  • Publication number: 20240062754
    Abstract: 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.

  • Publication number: 20230142641
    Abstract: Example methods and systems for modifying the playback of content using pre-processed profile information are described. Example instructions, when executed, cause at least one processor to access a media stream that includes media and a profile of equalization parameters, the media stream provided to a device via a network, the profile of equalization parameters included in the media stream selected based on a comparison of a reference fingerprint to a query fingerprint generated based on the media, the profile of equalization parameters including an equalization parameter for the media; and modify playback of the media based on the equalization parameter specified in the accessed profile.

  • Patent number: 11176195
    Abstract: Example methods and systems for inserting information into playing content are described. In some example embodiments, the methods and systems may identify at a playback device, content by comparing a fingerprint of the real-time content to reference fingerprints, each of the reference fingerprints corresponding to different media, identify, at the playback device, a break in the real-time content playing via the playback device based on the identification of the real-time content, select an information segment to present during the break based on information captured by a location determination component, and insert the information segment into the real-time content playing via the playback device upon an occurrence of the break.

  • Patent number: 10735119
    Abstract: Example methods and systems for modifying the playback of content using pre-processed profile information are described. In some example embodiments, the methods and systems may access a stream of content to be delivered to a playback device, identify a piece of content within the stream of content to be delivered to the playback device, determine a profile for the identified piece of content, and deliver the determined profile to the playback device. In some example embodiments, the methods and systems may receive a stream of content at a playback device, access profile information associated with the stream of content, and modify playback of the stream of content based on the accessed profile information.
