Acoustic Model Music Selection for Digital Environments
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Conventional technologies for supplying music to digital environments are limited, as music segments become outdated and repetitive, leading to a negative user experience and potential loss of revenue due to the permanent association of music with specific locations, causing the digital environment to appear outdated.
Innovation Solution
An acoustical model supplying process that uses a computer system to provide dynamic music segments by identifying similarities between new and existing music segments, creating a model that selects different music segments based on location attributes, ensuring freshness and relevance over time.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Reliability
If music segments are permanently associated with particular locations in the digital environment, then the music provides consistent and reliable audio experience, but the music becomes outdated and repetitive over time
Solution Approach 1:
The patent applies dynamics by transitioning from static music-location associations to dynamic selections. The system maintains the reliability of consistent music experience by using acoustic models to generate music segments on-demand, while introducing freshness through random selection from multiple similar segments. This allows the music to adapt over time while maintaining the expected audio experience for each location.
Solution Approach 2:
The patent changes the parameter of music selection from fixed to variable. Instead of permanently associating specific music segments with locations, the system uses acoustic models to generate music segments with specific acoustic parameters (tempo, mood, instrumentation) that match the location requirements. This allows the music to evolve while maintaining the desired acoustic characteristics.
2Device complexity
If the same music segments are reused at particular locations, then the system remains simple and easy to manage, but user engagement decreases over time
Solution Approach 1:
The patent uses copying by creating multiple music segments that copy the essential acoustic characteristics of reference segments. The acoustic model analyzes reference music segments and generates new segments that replicate their acoustic properties (tempo, mood, instrumentation). This allows the system to maintain simplicity by using the same acoustic model repeatedly while producing fresh music variants that keep users engaged.
Solution Approach 2:
The patent applies segmentation by dividing the music library into multiple discrete segments that can be independently selected. Instead of using a single permanent music track, the system segments the music into multiple variants that share similar acoustic characteristics. This allows the system to maintain simplicity in management while providing variety through random selection from multiple segments.
3Adaptability or versatility
If music is updated continuously to maintain freshness, then the digital environment remains current and engaging, but the system complexity increases
Solution Approach 1:
The patent applies self-service by enabling the system to update its own music content automatically. The acoustic model continuously generates new music segments based on reference segments, and the system automatically selects and replaces old segments with fresh ones. This self-updating mechanism maintains music freshness without requiring external intervention or complex manual management processes.
Solution Approach 2:
The patent uses feedback by continuously monitoring and evaluating the acoustic characteristics of music segments. The acoustic model analyzes reference segments and uses this feedback to generate new segments that match the desired acoustic properties. This feedback loop ensures the system maintains freshness by automatically adjusting music selections based on acoustic analysis.
