Geolocation-Based Audio Playlist Curation
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Current mobile applications limit the sharing of experiences by only allowing users to capture and share images or videos, which does not fully immerse others in the event, as the shared experience is restricted and lacks depth.
Innovation Solution
A system that generates geolocation-based playlists using audio data from client devices, allowing users to experience audio content captured at specific locations, such as concerts or festivals, by identifying and curating audio content items based on location data and user contributions, and presenting them as playlists or integrated into event stories.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Loss of information
If users share only images and videos, then the sharing mechanism is simple and easy to implement, but the depth and immersion of the shared experience is limited
Solution Approach 1:
The patent combines multiple types of data (audio recordings, location data, event information) into a unified shared experience package. By merging audio content with visual content and metadata, the system creates a more comprehensive representation of the event without requiring separate sharing mechanisms for each data type.
Solution Approach 2:
The shared experience system is designed to handle multiple types of content (images, videos, audio recordings, location data) through a single unified platform. This multi-functional approach allows users to share diverse experience elements without needing separate systems for each content type, thus reducing overall complexity while increasing information depth.
2Loss of information
If audio content from multiple users is collected and curated into playlists, then the immersive experience is enhanced, but the system complexity and processing requirements increase
Solution Approach 1:
The system employs automated curation algorithms that independently process and organize user-submitted audio content into playlists based on event context and content characteristics. This self-service approach reduces the need for manual curation effort while maintaining high-quality, immersive experience packages. The automated system handles content filtering, organization, and playlist generation without requiring extensive human intervention.
Solution Approach 2:
The system incorporates feedback mechanisms where user interactions with shared experiences (such as playback patterns, ratings, and engagement metrics) are analyzed to continuously improve playlist curation. This feedback loop enables the system to refine its content selection and organization algorithms, enhancing experience completeness while optimizing processing efficiency through learned patterns.
3Measurement precision
If geolocation data is used to organize audio content by location, then the contextual relevance is improved, but the data processing and storage requirements increase
Solution Approach 1:
The system extracts only the essential location information (geolocation coordinates and associated event context) from the audio data, separating this metadata from the actual audio content. This extraction approach allows the system to maintain precise location tracking for organizing audio content by venue or event without unnecessarily duplicating or storing redundant data, thus managing data volume efficiently while preserving location accuracy.
Data Source
AI summary
A data package is received from a plurality of devices. Each data package comprises audio content captured by a respective device from the plurality of devices. Each data package further comprises metadata including a location of the respective device when the audio content was captured and a time at which the audio content was captured. A subset of the data packages that include audio content captured within a specified geographic area and within a specified time period is identified based on the metadata. A playlist for the specified area and the specified time period is generated based on the subset of data packages. The playlist may be provided to at least a first device.
