Abstract
In one aspect, an example method to be performed by a computing device includes (a) receiving a request to use a camera of the computing device; (b) in response to receiving the request, (i) using a microphone of the computing device to capture audio content and (ii) using the camera of the computing device to capture an image; (c) identifying reference audio content that has at least a threshold extent of similarity with the captured audio content; and (d) outputting an indication of the identified reference audio content while displaying the captured image.
Claims20
A computing device, comprising:
- a camera;
- a microphone;
- one or more processors;
- and
- a non-transitory, computer-readable medium storing instructions that, when executed by the one or more processors, cause the computing device to perform a set of acts comprising:
- detecting one or more predetermined phrases indicating a request to capture an image;
- in response to detecting the one or more predetermined phrases indicating a request to capture an image, using the microphone of the computing device to capture audio content;
- generating audio fingerprint data of the captured audio content;
- storing the audio fingerprint data with a captured image on the computing device;
- receiving a user input representing a selection of the captured image on the computing device;
- and
- in response to receiving the user input, using the stored audio fingerprint data to identify reference audio content that has at least a threshold extent of similarity with the captured audio content.
A method to be performed by a computing device, the method comprising:
- detecting one or more predetermined phrases indicating a request to capture an image;
- in response to detecting the one or more predetermined phrases indicating a request to capture an image, using a microphone of the computing device to capture audio content;
- generating audio fingerprint data of the captured audio content;
- storing the audio fingerprint data with a captured image on the computing device;
- receiving a user input representing a selection of the captured image on the computing device;
- and
- in response to receiving the user input, using the stored audio fingerprint data to identify reference audio content that has at least a threshold extent of similarity with the captured audio content.
A non-transitory computer-readable medium, having stored thereon program instructions that, upon execution by a computing system, cause the computing system to perform a set of operations comprising:
- detecting one or more predetermined phrases indicating a request to capture an image;
- in response to detecting the one or more predetermined phrases indicating a request to capture an image, using a microphone of a computing device to capture audio content;
- generating audio fingerprint data of the captured audio content;
- storing the audio fingerprint data with the captured image on the computing device;
- receiving a user input representing a selection of the captured image on the computing device;
- and
- in response to receiving the user input, using the stored audio fingerprint data to identify reference audio content that has at least a threshold extent of similarity with the captured audio content.
