Patent number: 11755280Abstract: A media-playback device acquires a heart rate, selects a song with a first tempo, and initiates playback of the song. The song meets a set of qualification criteria and the first tempo is based on the heart rate, such as being equal to or less than the heart rate. The media-playback device also initiates playback of a binaural beat at a first frequency. Over a period of time, the binaural beat's first frequency is changed to a second frequency. Over the period of time, the first tempo can also be changed to a second tempo, where the second tempo is slower than the first tempo.Type: GrantFiled: August 6, 2021Date of Patent: September 12, 2023Assignee: Spotify ABInventors: Mateo Rando, Tristan Jehan

Publication number: 20230047586Abstract: A server receives a request to play a selected playlist from a first electronic device associated with a host listener. The playlist includes audio items having a common attribute. The server also receives an identity of a guest listener having a second electronic device and retrieves an indication of taste of the guest listener based on the received identity. The server selects an additional audio item based at least in part on the indication of taste of the guest listener and the common attribute of the audio items of the selected playlist, and incorporates the additional audio item into the selected playlist.Type: ApplicationFiled: June 30, 2022Publication date: February 16, 2023Inventors: Miles LENNON, Rafael MUMME, Jason GAVRIS, Minwei GU, Mateo RANDO

Patent number: 11403341Abstract: A method is performed at a server system. The method includes, while streaming a playlist at a first electronic device associated with a host listener, the playlist including media content items: automatically receiving an identity of a guest listener having a second electronic device, without explicit input from the guest listener after the second electronic device comes within range of the first electronic device; selecting an additional media content item based at least in part on the identity of the guest listener; and incorporating the additional media content item into the selected playlist.Type: GrantFiled: March 16, 2020Date of Patent: August 2, 2022Assignee: SPOTIFY ABInventors: Miles Lennon, Rafael Mumme, Jason Gavris, Minwei Gu, Mateo Rando

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

Publication number: 20190180787Abstract: A method comprises obtaining a playlist that comprises a plurality of audio items. The playlist is divided into a plurality of coherent groups. Each coherent group comprises a respective sequence of audio items of the plurality of audio items with a common attribute. For a respective coherent group of the plurality of coherent groups, a parameter value of a first audio item of the respective sequence is determined, a parameter value of a second audio item of the respective sequence is adjusted based on the determined parameter value of the first audio item, and a transition media item is formed. The transition media item corresponds to a transition between the first and second audio items that are adjacent in the respective sequence. The transition media item is provided to a second electronic device.Type: ApplicationFiled: February 14, 2019Publication date: June 13, 2019Inventors: Tristan JEHAN, Frej CONNOLY, Miles LENNON, Rachel BITTNER, Mateo RANDO, Ulf KARLSSON
