Patent number: 9449648Abstract: A program product, a graphical user interface, a computer system including such a graphical user interface and method for replacing a first version of an audio and/or video section having a first length by selecting a second version of an audio and/or video section having a second length are described. Such a method comprises selecting the first version having the first length, displaying a first indication showing that the first version is selected, opening a menu associated with the first version offering at least the second version as an alternative to replace the first version, selecting the second version in the menu to replace the first version and displaying a second indication showing that the second version is selected. The second indication replaces the first indication. Some implementations may facilitate replacing one section or piece of audio or video data by another.Type: GrantFiled: August 6, 2007Date of Patent: September 20, 2016Assignee: APPLE INC.Inventors: Ole Lagemann, John Danty, Jan-Hinnerk Helms, Gerhard Lengeling, Alexander Soren

Publication number: 20100162878Abstract: A song audio is played and a graphical representation of a musical instrument contributing to the audio is displayed. A fingering display is overlayed on the graphical representation of the instrument during the playing of song. The fingering display is synchronized to the song audio. During the playing of the song audio, the tempo of the song is adjusted. The pitch of the song is substantially preserved in real-time despite the tempo adjustment. In addition, the synchronization between the fingering display and the audio are maintained in real-time in view of the adjusted tempo.Type: ApplicationFiled: December 31, 2008Publication date: July 1, 2010Applicant: Apple Inc.Inventors: Gerhard H.
