System and method for playing audio corresponding to an image

A system (100) for playing an audio selection corresponding to an image, the system comprising:

• one or more user devices (102) associated with one or more user profiles, each of the one or more user devices (102) comprising one or more processors, a display screen, an audio output unit and a camera, wherein the user device captures the image by the camera;
• a server (106) communicatively coupled to the one or more user devices (102) through a network (104);
• wherein
• the user device (102) is configured to scan the captured image to extract one or more visual data corresponding to the captured image, and send the one or more visual data to the server though the network;
• the server (106) is configured to recognize image information corresponding to the image using the one or more visual data, search for one audio selection based on the image information, the one or more visual data, and the user profile, wherein the one audio selection is searched from a pre-created audio playlist database associated with the user profile and maintained by the user;
• send a list comprising the one searched audio selection along with audio data to the user device;
• and
• the user device (102) upon receiving the list comprising the one audio selection, is configured to display the one audio selection, and play the audio selection from the one audio selection in the list.

A computer-readable storage device bearing computer-executable instructions which, when executed on a computing system comprising at least a processor, carry out a computer-implemented method for playing an audio selection corresponding to an image, the method comprising each of the following as implemented by a processor on the computing system:

• capturing (202) the image by a camera of a user device from the one or more user devices, wherein the user device is associated with a user profile;
• scanning (204) the captured image to extract one or more visual data corresponding to the captured image;
• sending (206) the one or more visual data to the server though the network;
• recognizing (208), by the server, image information corresponding to the image using the one or more visual data;
• searching (210) for one audio selection by the server based on the image information, the one or more visual data and the user profile, wherein the one audio selection is searched from a pre-created audio playlist database associated with the user profile and maintained by the user;
• displaying (212) a list comprising the one audio selection searched on the user device;
• and
• receiving (214) audio data corresponding to the one audio selection from the one audio selection by the user device.
