Patent number: 11887586Abstract: A method includes retrieving a plurality of transcripts from a database. Each transcript in the plurality of transcripts corresponds to audio from a media content item of a plurality of media content items that are provided by a media providing service. The method also includes applying each transcript of the plurality of transcripts to a trained computational model, and receiving a user request for information regarding a topic. The method further includes, in response to the user request, identifying a transcript from the database that is relevant to the topic, and a position within the transcript that is relevant to the topic. The method also includes providing, by the media providing service, at least a portion of a media content item corresponding to the identified transcript, beginning at a starting position that is based on the position within the identified transcript that is relevant to the topic.Type: GrantFiled: March 3, 2021Date of Patent: January 30, 2024Assignee: Spotify ABInventors: Vidhya Murali, Aaron Paul Harmon

Patent number: 11836184Abstract: A system, method and computer program product for accessing content. The method comprises processing at least one image with a classifier, and, in response to the at least one image being processed by the classifier, outputting from the classifier a value indicative of the likelihood that the at least one image belongs to at least one classification. The method also comprises determining whether the at least one image belongs to the at least one classification, based on the value, and accessing predetermined content when it is determined that the at least one image belongs to the at least one classification. Images may be classified by, e.g., genre, musical album, concept, or the like, and, in cases where an image belongs to any such classes, predetermined content (e.g., metadata and/or an audio track) relating thereto is identified and presented to the user.Type: GrantFiled: January 14, 2022Date of Patent: December 5, 2023Assignee: Spotify ABInventor: Vidhya Murali

Patent number: 11709883Abstract: A system, method and computer program product for accessing content based on an image. The method comprises comparing an image to a database of images, each of the images of the database being associated with at least one corresponding audio track, identifying those ones images of the database that correspond to the image, and identifying the at least one corresponding audio track that corresponds to the identified images. In one example aspect, the method also comprises presenting the audio track to a user. Corresponding metadata also can be presented. The images may be classified by, e.g., genre, musical album, concept, or the like, and, in cases where an input image is determined to belong to any such classes, audio content and/or metadata relating thereto are identified and presented to the user.Type: GrantFiled: October 22, 2021Date of Patent: July 25, 2023Assignee: Spotify ABInventor: Vidhya Murali
