摘要： A “Music Mapper” automatically constructs a set coordinate vectors for use in inferring similarity between various pieces of music. In particular, given a music similarity graph expressed as links between various artists, albums, songs, etc., the Music Mapper applies a recursive embedding process to embed each of the graphs music entries into a multi-dimensional space. This recursive embedding process also embeds new music items added to the music similarity graph without reembedding existing entries so long a convergent embedding solution is achieved. Given this embedding, coordinate vectors are then computed for each of the embedded musical items. The similarity between any two musical items is then determined as either a function of the distance between the two corresponding vectors. In various embodiments, this similarity is then used in constructing music playlists given one or more random or user selected seed songs or in a statistical music clustering process.

摘要： The present invention provides a large capacity, user defined audio content delivery system. The system delivers uninterrupted music and delivers information content (e.g., news by evaluating and encoding an input audio stream while outputting another stream. Undesirable audio content (e.g., advertisements and unwanted news) are not present in the output audio stream as only desired portions of information content are stored for playback on demand. The invention also includes a user interface that is simple enough to facilitate utilization of the audio system in an automobile and employs standard hardware available in typical computing and/or personal digital assistant equipment. Additionally, the audio system can be portable (e.g., as portable as a personal digital assistant) and can be updated in real time or off line via a personal computer.

摘要： The invention disclosed herein includes a system and method for electronically transferring data through a communications connection in a transparent manner such that the data transfer does not interfere with other traffic sharing the connection. The invention transfers data using bandwidth of the connection that other traffic are not using. If other traffic desires to use the bandwidth currently being used by the invention, the invention relinquishes the bandwidth to the other traffic and retreats to avoid bandwidth contention. Although a retreat may cause gaps in the data transferred, a key aspect of the invention is that any missing data due to these gaps is recovered easily and in a bandwidth-efficient way using novel error correction and recovery.

摘要： A “media stream customizer” customizes buffered media streams by inserting one or more media objects into the stream to maintain an approximate buffer level. Specifically, when media objects such as songs, jingles, advertisements, etc., are deleted from the buffered stream (based on some user specified preferences), the buffer level will decrease. Therefore, over time, as more objects are deleted, the amount of the media stream being buffered continues to decrease, thereby limiting the ability to perform additional deletions from the stream. To address this limitation, the media stream customizer automatically chooses one or more media objects to insert back into the stream, and ensures that the inserted objects are consistent with any surrounding content of the media stream, thereby maintaining an approximate buffer level. In addition, the buffered content can also be stretched using pitch preserving audio stretching techniques to further compensate for deletions from the buffered stream.

摘要： A “similarity quantifier” automatically infers similarity between media objects which have no inherent measure of distance between them. For example, a human listener can easily determine that a song like Solsbury Hill by Peter Gabriel is more similar to Everybody Hurts by R.E.M. than it is to Highway to Hell by AC/DC. However, automatic determination of this similarity is typically a more difficult problem. This problem is addressed by using a combination of techniques for inferring similarities between media objects thereby facilitating media object filing, retrieval, classification, playlist construction, etc. Specifically, a combination of audio fingerprinting and repeat object detection is used for gathering statistics on broadcast media streams. These statistics include each media objects identity and positions within the media stream. Similarities between media objects are then inferred based on the observation that objects appearing closer together in an authored stream are more likely to be similar.

摘要： Disclosed are methods and systems for a receiver to autonomously allocate bandwidth among its incoming communications flows. The incoming flows are assigned priorities. When it becomes necessary to alter the allocation of bandwidth among the flows, the receiver selects one of the lower priority flows. The receiver then causes the selected flow to delay sending acknowledgements of messages received to the senders of the messages. In most modern protocols, senders are sensitive to the time it takes to receive acknowledgements of the messages they send. When the acknowledgement time increases, the sender assumes that the receiver is becoming overloaded. The sender then slows down the rate at which it sends messages to the receiver. This lowered sending rate in turn reduces the amount of bandwidth used by the flow as it comes into the receiver. This frees up bandwidth which can then be used by higher priority flows.

摘要： A method to reduce the distortion introduced by lossy compression of interpolated images. The interpolation represents a constraint. If the output of the compression algorithm does not satisfy the constraint then the estimate of the output can be improved by re-imposing the constraint. An alternating projection algorithm is used to impose both the interpolation constraint, and the requirement that the image compress to the observed compressed output. This involves finding the orthogonal projection alternately on the space of interpolated images, and on the set of images that quantize to the appropriate image produced by the compression algorithm. Although this algorithm is not restricted to the correction of errors in block coding schemes, the explicit introduction of the interpolation constraint allows this algorithm to outperform all other iterative algorithms that attempt only to remove blocking artifacts introduced by transform coders. An important special case is the case of color interpolated images, and JPEG compression. This method is able to improve the output image both in terms of mean squared error and visual appearance.
