Patent number: 11909797Abstract: A method for personalizing media content for a user is provided. The method includes, at an electronic device, streaming a first media item from a first set of media items, the first set of media items compiled using a first recommendation hypothesis. The method further includes, while streaming the first media item, in response to a first user request, selecting, without user intervention, a second set of media items, distinct from the first set of media items, including determining a presentation order of a plurality of sets of media items using a heuristic applied to the plurality of sets of media items. The second set of media items is compiled using a second recommendation hypothesis, wherein the second recommendation hypothesis is distinct from the first recommendation hypothesis. The method includes streaming a second media item from the second set of media items.Type: GrantFiled: May 26, 2022Date of Patent: February 20, 2024Assignee: Spotify ABInventors: Aaron Paul Harmon, Adam Shonkoff, Bradford Lage, Johanna Anderson Favole, Justin David Covington, Paul Lamere, Timothy Andrew Chagnon, Debra Lynn McDonald, Matthew Julian Seaton, Matthew Budelman, Scott Kagan

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

Publication number: 20220300249Abstract: A system for refinement of a voice query interpretation interprets a voice query received at a voice-enabled device to identify commands responsive to the voice query for execution at the voice-enabled device, and enables refinement of the interpretation of the voice query through a graphical user interface generated and displayed at a GUI-capable device. The graphical user interface includes a set of selectable options relating to the voice query and identifying a refinement of the interpretation of the voice query to enable control and/or adjustment of commands to be executed by the voice-enabled device. For example, if one of the selectable options is selected, then a command associated with the selected option is identified and executed by the voice-enabled device.Type: ApplicationFiled: June 6, 2022Publication date: September 22, 2022Applicant: Spotify ABInventors: Philip Glenny Edmonds, Matthew Joseph Kane, Joshua Pham, Eder G. Bastos, Marcus Daniel Better, Adithya Kalyan Tammavarapu, Amilcar Andrade Garcia, Chen Ye Li, Adam Jonathan Shonkoff, Aaron Paul Harmon, Christopher Phair, Ching Chuan Sung

Publication number: 20210407165Abstract: An electronic device displays a first icon comprising a shape. While displaying the first icon, the device receives a voice command corresponding to a request for media content from the application. In response to, and while receiving, the voice command, the device dynamically animates the first icon, including distorting a radius of a portion of the shape in accordance with a direction of the voice command. The dynamic animation indicates that the electronic device is in a first state. After the voice command is completed, the device displays an indication that the device is in a second state that is distinct from the first state.Type: ApplicationFiled: June 21, 2021Publication date: December 30, 2021Inventors: Harry Morgan BENTELL, Aaron Paul HARMON, Andreas Gustav Christian PĂ…LSSON, Karl HUMPHREYS, Nicola FELACO, Daniel BROMAND
