Solution Overview

Problem

In the digital music era, users face challenges in quickly accessing song credits and utilizing this information to discover new music, with surveys indicating a demand for personalized playlists based on credential data.

Innovation Solution

A platform that identifies multimedia tracks through audio signals, cross-references databases to retrieve bibliographical data, and allows users to curate playlists based on selected parameters such as producers, artists, and other related data points, enabling the generation of personalized playlists.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Loss of information

If users manually search for song credits and artist information in the current digital music era, then they can access bibliographical data, but the process is time-consuming and difficult

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveaccess to song credits and artist informationVSAvoidtime to access and search for music credits
Core Design Contradiction:
Loss of informationVSLoss of time

Solution Approach 1:

The system pre-processes and structures bibliographical data (artist credits, producer information, album details) from multiple databases before user requests. By having this information readily available and organized in advance, users can immediately access comprehensive credit information without manual searching, resolving the contradiction between information completeness and access time

Inventive Principle:
Principle #10Preliminary action

Solution Approach 2:

The patent introduces an intermediary platform that acts as a mediator between users and multiple music databases. This intermediary system automatically queries, aggregates, and presents bibliographical data, eliminating the need for users to manually search across different sources and significantly reducing the time required to access comprehensive song credits

Inventive Principle:
Principle #24Intermediary (Mediator)

2Adaptability or versatility

If the platform presents multiple parameters and options for user selection, then users can curate personalized playlists based on credentials, but the interface complexity increases

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvepersonalized playlist curation based on credentialsVSAvoidinterface complexity for parameter selection
Core Design Contradiction:
Adaptability or versatilityVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The patent segments the playlist curation process into distinct, manageable stages: first presenting primary parameters (artist, producer, album), then offering secondary refinement options. This segmentation allows users to engage with the system at their comfort level, providing personalized curation capabilities without overwhelming them with all parameters simultaneously

Inventive Principle:
Principle #1Segmentation

Solution Approach 2:

The system implements partial action by allowing users to select only the parameters they are interested in, rather than requiring completion of all available options. Users can curate playlists with just one or two parameters of interest, reducing interface complexity while maintaining adaptability for those who want to explore more parameters

Inventive Principle:
Principle #16Partial or excessive action
