DIGITAL JUKEBOX DEVICE WITH IMPROVED USER INTERFACES, AND ASSOCIATED METHODS - A simplified explanation of the abstract

This abstract first appeared for US patent application 20240045527 titled 'DIGITAL JUKEBOX DEVICE WITH IMPROVED USER INTERFACES, AND ASSOCIATED METHODS

Simplified Explanation

The patent application relates to entertainment systems that incorporate digital downloading jukebox features and improved user interfaces.

• A smart search feature is provided where search results vary based on the popularity of songs within the venue and songs being promoted.
• A tile-based approach is used to organize groupings of songs, which may include centrally-promoted songs, popular songs across an audiovisual distribution network, and locally popular songs that match a given genre.
• Different tile visual presentations and physical jukebox designs are contemplated.
• In certain embodiments, a sealed core unit with the "brains" of the jukebox can be inserted into a docking station.

Potential applications of this technology:

• Entertainment venues such as bars, restaurants, and clubs can use this technology to enhance their jukebox systems and provide a more personalized music experience for their customers.
• Digital music platforms and streaming services can incorporate these features to improve their user interfaces and search capabilities.

Problems solved by this technology:

• The smart search feature helps users find songs that are popular within a specific venue or being promoted, making it easier to discover new music.
• The tile-based approach organizes songs in a visually appealing way, making it easier for users to navigate and find songs that match their preferences.

Benefits of this technology:

• Users can have a more personalized and tailored music experience based on the popularity of songs within a specific venue or promotional efforts.
• The improved user interface and search capabilities make it easier and more efficient for users to find and play their desired songs.
• The different tile visual presentations and physical jukebox designs offer flexibility and customization options for entertainment venues and digital music platforms.

Original Abstract Submitted

certain exemplary embodiments relate to entertainment systems and, more particularly, to systems that incorporate digital downloading jukebox features and improved user interfaces. for instance, a smart search may be provided, e.g., where search results vary based on the popularity of songs within the venue, in dependence on songs being promoted, etc. as another example, a tile-based approach to organizing groupings of songs is provided. groupings may involve self-populating collections of songs that combine centrally-promoted songs, songs in a given genre that are popular across an audiovisual distribution network, and songs that are locally popular and match up with the given genre (e.g., because of shared attributes such as same or similar genre, artist, etc.). different tile visual presentations also are contemplated, as are different physical jukebox designs. in certain example embodiments, a sealed core unit with the “brains” of the jukebox is insertable into a docking station.
