Utility
Generation of media station previews using a secondary tuner
9 May 23
In one aspect, an example method includes (i) while a media playback device of a vehicle is playing back content received on a first channel, generating, by the media playback device, a query fingerprint using second content received on a second channel; (ii) sending, by the media playback device, the query fingerprint to a server that maintains a reference database containing a plurality of reference fingerprints; (iii) receiving, by the media playback device from the server, identifying information corresponding to a reference fingerprint of the plurality of reference fingerprints that matches the query fingerprint; and (iv) while the media playback device is playing back the first content received on the first channel, providing, by the media playback device for display, at least a portion of the identifying information.

Utility
Methods and Apparatus For Determining A Mood Profile Associated With Media Data
27 Apr 23
An example method involves comparing a primary element of a first piece of audio data to a primary element of a second piece of audio data; based on the comparing of the primary elements, determining that the first and second pieces of audio data have the same predominant mood category; in response to determining that the first and second pieces of audio data have the same predominant mood category, comparing a first mood score of the primary element of the first piece of audio data to a second mood score of the primary element of a second piece of audio data; determining that an output of the comparison of the two mood scores exceeds a threshold value; and in response to determining that the output of the comparison of the two mood scores exceeds the threshold value, providing an indicator to an application.
