Publication number: 20240062754Abstract: Methods and systems for modification of electronic system operation based on acoustic ambience classification are presented. In an example method, at least one audio signal present in a physical environment of a user is detected. The at least one audio signal is analyzed to extract at least one audio feature from the audio signal. The audio signal is classified based on the audio feature to produce at least one classification of the audio signal. Operation of an electronic system interacting with the user in the physical environment is modified based on the classification of the audio signal.Type: ApplicationFiled: October 30, 2023Publication date: February 22, 2024Inventors: Suresh Jeyachandran, Vadim Brenner, Markus K.

Publication number: 20240028637Abstract: A method for controlling presentation of metadata regarding media. A system could generate query fingerprints representing media content being presented, the media content having been identified as being a first media-content item. The system could further detect a threshold mismatch comprising at least one of the query fingerprints not matching any of first reference fingerprints known to represent the first media-content item. In response, the system could engage in new media identification, establishing that the media content is a second media-content item, and could obtain both second reference fingerprints known to represent the second media-content item and metadata regarding the second media-content item.Type: ApplicationFiled: July 22, 2022Publication date: January 25, 2024Inventors: John Colton, Damon Fasching, Suresh Jeyachandran, Dong-In Lee, Kathyrene Villariba
