Modification of electronic system operation based on acoustic ambience classification

A non-transitory computer-readable storage medium comprising instructions that, when executed by at least one processor of a machine, cause the machine to perform operations including:

• detecting at least one audio signal present in a physical environment while a media player is playing a song having a genre, the at least one audio signal including first audio data corresponding to the song, second audio data associated with a person exposed to the song, and third audio data associated with noise in the physical environment different than the first audio data and the second audio data;
• cancelling the third audio data from the at least one audio signal to generate at least one filtered audio signal;
• analyzing the at least one filtered audio signal to extract at least one audio feature from the at least one audio signal;
• classifying the at least one filtered audio signal based on the at least one audio feature to produce a classification of the at least one filtered audio signal, the classification including a reaction of the person to the media content being played by the media player;
• and
• based on the genre and the reaction, automatically modifying operation of the media player by modifying a playlist of media content played by the media player to include more songs of the genre.

A system comprising:

• at least one microphone configured to detect at least one audio signal present in a physical environment while a media player is playing a song having a genre, the at least one audio signal including first audio data corresponding to the song, second audio data associated with a person exposed to the song, and third audio data associated with noise in the physical environment different than the first audio data and the second audio data;
• at least one processor;
• and
• memory including instructions that, when executed by the at least one processor, cause the system to perform operations including:
• cancelling the third audio data from the at least one audio signal to generate at least one filtered audio signal;
• analyzing the at least one filtered audio signal to extract at least one audio feature from the at least one audio signal;
• classifying the at least one filtered audio signal based on the at least one audio feature to produce a classification of the at least one filtered audio signal, the classification including a reaction of the person to the media content being played by the media player;
• and
• based on the genre and the reaction, automatically modifying operation of the media player by modifying a playlist of media content played by the media player to include more songs of the genre.
