varying events take the form of a beginning and an end in the case of a sustained feature, or a specific point in time for a hit point. A method aligns sections in digital media files with temporally-varying events data to compose a media product. The system augments a sensory experience of a user by dynamically changing and then playing selected media files within the context of the categorized themes input to the processing system.

A system, method and computer product for training a neural network system. The method comprises inputting an audio signal to the system to generate plural outputs f(X, Θ). The audio signal includes one or more of vocal content and/or musical instrument content, and each output f(X, Θ) corresponds to a respective one of the different content types. The method also comprises comparing individual outputs f(X, Θ) of the neural network system to corresponding target signals. For each compared output f(X, Θ), at least one parameter of the system is adjusted to reduce a result of the comparing performed for the output f(X, Θ), to train the system to estimate the different content types. In one example embodiment, the system comprises a U-Net architecture. After training, the system can estimate various different types of vocal and/or instrument components of an audio signal, depending on which type of component(s) the system is trained to estimate.

Method for outputting an audio signal reproducing at least part of a piece of music containing part of at least one main voice, in particular a singing voice, into an interior forming part of a passenger compartment of a motor vehicle via an audio output device having a left and a right audio output channel. The method includes providing an audio signal reproducing at least part of a piece of music containing at least one main voice, extracting an audio signal component, containing the at least one main voice, of the audio signal from the audio signal, attenuating the audio signal component containing the at least one main voice, and outputting the audio signal via the left and right audio output channels, of the audio output device, wherein the audio signal component containing the at least one main voice is output in attenuated fashion.

The present invention discloses an integrated karaoke device, which comprises a control unit, a main sound chamber and a microphone assembly connected to the main sound chamber. At least two symmetrically arranged speakers are provided within the main sound chamber. The microphone assembly comprises a microphone and a microphone holder. The microphone holder is made of a soft material. The microphone and the speakers are respectively electrically connected with the control unit. The present invention has the following advantageous effect: the symmetrical arrangement of the plurality of speakers within the sound chamber allows the sound vibrations generated by the plurality of speakers to cancel each other out, such that the vibrations are prevented from being transmitted to the microphone.
