Abstract
The present invention relates to systems and methods for customizing media (e.g., songs, text, books, stories, video, audio . . . ) via a computer network, such as the Internet. In particular, the systems and methods provide for construction of on-line social communities where orders for customized media or representative material associated with a performer's repertoire are received, performers associated with the on-line social communities are thereafter assigned to work on the orders for customized media based on their repertoire. On completion of the customization phase by the performers assigned to work on the orders and associated with the on-line social communities, the customized media is distributed to the users who initiated the order.
Claims44
A method comprising:
- retrieving an order for customized media;
- assigning a performer to the order;
- deriving a tempo-aligned first digital media of a first bit rate from a second digital media having a second bit rate that is different than the first bit rate;
- enabling the tempo-aligned first digital media to be delivered to a remote first electronic recording system corresponding to the assigned performer;
- receiving a recording of a third bit rate in response to enabling the tempo-aligned first digital media of the first bit rate to be delivered to the remote recording system;
- mixing, by a second electronic recording system that is different than the remote first electronic recording system, the second digital media of the second bit rate and content of the recording of the third bit rate;
- generating the customized media responsive to the mixing;
- and
- transmitting the customized media over an electronic network or storing the customized media in a memory device.
A system comprising:
- means for soliciting an order for customized media;
- means for assigning a performer to the order based on the representative information;
- means for enabling a first digital media of a first bit rate to be delivered to a remote first electronic recording system corresponding to the assigned performer, wherein the digital media of the first bit rate is derived from a second digital media having a second bit rate that is different than the first bit rate and tempo-aligned with respect to the second digital media;
- means for mixing, by a second electronic recording system that is different than the remote first electronic recording system, content of a recording of a third bit rate received after enabling the delivery and the second digital media;
- and
- means for transmitting customized media generated responsive to the mixing over an electronic network or storing the customized media in a memory device.
A computer-readable memory device having instructions stored thereon that, in response to execution by a processing device, cause the processing device to perform operations comprising:
- soliciting an order for customized media;
- assigning a performer to the order based on the representative information;
- enabling a first digital media of a first bit rate to be delivered to a remote first electronic recording system corresponding to the assigned performer, wherein the digital media for the first bit rate is derived from a second digital media having a second bit rate that is different than the first bit rate and tempo-aligned with respect to the second digital media;
- receiving a recording of a third bit rate in response to enabling the first digital media of the first bit rate to be delivered to the remote first electronic recording system;
- mixing, by a second electronic recording system that is different than the remote first electronic recording system, content of the recording and the second digital media of the second bit rate;
- generating the customized media responsive to the mixing;
- and
- transmitting the customized media over an electronic network or storing the customized media in a memory device.
