Abstract
Apparatus, systems and methods provide incentive-based usage of an audio recognition system. In an aspect, a system is provided that includes a query component configured to receive an audio sample from a device and a recognition component configured to determine an identification of the audio sample. The system further includes a reward component configured to identify a reward associated with the identification of the audio sample, wherein the query component is further configured to provide a query result to the device, the query result comprising the identification of the audio sample and the reward associated therewith.
Claims18
A computer-implemented method comprising:
- receiving, by a server of an audio recognition system from a client device associated with a user, a query comprising an audio sample, wherein the audio sample was captured via a microphone of the client device;
- providing, by the server to the client device, a result to the query that identifies a video item having audio content identified as similar to the audio sample;
- subsequent to providing the query result, receiving, by the server from the client device, a user acknowledgement of consumption of the video item identified in the query result;
- determining that a number of user acknowledgements by the user satisfies a threshold number, wherein the number of user acknowledgements comprise the user acknowledgement of consumption of the video item identified in the query result and one or more additional user acknowledgments of consumption of related video items in previous query results;
- and
- responsive to determining the number of the user acknowledgements by the user satisfies the threshold number, providing, to the client device by the server, a content item related to the video item.
A non-transitory computer-readable storage medium comprising instructions that, responsive to execution by a server, perform operations comprising:
- receiving, by the server of an audio recognition system from a client device associated with a user, a query comprising an audio sample;
- providing, by the server to the client device, a result to the query that identifies a video item associated with audio content identified as similar to the audio sample;
- subsequent to providing the query result, receiving, by the server from the client device, a user acknowledgement of consumption of the video item identified in the query result;
- determining that a number of user acknowledgements by the user satisfies a threshold number, wherein the number of user acknowledgements comprise the user acknowledgement of consumption of the video item identified in the query result and one or more additional user acknowledgments of consumption of related video items in previous query results;
- and
- responsive to determining the number of the user acknowledgments by the user satisfies the threshold number, providing, to the client device, a content item related to the video item.
A computer-implemented method comprising:
- capturing, by a client device associated with a user, an audio sample via a microphone of the client device;
- transmitting, by the client device to an audio recognition system, a query comprising the audio sample;
- receiving, by the client device from the audio recognition system, a query result identifying a video item associated with audio content identified as similar to the audio sample;
- subsequent to receiving the query result, providing, by the client device, a user acknowledgement of consumption of the video item identified in the query result;
- and
- based on a number of the user acknowledgments satisfying a threshold number, receiving, by the client device, a content item related to the video item, wherein the number of user acknowledgements comprise the user acknowledgement of the consumption of the video item identified in the query result and one or more additional user acknowledgements of consumption of related video item in previous query results satisfying.
