  • Publication number: 20200357370
    Abstract: 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.

  • Patent number: 10496250
    Abstract: According to a preferred aspect of the instant invention, there is provided a system and method that allows the user to implement an intelligent automatic music jam mode. The jam mode is adaptable to both novice and professional users, wherein the user is able to define in real-time a plurality of different settings which are instantly utilized and which provide instant results for the user. In an automatic mode the instant invention will pick settings autonomously, for example song part definition, tone pitch and instruments. In absence of constant user interaction the instant invention enters a creative mode wherein the initial user defined settings are varied to introduce variance into the jam session. The system and method also monitors data input by instruments connected and played by the user and intelligently adapts the setting selection accordingly.

  • Patent number: 10424340
    Abstract: There is provided a system and method for latency compensation in a 360° VR video editing system. One embodiment involves a determination of the latency delay between the computer that stores and edits the video and a VR headset worn by the user. This delay might be caused by the need to read, prepare, and wirelessly transmit each video frame to the headset. The determined latency delay is used within the computer to adjust the timeline location of editing commands issued by the user so that they match the timeline locations seen by the user within the headset. This is done so that the user's edit commands are applied within the computer at the same video frame the user was viewing within the VR headset when the command was issued. In some embodiments the display device of the VR headset might be a smart phone.

  • Patent number: 10026449
    Abstract: According to a preferred aspect of the invention, there is provided a system and method that allows a user to implement dynamic video editing in real time during the recording of a video. The user chooses a theme and associated styles/effects, etc., which are immediately applied to the video as it is recorded so that results are visible as soon as the recording is finished. The associated music defines the recording time of the video and changes in the character of the music are used to select effect markers positions at which the user will be able to apply or implement effects. The inventive system handles the selection, definition, implementation and placement of effects by the user and applies those effects in real time which provides an output at the conclusion of the recording that is immediately available for further use or distribution by the user.

  • Patent number: 9991861
    Abstract: According to a preferred aspect, there is provided a system and method for controlled dynamics adaptation of audio works. The dynamics complexity of the audio is adapted depending on the listening environment and its dynamics properties. The instant invention utilizes a function of stepwise linear and logarithmical sections, which describe individual points of a curve and which therefore with the use of a parameter can be utilized to calculate and control the target value of the loudness range. The curve points are stored and provided as metadata of the musical program, which allows the dynamics scaling functionality to be implemented dynamically and not tied to a certain time or place.
