Abstract: Techniques are disclosed relating to generating music content. In one embodiment, a method includes determining one or more musical attributes based on external data and generating music content based on the one or more musical attributes. Generating the music content may include selecting from stored sound loops or tracks and/or generating new tracks based on the musical attributes. Selected or generated sound loops or tracks may be layered to generate the music content. Musical attributes may be determined in some embodiments based on user input (e.g., indicating a desired energy level), environment information, and/or user behavior information. Artists may upload tracks, in some embodiments, and be compensated based on usage of their tracks in generating music content. In some embodiments, a method includes generating sound and/or light control information based on the musical attributes.

Abstract: The present disclosure relates to a allowing individuals to create and share digital memories, which may include, e.g., picture, video, text, audio, and drawings captured through a mobile device. Those memories may in some embodiments be associated with other individuals located at the same location and time. This disclosure further relates to a mobile application that allows users to create digital memories, share memories with others, and discover memories of which they were a part. The mobile application, systems and interactions are herein referred to generally as “Timeline.” Timeline may be viewed as focused on users in the physical world rather than online world.

Abstract: Methods and systems describing preparation of a beverage are described. One embodiment includes preparing a beverage taking into account properties of an ingredient, such as sugar content of apple juice, as well as an individual's health data such as the individual's insulin level. Other embodiments include preparing a beverage based on data such as an individual's goal to lose weight. Some embodiments include a recipe such as a beverage recipe to start preparing the beverage. In some embodiments, the ingredients, amount, and instructions in a recipe may remain the same or be changed depending on factors such as health data, properties of an ingredient, and others. In other embodiments, a beverage is prepared so that the beverage meets a set of predetermined threshold criteria such as a pH level, and the ingredients and the amounts of the ingredients may be adjusted to meet these criteria.

Abstract: Techniques are disclosed relating to prediction of desired information types for image scanning In some embodiments, a scanner is configured to predict a desired information type based on applications (e.g., running on a device, displayed on a device, or recently opened on a device) and/or a coarse scan of an image to detect objects in a set of object types that include information types associated with running applications. Based on a predicted information type, in some embodiments, the scanner is configured to extract information from an image and automatically display the information to a user or send the information to an application. For example, in one embodiment, the scanner may automatically extract payment information from an image of a credit card and insert the information into payment fields on a merchant web site.

Abstract: An application may allow users to create digital memories, share memories with others, and discover memories of which they were a part. Digital memories may include or relate to pictures, videos, text, or audio captured through a mobile device at a specific location in the real world, in various embodiments. Memories may therefore be associated with other individuals present at that specific physical location at the same time. The application may thus relate to the intersections of people with places and other people, and may differ from other social networking applications in which interactions do not relate to people who are physically present at the same time. In various embodiments, media data and geolocation data may therefore be collected and used in association with the creation of digital memories.

Abstract: Disclosed is a system and method for managing ingredients and recipes while providing an interface for consumers to request a meal based on one or more recipes. Additionally, preparation and production steps are defined based on the ingredients of one or more recipes. The time for preparation and production is also calculated and presented.
