Method of providing in situ suggestions for media composition
A recently granted patent (Publication Number: US11875764B2) outlines a method for composing a media composition using a specialized application. The method involves providing a media composition application to a user, who is then presented with automatic suggestions for continuing the composition as they input media content. These suggestions are displayed in a distinct graphical style from the preceding portion of the composition, allowing the user to accept or reject them. If accepted, the suggestion is seamlessly integrated into the composition, maintaining the graphical style of the existing content. If rejected, a new suggestion is automatically generated for the user's consideration.
The patent claims cover various aspects of the method, including the use of different types of media composition applications such as musical scorewriters, digital audio workstations, and video composition applications. The suggestions provided to the user can be based on the preceding portion of the composition, the entire composition entered so far, or even a corpus of media compositions of a specific genre or by specific composers. Additionally, the suggestions can be generated by preserving certain aspects of existing data sources while varying others, such as rhythm, melody, harmony, lyrics, or bass lines. The length of the suggestions can be matched to a selected portion of the composition or adjusted by the user, ensuring a seamless and customizable composition process. The patent also includes claims for a computer program product and a system implementing this method for composing media compositions.
