Abstract
Apparatus and method for Newness Control of a Personalized Music and/or Entertainment Sequence. Apparatus for personalized music or entertainment may include a newness control, configured to be adjustable by a user, to indicate an amount or portion of new compositions that the user desires to experience. A processor or processors may be configured to generate a sequence of compositions for said user; so that the amount or portion of new compositions in the sequence of compositions, varies in response to the newness control. Compositions that are new to the user may be determined by a history or information about the user; and/or history or information about other users that are determined to be friends-with or similar to the user.
Claims33
Apparatus for personalized music or entertainment, comprising:
- a newness user-interface or control, comprising electronic-circuitry that captures an indication of, an amount or portion of new compositions that a user desires to experience;
- a memory or memories for storing a list of new compositions, wherein said new compositions were determined to be new to said user, by using a history or information about said user;
- and
- electronic-circuitry and/or processor(s) that generate a sequence of compositions for said user, that includes highlight compositions of said compositions that are new to said user;
- and wherein the amount or portion of highlight compositions in said sequence of compositions, varies in response to said newness user-interface or control.

A method for personalized music or entertainment, comprising:
- capturing from a newness user-interface or control at a user-device, an indication of an amount or portion of new compositions that a user desires to experience;
- storing a list of new compositions in a memory or memories, wherein said new compositions were determined to be new to said user, by using a history or information about said user;
- and
- generating, with electronic-circuitry and/or processor(s), a sequence of compositions for said user;
- and wherein the amount or portion of highlight compositions in said sequence of compositions, varies in response to said newness user-interface or control.
One or more computer-readable memories or storage media, not including carrier-waves, having computer-readable instructions thereon which, when executed by one or more processing devices, implement a method of personalized music or entertainment, the method comprising:
- capturing from a newness user-interface or control at a user-device, an indication of an amount or portion of new compositions that a user desires to experience;
- storing a list of new compositions in a memory or memories, wherein said new compositions were determined to be new to said user, by using a history or information about said user;
- and
- generating, with electronic-circuitry and/or processor(s), a sequence of compositions for said user;
- and wherein the amount or portion of new highlight compositions in said sequence of compositions, varies in response to said newness user-interface or control.
