A system is described that permits identified musical phrases or themes to be synchronized and linked into changing real-world events. The achieved synchronization includes a seamless musical transitionachieved using a timing offset, such as relative advancement of an significant musical onset, that is inserted to align with a pre-existing but identified music signature, beat or timebasebetween potentially disparate pre-identified musical phrases having different emotive themes defined by their respective time signatures, intensities, keys, musical rhythms and/or musical phrasing. The system operates to augment an overall sensory experience of a user in the real world by dynamically changing, re-ordering or repeating and then playing audio themes within the context of what is occurring in the surrounding physical environment, e.g. during different phases of a cardio workout in a step class the music rate and intensity increase during sprint periods and decrease during recovery periods.

A system and method for an interactive three piece microphone with customizable features that may be quickly accessed by a user whereby the users' settings are automatically uploaded to the microphone providing a more personalized experience. The microphone may be used in a variety of situations where users may challenge one another as well as collect monetary rewards based on the location and type of performance they have.

Aspects of the subject disclosure may include, for example, a device that includes a processing system having a processor and a memory that stores executable instructions that, when executed by the processing system, facilitate performance of operations, where the operations include determining parameters for adapting audio in the content to the device, wherein the device renders the content, and wherein the parameters are based on semantic metadata embedded in the content, adapting the audio in the content based on the parameters, and rendering the content, as adapted by the parameters, to represent a semantic in the semantic metadata. Other embodiments are disclosed.

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.

The invention relates to a system for automatically creating a soundtrack, comprising a camera device (1, 1) for recording a user-generated video, at least one wearable sensor (3, 3), and a control unit (2, 2) in communication with the camera device (1, 1) and the at least one wearable sensor (3, 3). The control unit (2, 2) is adapted to generate the soundtrack based on data gathered from the at least one wearable sensor (3, 3) during the recording of the user-generated video. The invention further relates to a method for automatically creating a soundtrack, computer program product, a computer readable memory storage unit computing arrangement or mobile device (1, 11) for executing the method.

Disclosed are a method for selecting background music and capturing a video, a device, a terminal apparatus, and a medium. The method includes: a music viewing instruction is acquired in a process of playing a video; a music detail corresponding to a background music fragment used by the video is displayed according to the music viewing instruction; a same-style capturing instruction is acquired, and a starting point of the background music fragment in a whole piece of music is acquired according to the same-style capturing instruction; a capturing instruction is acquired, and a video capturing is performed on a target scene according to the capturing instruction until a capturing stop instruction is acquired, and a corresponding video is acquired; and a corresponding music fragment is acquired, so the music fragment and the acquired video are synthesized to obtain a target video.

In accordance with implementations of the subject matter described herein, there is provided a solution for supporting a machine to automatically generate a song. In this solution, an input from a user is used to determine a creation intention of the user with respect to a song to be generated. Lyrics of the song are generated based on the creation intention. Then, a template for the song is generated based at least in part on the lyrics. The template indicates a melody matching with the lyrics. In this way, it is feasible to automatically create the melody and lyrics which not only conform to the creation intention of the user but also match with each other.

This disclosure falls into the field of adapting external content to a video stream, and more specifically it is related to analyzing the video stream to define a suitable narrative model, and adapting the external content based on this narrative model.

This application discloses a method for making music recommendations. The method for making music recommendations is performed by a server device. The method includes obtaining a material for which background music is to be added; determining at least one visual semantic tag of the material, the at least one visual semantic tag describing at least one characteristic of the material; identifying a matched music matching the at least one visual semantic tag from a candidate music library; sorting the matched music according to user assessing information of a user corresponding to the material; screening the matched music based on a sorting result and according to a preset music screening condition; and recommending matched music obtained through the screening as candidate music of the material.

An electronic device includes a display screen and circuitry. The circuitry receives a first frequency modulated (FM) signal from a first FM radio transmitter, via a first FM radio channel. The first FM signal comprises a broadcast data signal that includes an audio segment of aural information of a performer-of-interest at of a live event, text information associated with the audio segment, and synchronization information. The synchronization information is associated with the text information and the audio segment. The circuitry extracts the synchronization information from a plurality of data packets of the broadcast data signal. The circuitry extracts a portion of the text information from the extracted plurality of data packets of the broadcast data signal based on the extracted synchronization information. The circuitry controls display of the extracted portion of the text information on the display screen.
