Patent number: 10043538Abstract: Technologies are described for identifying familiar or interesting parts of music content by analyzing changes in vocal power using frequency spectrums. For example, a frequency spectrum can be generated from digitized audio. Using the frequency spectrum, the harmonic content and percussive content can be separated. The vocal content can then be separated from the harmonic and/or percussive content. The vocal content can then be processed to identify surge points in the digitized audio. In some implementations, the vocal content is included in the harmonic content during the separation procedure and is then separated from the harmonic content.Type: GrantFiled: November 15, 2017Date of Patent: August 7, 2018Assignee: Microsoft Technology Licensing, LLCInventors: Stewart Paul Tootill, Kevin Lingley, David Niall Coghlan, Michal Vine, Linden Vongsathorn

Publication number: 20160295256Abstract: Techniques are described for remuxing multimedia content received in a digital video broadcasting format without performing transcoding of the video and/or audio content. For example, a computing device with a digital television tuner can receive multimedia content in a digital video broadcast format. The computing device can remux the received multimedia content from the digital video broadcasting format in which the multimedia content is received into a target streaming protocol for streaming to other devices. Remuxing operations can comprise demultiplexing the received multimedia content to separate the audio and video content, performing meta-data reconstruction, and multiplexing the audio and video content into a target stream using a target streaming protocol format.Type: ApplicationFiled: March 31, 2015Publication date: October 6, 2016Applicant: Microsoft Technology Licensing, LLCInventors: Neeraj Sharma, Yongjun Wu, Shyam Sadhwani, Matthew Andrews, Nimesh Amin, Brian Joseph Ewanchuk, Stewart Paul Tootill, David Niall Coghlan, Michal Mark Vine
