A shot fired detector can receive an audio signal or acoustic stream and determine that a firearm has been discharged. One or more detectors can be used to continuously capture acoustic streams and process the acoustic streams for anomaly detection. A detected anomaly can be classified by a machine learning model to detect that a shot has been fired. The detector can send acoustic data and meta data associated with the shot fired to a server for further storage and/or processing. An alert can be automatically generated that is associated with the shot fired.

Detection, analysis and reporting of firearm discharge

Disclosed are various embodiments of systems and methods for generating composite mediasets from mediasets, each comprising media items, associated with a plurality of users. In some embodiments, individual and/or group recommendations are provided for creating a group playlist by aggregating user taste data for a plurality of users in a group. In other embodiments, systems and methods are provided which allow for sharing and playing of a group playlist by users in a group, each of which has a media playback device. In still other embodiments, systems and methods are provided for dynamically building a composite playlist that may be updated as users enter and/or leave the group. One example of an interactive entertainment application also is described for use at a venue to entertain live guests with music selections that are dynamically influenced by the guests' individual tastes.

Dynamic interactive entertainment venue

A computer implemented process for generating customized, user-specific programming for delivery over a network, each programming unit comprising one or more media items, such as song tracks, and at least one promotional media item, such as a commercial advertisement. The media items are selected in response to implicit user taste data, and promotional media items or ads are selected where a media item associated with the promotional media item matches at least one media data item identified as responsive to the user taste data. The media items and the promotional media items are selected so as to constrain the promotional program unit to incur a net cost of no more that a selected maximum cost, wherein the net cost is determined as a sum of the licensing costs of the selected media items, reduced by a sum of the expected revenues generated by the selected promotional media items.

Systems and methods for promotional media item selection and promotional program unit generation

Disclosed are various embodiments of systems and methods for generating composite mediasets from mediasets, each comprising media items, associated with a plurality of users. In some embodiments, individual and/or group recommendations are provided for creating a group playlist by aggregating user taste data for a plurality of users in a group. In other embodiments, systems and methods are provided which allow for sharing and playing of a group playlist by users in a group, each of which has a media playback device. Each media item, such as a song, is played from one of the individual user devices for the benefit of all users in the vicinity at the time. Music thus can be 'shared' without transferring files potentially in violation of copyrights.

Mediaset generation system

Disclosed are embodiments of systems and methods for prioritizing mobile media player files by providing for the automated addition and/or deletion of media items for a mobile media player. In some embodiments, a statistical method may be provided for inferring which media items on a mobile media player should be deleted based on, for example, user taste data. In some embodiments, new media items may be loaded onto a user's mobile media player by creating one or more playlists from a playlist builder. The playlist(s) may be created by using user taste data. Rankings may also be created to determine an order for deletion of the media items currently on a mobile media player and/or for addition of new media items to the device.

Systems and methods for prioritizing mobile media player files

Systems and methods for prioritizing media files in a presentation device

Disclosed are embodiments of systems and methods for selection of promotional media items and/or generation of promotional or advertising units. In one embodiment, a set of promotional media items may be dynamically identified responsive to an input set of media items. In another embodiment, a promotional program unit is generated in response to receipt of user taste data for a user or group of users. The promotional program unit is an integral unit made up of one or more media items and one or more promotional media items.
