US 2025/0224918 A1 · Immersive Contextual Audio Effects In E-Books With Generative Artificial Intelligence (AI) Systems

Abstract

Various embodiments include systems and methods of using an LXM to augment and enhance the reading experience of an eBook with contextual sound and music. A computing device may be configured to use large generative artificial intelligence model (LXM) to analyze eBooks to identify key narrative elements such as settings, mood, themes, character details, location, time period, and sound-effect descriptors (e.g., dialogue intensity, transition points, etc.). The computing device may use the analysis results (or LXM query results) to select a soundscape or sounds and/or music that align with the mood, setting, character traits, and narrative cues identified in the eBook content (e.g., gentle, nature-related sounds for a serene forest setting, intense music for suspenseful scenes, etc.).

Claims20

Dependent claims

A computing device, comprising:

a memory;
a display configured to display an electronic book (eBook);
a sound-producing component;
and
at least one processor coupled to the memory, the display and the sound-producing component, and configured to:
generate a generative artificial intelligence model (LXM) prompt based on context and narrative elements of a section of an eBook;
apply the generated LXM prompt to a local or remote LXM to receive an LXM response;
determine context-appropriate sounds for a subsection of the eBook on which a reader is currently focused based on the received LXM response;
and
output the determined context-appropriate sounds on the sound-producing component.
