Automatic Playlist Generation from Web Text
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Existing methods for generating playlists require manual user input of artist, album, or song names, limiting the convenience of creating playlists from text mentioning media content on web pages or other sources.
Innovation Solution
A method and device for automatically generating playlists by processing selected text, such as from web pages, to identify media information and create a list of media items, including artist names, songs, albums, or other media content, without manual user input, using HTML processing and search engines to extract relevant information.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Ease of operation
If manual user input is required for generating playlists, then playlist accuracy can be maintained, but user convenience and time efficiency deteriorate
Solution Approach 1:
The system automatically extracts media information from web page content and generates playlists without requiring manual user input. The processor identifies media items, artists, albums, and other relevant information from the web page text and autonomously creates the playlist structure, allowing the system to serve itself rather than requiring continuous user intervention.
Solution Approach 2:
The system performs preliminary extraction and organization of media information from web page content before the user needs to create a playlist. By pre-processing the web page data and identifying relevant media items in advance, the system prepares the necessary information structure so that playlist generation can occur quickly when requested.
2Productivity
If automatic playlist generation from web pages is implemented, then productivity is improved, but measurement precision of media information extraction may worsen
Solution Approach 1:
The system employs feedback mechanisms where the extracted media information is validated against known data structures and patterns. The processor analyzes the extracted information and adjusts its extraction criteria based on the quality and consistency of results, improving accuracy over time while maintaining high productivity through automated processing.

AI summary
Embodiments for automatically generating playlists from selected text are provided. In one example, a method of generating a playlist comprising a list of media items comprises receiving a request to generate a playlist from a selected text, obtaining identification information for one or more items of media information within the selected text, and generating the playlist with a list of media items identified from the one or more items of media information within the selected text.
