Publication number: 20240061879Abstract: This disclosure concerns the provision of media, and more particularly streaming of media. In particular, one aspect herein relates to a method performed by a server system of streaming an audio content item to an electronic device. In response to receiving a request message from the electronic device, a selected audio content item is retrieved from a first storage. Descriptive metadata including an origin-ID associated with the retrieved audio content item is determined. A second storage is browsed utilizing said metadata including the origin-ID to locate non-static media content item(s) associated with the origin-ID. In response to finding a non-static media content item associated with the origin ID, the selected audio content item is sent along with the located non-static media content item to the electronic device for simultaneous presentation of the audio content item and the located non-static media content item.Type: ApplicationFiled: August 10, 2023Publication date: February 22, 2024Inventors: Dariusz DZIUK, Tetiana KARAGODOVA, Andrea Nicole Doroja LIMJOCO, Roy Menahem MARMELSTEIN

Patent number: 11262973Abstract: A system operates to manage accessibility of media content items based on a user's performance of a repetitive motion activity. The system can generate rule data based on a rule designed to permit access to certain media content items. The rule data can include information about various conditions to be satisfied to make the media content items accessible for playback. Such conditions can be associated with a user's performance or status of a repetitive motion activity.Type: GrantFiled: December 19, 2018Date of Patent: March 1, 2022Assignee: Spotify ABInventors: Dariusz Dziuk, Rahul Sen, Matilda Hannäs, Nikolaos Toumpelis

Patent number: 11182119Abstract: A system and methods for acquiring cadence and selecting a song version based on the acquired cadence are disclosed. If the system detects a new cadence, then a new song version that corresponds to the new cadence can be played. The new song version playback can start in a corresponding position as the location of playback in a currently-playing song version. Each related song version shares one or more characteristics, such as melody, but is different in at least one characteristic, such as tempo.Type: GrantFiled: January 15, 2020Date of Patent: November 23, 2021Assignee: Spotify ABInventors: Sten Garmark, Dariusz Dziuk, Mateo Rando, Angus William Sackfield
