  • Patent number: 10417278
    Abstract: Graphical user interfaces for searching music. A computer provides a window of a first webpage providing a user interface to search music, comprising search tools including filter tools and a keyword search tool. In response to a user search request for music via the filter tools and/or the keyword search tool, the computer provides, within the window, music search results. When a search result is selected by the user, the selected search result expands within the window. The expanded search result includes one or more of: a grab button, a download button, a share button, a license button, an audio player showing an audio waveform of the selected music search result, a description of the selected music search result, artwork associated with the search result, and an explore-more button, that when selected provides additional music related to the selected music based on acoustic similarity.

  • Publication number: 20130339853
    Abstract: Graphical user interfaces for searching music based on acoustic similarity. A system includes a database storing a catalog of music and one or more processors to provide a first webpage to configure a web browser to show a user interface in a window for music searching. The user interface includes: an upload interface to upload a music track identified by a user; and a segment selection tool configured to show a waveform of the uploaded music track and to receive input identifying a segment of the uploaded music track. After the determination of relative similarity between the segment of the uploaded music track and tracks in the catalog based on an analysis of acoustic attributes of the segment of the uploaded music track, the system presents tracks from the catalog in an order of the relative similarity for display in a result panel of the user interface.
