Methods and systems for modification of electronic system operation based on acoustic ambience classification are presented. In an example method, at least one audio signal present in a physical environment of a user is detected. The at least one audio signal is analyzed to extract at least one audio feature from the audio signal. The audio signal is classified based on the audio feature to produce at least one classification of the audio signal. Operation of an electronic system interacting with the user in the physical environment is modified based on the classification of the audio signal.

Modification of electronic system operation based on acoustic ambience classification

Systems and methods in accordance with various embodiments of the present disclosure provide improved techniques to process and manage media content and associated intellectual property rights associated with the media content. Intellectual property rights associated with media content can include copyright, trademarks, licenses to composition, synchronization, performance, recordings, etc. In particular, various embodiments provide media licensing management and monetization based on media licensing using a centralized registry of media content and associated asset rights.

Media content processing techniques for rights and clearance management

Example methods and systems for modifying the playback of content using pre-processed profile information are described. Example instructions, when executed, cause at least one processor to access a media stream that includes media and a profile of equalization parameters, the media stream provided to a device via a network, the profile of equalization parameters included in the media stream selected based on a comparison of a reference fingerprint to a query fingerprint generated based on the media, the profile of equalization parameters including an equalization parameter for the media; and modify playback of the media based on the equalization parameter specified in the accessed profile.

Modifying playback of content using pre-processed profile information

Systems and methods in accordance with various embodiments of the present disclosure may overcome one or more of the aforementioned and other deficiencies experienced in conventional approaches to distribute media content digitally and manage associated intellectual property rights in a secure, immutable, efficient, and automatic manner. Intellectual property rights associated with media content can include copyright, trademarks, licenses to composition, synchronization, performance, recordings, etc. In particular, various embodiments provide media licensing management using blockchains.

Media licensing method and system using blockchain

Example methods and systems for inserting information into playing content are described. In some example embodiments, the methods and systems may identify a break in content playing via a playback device, select an information segment representative of information received by the playback device to present during the identified break, and insert the information segment into the content playing via the playback device upon an occurrence of the identified break.

Inserting information into playing content

Example methods and systems for inserting information into playing content are described. In some example embodiments, the methods and systems may identify at a playback device, content by comparing a fingerprint of the real-time content to reference fingerprints, each of the reference fingerprints corresponding to different media, identify, at the playback device, a break in the real-time content playing via the playback device based on the identification of the real-time content, select an information segment to present during the break based on information captured by a location determination component, and insert the information segment into the real-time content playing via the playback device upon an occurrence of the break.

Systems and methods in accordance with various embodiments of the present disclosure provide improved techniques to process and identify segments of media content and associated intellectual property rights associated with the media content. Intellectual property rights associated with media content may include copyright, trademarks, licenses to composition, synchronization, performance, recordings, etc. In particular, various embodiments provide improved techniques to identify segments of media content using fingerprinting and/or other heuristic rules to identify the original source of the segments of media content, the rights holders, and/or rights associated with the segments of media content.

Media content processing techniques using fingerprinting and heuristics

Example methods and systems for modifying the playback of content using pre-processed profile information are described. In some example embodiments, the methods and systems may access a stream of content to be delivered to a playback device, identify a piece of content within the stream of content to be delivered to the playback device, determine a profile for the identified piece of content, and deliver the determined profile to the playback device. In some example embodiments, the methods and systems may receive a stream of content at a playback device, access profile information associated with the stream of content, and modify playback of the stream of content based on the accessed profile information.
