This abstract first appeared for US patent application 20240185481 titled 'LYRICS AND KARAOKE USER INTERFACES, METHODS AND SYSTEMS

Simplified Explanation

The abstract describes a patent application for an electronic device that can adjust the visual characteristics of displayed lyrics in response to changes in the performer of the lyrics. It also includes a feature to control the vocal volume of a content item, such as a song, based on user input.

  • The electronic device can modify the visual characteristics of displayed lyrics when there is a change in the performer of the lyrics.
  • The device includes a vocal attenuation control element to adjust the vocal volume of a content item, like a song, in response to user input.

Potential Applications

This technology could be used in karaoke machines, music streaming services, and live performance systems to enhance the user experience and provide more control over vocal elements in songs.

Problems Solved

This technology solves the problem of not being able to easily adjust the visual characteristics of lyrics or vocal volume in real-time based on changes in performers or user preferences.

Benefits

The benefits of this technology include improved user engagement, customization of vocal elements in content items, and enhanced control over the display of lyrics.

Potential Commercial Applications

Potential commercial applications of this technology include music software development, entertainment systems, and audio equipment manufacturing.

Possible Prior Art

One possible prior art could be existing karaoke machines or software that allow users to adjust vocal volume or display lyrics, but this patent application appears to introduce new features and capabilities not seen in current products.

Unanswered Questions

How does this technology impact the user experience in live performances?

This technology could potentially enhance live performances by allowing performers to adjust vocal elements in real-time, but the specific impact on the user experience would depend on the implementation and user feedback.

What are the potential privacy concerns related to adjusting vocal volume based on user input?

There could be privacy concerns related to the collection and use of user input to adjust vocal volume, such as data security and user consent. These concerns would need to be addressed to ensure the ethical use of this technology.
