Publication number: 20230188785Abstract: An electronic device receives a request, from a first device of a host user, to initiate a first shared playback session for the first device and one or more additional devices. The electronic device streams media content from a first playback queue to the first device and to the one or more additional devices, the first playback queue including one or more media content items corresponding to the first shared playback session. The electronic device determines that the first device of the host user has left the first shared playback session and, in response, maintains the first playback queue to be accessed by the one or more additional devices. After the host user has left the first shared playback session, the electronic device provides one or more media content items from the first playback queue to at least one of the one or more additional devices.Type: ApplicationFiled: December 15, 2022Publication date: June 15, 2023Inventors: Perttu Santeri HERNEJÄRVI, Issra Amir OMER, Aron Joel MANUCHERI, Charlotta OLLESDOTTER, Daniel Per Åke LINDSTRAND, Mikael RAGNHULT, Mattias SVALA, Oskar KJELLIN, Lonneke VAN ES, Oskar Werkelin AHLIN, Erik BROBERG, Conor TAYLOR, Björn Håkan LINDBERG, Keenan CASSIDY

Publication number: 20230106825Abstract: Technology for generating, reading, and using machine-readable codes is disclosed. There is a method, performed by an image capture device, for reading and using the codes. The method includes obtaining an image, identifying an area in the image having a machine-readable code. The method also includes, within the image area, finding a predefined start marker defining a start point and a predefined stop marker defining a stop point, an axis being defined there between. A plurality of axis points can be defined along the axis. For each axis point, a first distance within the image area to a mark is determined. The distance can be measured from the axis point in a first direction which is orthogonal to the axis. The first distances can be converted to a binary code using Gray code such that each first distance encodes at least one bit of data in the code.Type: ApplicationFiled: October 13, 2022Publication date: April 6, 2023Applicant: Spotify ABInventors: Keenan CASSIDY, Damian FERRAI, Ludvig STRIGEUS, Mattias SVALA, Nicklas SÖDERLIND, Jimmy WAHLBERG

Patent number: 11082742Abstract: An electronic device stores, for a first user of a media-providing service, a listening history corresponding to media content items provided by the media-providing service that have been previously consumed by the first user. The electronic device provides a shared playback queue to a first device of the first user and a second device of a second user. The electronic device identifies a source of a first media content item of the one or more media content items in the shared playback queue. Based on the identified source of the first media content item in the shared playback queue, the electronic device determines whether to include the first media content item in the listening history of the first user. The electronic device provides information for a second media content item to the first device of the first user based on the listening history of the first user.Type: GrantFiled: February 6, 2020Date of Patent: August 3, 2021Assignee: Spotify ABInventors: Perttu Santeri Hernejärvi, Issra Amir Omer, Aron Joel Manucheri, Charlotta Ollesdotter, Daniel Per Åke Lindstrand, Mikael Ragnhult, Mattias Svala, Oskar Kjellin, Lonneke Van Es, Oskar Werkelin Ahlin, Erik Broberg, Conor Taylor, Björn Håkan Lindberg, Keenan Cassidy
