Abstract
Techniques described herein automatically associate an image with an audio track. At least some implementations identify an audio track of interest, and automate associating an image with the audio track. Some implementations gather context information during playback of an audio track, and use the context information to automatically identify an image to associate with the audio track. Upon associating the image with the audio track, various implementations render the image during subsequent playback of the audio track.
Claims20
A computer-implemented method comprising:
- automatically identifying an audio track of interest by monitoring user interactions with a computing device;
- gathering context information during playback of the audio track, the context information including information describing an environment in which playback of the audio track occurs, wherein the context information comprises a particular date on which playback of the audio track occurred;
- automatically identifying an image to associate with the audio track of interest based, at least in part, on the context information, the automatically identifying the image including searching for an event that occurred on the particular date and identifying an image corresponding to the event;
- associating the image with the audio track of interest;
- and
- rendering the image during subsequent playback of the audio track of interest.
3 more elements
A computing device comprising:
- one or more processors;
- and
- one or more computer-readable storage memories comprising processor-executable instructions that, responsive to execution by the one or more processors, cause the computing device to perform operations comprising:
- automatically identifying an audio track of interest by monitoring user interactions with the computing device;
- gathering context information during playback of the audio track of interest by the computing device, the context information including information describing an environment in which playback of the audio track by the computing device occurs, wherein the context information comprises a particular date on which playback of the audio track of interest occurred;
- automatically identifying an image to associate with the audio track of interest based, at least in part, on the context information, wherein said automatically identifying the image comprises searching for an event that occurred on the particular date and identifying an image corresponding to the event;
- associating the image with the audio track of interest;
- and
- rendering the image during subsequent playback of the audio track of interest.
6 more elements
A computing device comprising:
- a playback control module, implemented at least in part in hardware, to provide a user interface with one or more selectable controls;
- and
- a context engine module, implemented at least in part in hardware, to automatically identify an audio track of interest by monitoring user interactions with a computing device, gather context information during playback of the audio track, the context information including information describing an environment in which playback of the audio track occurs, wherein the context information comprises a particular date on which playback of the audio track of interest occurred, automatically identify an image to associate with the audio track of interest based, at least in part, on the context information, wherein said automatically identifying the image comprises searching for an event that occurred on the particular date and identifying an image corresponding to the event, associate the image with the audio track of interest, and render the image during subsequent playback of the audio track of interest.
