Abstract
Methods and systems for modification of electronic system operation based on acoustic ambience classification are presented. In an example method, at least one audio signal present in a physical environment of a user is detected. The at least one audio signal is analyzed to extract at least one audio feature from the audio signal. The audio signal is classified based on the audio feature to produce at least one classification of the audio signal. Operation of an electronic system interacting with the user in the physical environment is modified based on the classification of the audio signal.
Claims20
A non-transitory computer readable storage medium comprising instructions that, when executed, cause one or more processors to perform a set of operations comprising:
- extracting audio information from a first audio signal, wherein the first audio signal detected by a sensor during presentation of media content in an environment, and wherein the audio information corresponds to the media content;
- extracting supplemental audio information from a second audio signal, wherein the second audio signal is detected by the sensor during the presentation of the media content in the environment, and wherein the supplemental audio information indicates an action by one or more users in the environment;
- assigning a first classification to the first audio signal based on the audio information;
- assigning a second classification to the second audio signal based on the supplemental audio information;
- and
- causing a media player to modify the media content based on the second classification of the second audio signal.
A computer-implemented method comprising:
- extracting audio information from a first audio signal, wherein the first audio signal is detected by a sensor during presentation of media content in an environment, and wherein the audio information corresponds to the media content;
- extracting supplemental audio information from a second audio signal, wherein the second audio signal is detected by the sensor during the presentation of the media content in the environment, and wherein the supplemental audio information indicates an action by one or more users in the environment;
- assigning a first classification to the first audio signal based on the audio information;
- assigning a second classification to the second audio signal based on the supplemental audio information;
- and
- causing a media player to modify the media content based on the second classification of the second audio signal.
A computing system comprising:
- one or more sensors;
- one or more processors;
- a non-transitory computer readable storage medium comprising instructions that, when executed, cause the one or more processors to perform a set of operations comprising:
- extracting audio information from a first audio signal, wherein the first audio signal is detected by the one or more sensors during presentation of media content in an environment, and wherein the audio information corresponds to the media content;
- extracting supplemental audio information from a second audio signal, wherein the second audio signal is detected by the one or more sensors during the presentation of the media content in the environment, and wherein the supplemental audio information indicates an action by one or more users in the environment;
- assigning a first classification to the first audio signal based on the audio information;
- assigning a second classification to the second audio signal based on the supplemental audio information;
- and
- causing a media player to modify the media content based on the second classification of the second audio signal.
