Latest Patents

Among his latest patents is a groundbreaking application titled "Gesture-enabled interfaces, systems, methods, and applications for generating digital chord and lyric compositions." This music composition application for mobile devices provides gesture-driven interfaces for rapidly creating digital music compositions with chord and lyric notations. In certain embodiments, a gesture-driven composer environment can be configured in various modes to enable end-users to input and align chord notations with lyric notations, align chord notations with beat notations, and incorporate the chord with musical scores. The chord notations can be stored as chord objects with embedded information that can be propagated across the different modes, and the application facilitates transitions among modes while maintaining consistent chord information. Gesture-based inputs allow users to easily insert, reposition, and customize chord notations. The application also provides audio playback functionality by translating the digital music composition into analog audio signals. Another significant patent is directed to "Gesture-enabled interfaces, systems, methods, and applications for generating digital music compositions." This disclosure focuses on systems, methods, apparatuses, and techniques that utilize enhanced gesture-based input mechanisms to facilitate rapid creation and editing of digital music compositions. These technologies can be specially designed and configured to optimize creation, editing, and/or sharing of digital music compositions on mobile electronic devices that include capacitive sensing mechanisms. The technologies include multi-gesture functionalities that enable users to view and access various notation customization features in a compact space of a mobile device display. Additionally, the technologies encompass improved data storage models that enable underlying notation data to be accessed in multiple operational modes, and permit frequencies or pitches of notations to be accurately generated and incorporated into audio signals.
