Text-to-Music Linking via Keyword Correlation
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Traditional printed books lack interactive features that enhance the reading experience without disrupting the immersive nature of reading, as features like augmented reality or buttons with printed circuits can interrupt the flow.
Innovation Solution
Systems and methods that match text keywords with music attributes using a correlation table, adding computer-readable codes to link to musical playlists, allowing for background ambient enrichment without interrupting the reading experience.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Adaptability or versatility
If interactive features like augmented reality or buttons with printed circuits are added to printed books, then the reading experience is enhanced, but the immersive nature of reading is disrupted
Solution Approach 1:
The patent extracts the interactive music feature from the physical book structure and places it in the digital domain through QR codes. The music playback functionality is separated from the physical reading experience, allowing readers to engage with music without disrupting the immersive reading flow. The book remains a passive container while music is delivered through optional digital links.
Solution Approach 2:
QR codes serve as an intermediary element between the physical book and digital music resources. These codes act as a bridge that allows readers to access music playlists without direct integration into the book's physical structure, maintaining the book's simplicity while enabling music enhancement through a minimalistic digital interface.
2Adaptability or versatility
If music links are added to electronic files, then the reading experience is enhanced through background music, but the complexity of the electronic file increases
Solution Approach 1:
The patent segments the music enhancement feature from the main text content by using separate QR codes placed at strategic locations in the book. Each QR code links to a specific music playlist corresponding to a particular section or theme of the book. This segmentation allows the music functionality to be added without embedding complex code within the electronic file itself.
Solution Approach 2:
Instead of embedding music files directly into the electronic book, the patent uses QR codes that copy-link to music playlists hosted externally on digital platforms. This approach adds music enhancement functionality while keeping the original electronic file structure simple and unchanged, as the music sources are copied from external locations rather than integrated.
3Measurement precision
If keywords are matched to music attributes using correlation tables, then music selection accuracy is improved, but the processing time and computational resources increase
Solution Approach 1:
The patent performs preliminary action by pre-matching keywords to music attributes and pre-selecting appropriate playlists before the reader actually needs the music. The correlation tables and music selection logic are prepared in advance during book production, so that when a reader scans a QR code, the system can quickly retrieve pre-identified music without performing complex real-time analysis.
Solution Approach 2:
The patent applies partial action by using correlation tables that map only the most significant and commonly occurring keywords to their corresponding music attributes. Rather than analyzing every possible word combination in the text, the system focuses on key thematic keywords that reliably indicate the appropriate music mood and style, reducing computational requirements while maintaining adequate accuracy.
Data Source
AI summary
An input/output of a system receives an electronic file comprising text. A processor of the system identifies keywords in the text. The processor correlates the keywords to music attributes and matches the music attributes to musical works. The processor determines computer network locations of the musical works. The processor also adds links to the network locations of the musical works to the electronic file to create a music-enhanced electronic file. The input/output outputs the music-enhanced electronic file that now contains the links to the musical works.
