Systems and Methods for Searching Audio Content - A simplified explanation of the abstract

This abstract first appeared for US patent application 20240273137 titled 'Systems and Methods for Searching Audio Content

The abstract of this patent application describes methods and devices for searching audio content, including obtaining a query string, obtaining audio content results, selecting a subset of results, and presenting them to a user.

  • The method involves obtaining a query string for audio content.
  • It includes obtaining a plurality of audio content results corresponding to the query string.
  • The method further involves selecting a subset of results from the plurality of audio content results.
  • This selection includes choosing search results from a variety of sub-topic clusters.
  • The subset of audio content results is then sequenced.
  • Finally, the sequenced subset of audio content results is presented to a user.

Potential Applications: - Music streaming platforms - Podcast search engines - Audio book libraries

Problems Solved: - Efficient searching of audio content - Improved user experience in finding relevant audio content

Benefits: - Saves time for users searching for specific audio content - Enhances user satisfaction with search results - Increases engagement with audio platforms
