Embodiment Construction

[0040] The following embodiments illustrate methods, computer programs and systems for determining music at social events via automated crowdsourcing. Broadly speaking, in situations where a group of people get together as might occur at a social event or other type of event, it can be difficult to identify music that suits everyone's tastes. However, if each user has an associated music library, these users' music libraries can be analyzed collectively to determine music that is likely to be liked by as many users as possible within a group of users. Various aspects of a user's music library, such as the contents of those libraries, indicated preferences, and playback history, etc., can be analyzed to generate a crowdsourced group playlist of songs.

[0041]It will be apparent that the present embodiments may be practiced without some or all of the specific details disclosed herein. In other instances, well known process operations have not been described in detail in order ...

Abstract

A method for providing music to a group of users is provided. The method initiates with detecting a plurality of devices in proximity to each other, each of the devices having an associated user. For each user, a music library of the user is accessed to retrieve a listing of songs contained in the music library and data associated with each of the songs. The retrieved listings of songs and the associated data are analyzed to determine songs which are likely to be preferred by all of the users. A group playlist of songs is generated based on the songs which are likely to be preferred by all of the users. The songs of the group playlist are then streamed to one of the plurality of devices.

Description

technical field [0001] The present invention relates to methods, systems and computer programs for determining music at social events via automatic crowdsourcing. Background technique [0002] Internet applications have grown dramatically over the years, and thus the capabilities of devices equipped to access these applications have also grown dramatically. One area that has experienced this growth involves audio file management. As users continue to purchase and store more audio music files on their devices, the management of these files becomes increasingly important. Typically, users have music libraries on various devices, and these devices are typically backed up from time to time. If the user has more than one device, more synchronization is required to ensure that each device has access to the desired music. Additional complications arise in synchronizing new devices with older music libraries as users upgrade their devices or lose their devices. Many times, the a...
