Automated remote music identification device and system

A method of using a device including

• a processor,
• a microphone;
• a storage unit and a communication unit, for identification of ambient music from a source external to the device, the method comprising:
• receiving, via the processor, a first sample interval time length;
• using the microphone to record a first input sound signal for the first sample interval time length and to generate a first sample interval data based on the first input sound signal;
• storing, in the storage unit, the first sample interval data;
• transmitting, via the communication unit, the first sample interval data to a computerized device for song identification corresponding to the first sample interval data;
• operating a sample interval timer within the processor, the sample interval timer configured to count down an interval remaining time in the first sample interval time length;
• and
• operating a cycle timer within the processor, the cycle timer configured to count down a cycle remaining time in a cycle time length, the cycle time length including the first sample interval time length and a non-recording length of time;
• and
• operating a trigger;
• the trigger configured to activate the cycle timer and interval timer to simultaneously count down the first time interval and the total cycle time.

A non-transitory machine-readable medium containing a set of executable instructions to facilitate a method of ambient music identification at a location, the method comprising:

• receiving, via a graphical user interface, location data corresponding to a venue street address and a venue name wherein the ambient music exists;
• using a microphone and a processor to record ambient music occurring during a first interval sample time length;
• generating first interval sample data based on the ambient music occurring during the first interval sample time length;
• transmitting the first interval sample data paired with the location data to a computerized device for music identification of a song corresponding to the first interval sample data;
• and
• operating a sample interval timer within the processor, the sample interval timer configured to count down an interval remaining time in the first sample interval time length;
• and
• operating a cycle timer within the processor, the cycle timer configured to count down a cycle remaining time in a cycle time length, the cycle time length including the first sample interval time length and a non-recording length of time;
• and
• operating a trigger;
• the trigger configured to activate the cycle timer and interval timer to simultaneously count down the first time interval and the total cycle time.
