Patent number: 11862187Abstract: An electronic device receives a first audio content item that includes a plurality of sound sources. The electronic device generates a representation of the first audio content item. The electronic device determines, from the representation of the first audio content item: a representation of an isolated sound source, and frequency data associated with the isolated sound source. Determining the representation of the isolated sound source and the frequency data associated with the isolated sound source includes using a neural network to jointly determine the representation of the isolated sound source and the frequency data associated with the isolated sound source. The electronic device determines that a portion of a second audio content item matches the first audio content item using the representation of the isolated sound source and/or the frequency data associated with the isolated sound source.Type: GrantFiled: May 23, 2022Date of Patent: January 2, 2024Assignee: Spotify ABInventors: Andreas Jansson, Rachel Bittner

Publication number: 20230186883Abstract: A method is provided for modifying a first media content item by superimposing a first set of data over a first audio event having an amplitude that satisfies a first threshold. The first audio event has a first audio profile, the first set of data has a second audio profile, playback of the second audio profile is configured to be masked by the first audio profile during playback of the first media content item, and the first set of data includes playlist information. The method includes transmitting, to a second electronic device, the modified first media content item.Type: ApplicationFiled: December 12, 2022Publication date: June 15, 2023Inventors: Andreas JANSSON, David Samuel RUBINSTEIN, Peter Milan Thomson SOBOT

Patent number: 11545122Abstract: An electronic device modifies a first media content item by superimposing a first set of data over a first accented musical event. The first accented musical event has a first audio profile. The first set of data has a second audio profile configured to be masked by the first audio profile during playback of the first media content item. The electronic device transmits, to a second electronic device, the modified first media content item.Type: GrantFiled: August 10, 2020Date of Patent: January 3, 2023Assignee: Spotify ABInventors: Andreas Jansson, David Samuel Rubinstein, Peter Milan Thomson Sobot
