A music search engine is invented to find a desired song in the database by comparing the melodies. This invention comprises two major parts: a client-end and a server-end. The client-end converts various input formats into a note sequence and sends it to the server-end engine. The server-end then compares the note sequence with the melodies in the database and finds the closest match. This invention enables us to search music by its melodic content instead of titles, lyrics or other annotated information. Moreover, this invention tolerates inaccurate inputs so that even less skilled people can hum to the system with inaccurate melody and find the target song.

Melody-based music search

A debugger produces a display based on instructions executed by a circuit simulator or verification tool and on waveform data produced by the simulator or verification tool when executing the instructions. The instructions include a set of statements, each corresponding to a separate circuit signal generated by a circuit and each including a function defining a value of the circuit signal as a function of values of other circuit signals. The simulator evaluates the statements at various simulation times to compute signal values at those simulation times. The waveform data indicates signal values the simulator computes when evaluating the statements. The debugger display includes a set of statement event symbols, each corresponding to a separate evaluation of a statement and each positioned in the display to indicate a simulation time at which the simulator evaluated the statement. Each statement event symbol references the signal whose value is computed by the corresponding statement evaluation and indicates a value of that signal computed when the statement was evaluated. Each statement event symbol also references the other signals having values of which the statement indicates the computed signal value is a function and indicates those other signals values as of the simulation time at which the statement was evaluated.
