Publication number: 20150178280Abstract: A machine may form all or part of a network-based system configured to provide media service to one or more user devices. The machine may be configured to define a station library within a larger collection of media files. In particular, the machine may access metadata that describes the media files included in the collection and access a seed that forms the basis on which the station library is to be defined. The machine may generate a list of media files from the metadata and based on the seed and enable a human editor to modify the machine-generated station set according to a human-contributed input to the station list. The machine may then modify the station set based on the submitted input and configure a media service to provide one or more user devices with a datastream that includes media files selected from the modified station list.Type: ApplicationFiled: December 19, 2013Publication date: June 25, 2015Applicant: Gracenote, Inc.Inventors: Peter C.

Patent number: 7249022Abstract: There are provided a singing voice-synthesizing method and apparatus capable of performing synthesis of natural singing voices close to human singing voices based on performance data being input in real time. Performance data is inputted for each phonetic unit constituting a lyric, to supply phonetic unit information, singing-starting time point information, singing length information, etc. Each performance data is inputted in timing earlier than the actual singing-starting time point, and a phonetic unit transition time length is generated. By using the phonetic unit transition time, the singing-starting time point information, and the singing length information, the singing-starting time points and singing duration times of the first and second phonemes are determined. In the singing voice synthesis, for each phoneme, a singing voice is generated at the determined singing-starting time point and continues to be generated for the determined singing duration time.Type: GrantFiled: December 1, 2005Date of Patent: July 24, 2007Assignee: Yamaha CorporationInventors: Hiraku Kayama, Oscar Celma, Jaume Ortola

Publication number: 20030009344Abstract: There are provided a singing voice-synthesizing method and apparatus which is capable of performing synthesis of natural singing voices close to human singing voices based on performance data being input in real time. Performance data is inputted for each phonetic unit constituting a lyric, to supply phonetic unit information, singing-starting time point information, singing length information, etc. thereof. The singing-starting time point information represents the actual singing-starting time point. Each performance data is inputted in timing earlier than the actual singing-starting time point, and has its phonetic unit information converted to a phonetic unit transition time length. The phonetic unit transition time length is formed by a first phoneme generation time length and a second phoneme generation time length, for a phonetic unit formed by a first phoneme and a second phoneme.Type: ApplicationFiled: December 27, 2001Publication date: January 9, 2003Inventors: Hiraku Kayama, Oscar Celma, Jaume Ortola
