Description
A METHOD OF IDENTIFYING A DIGITAL MEDIA FILE OR FILES AVAILABLE FROM A MUSIC SUBSCRIPTION SERVICE
BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION
1. Field of the Invention
This invention relates to a method of identifying a digital media file or files available from a music subscription service, without requiring text entry. It may be implemented using a computing device with a media player and image creation capabilities; the computing device can then be a client that can access a server based music subscription service.
A 'computing device' is any computing device with one or two-way wireless capabilities and includes without limitation desktop computers, laptop computers, mobile telephones, smart phones, communicators, in-car media players and similar application specific devices. It includes devices able to communicate in any manner over any kind of wired or wireless network, such as the internet, GSM or UMTS, CDMA and WCDMA mobile radio, Bluetooth, IrDA etc. A 'media player' is an application that enables a device to store, organise and play digital media files, such as music, images, video and other media. 'Image creation capabilities' comprise a camera capable of taking still or moving digital images, whether that camera is linked to or integrated into the computing device or is accessible indirectly by providing a digital image or movie file which is accessible to that computing device.
2. Description of the Prior Art Some music subscription services will store in their database millions of different albums, tracks, videos etc. Identifying a specific digital media file or files available from a music subscription service is conventionally done by an end-user entering text using a keyboard to initiate some kind of search of the music subscription service database. This can however also be slow, especially where a portable device with a small keyboard is being used to enter the text.
A barcode is a sequence of black and white stripes that represent numbers. They are a visual representation of a number sequence that can be read by a computer.
There are a number of different types of barcodes including 1 dimensional and 2 dimensional barcodes.
The barcodes on the back of a Compact Disc are known as the UPC (Universal Product Code) in the US, EAN (European Article Number) in Europe and JAN (Japanese Article Number) in Japan. All collectively known as GTIN (Global Trade Item Number).
Barcodes are very commonly used to identify a product for stock control/point of sale and logistics purposes.
Reference may be made to the Digimarc MediaBridge system that allows a hidden watermark to be embedded in print advertising; the watermark is scanned using the camera in a PC or mobile phone and a hyperlink encoded into the watermark is then used by a web browser running on the PC or mobile phone to navigate to a specific web/WAP page.
SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION
The invention is a method of identifying a digital media file or files available from a music subscription service, without requiring text entry, comprising the following steps: (a) scanning, using a computing device, a barcode, the barcode being provided to enable a physical item encoding a digital media file(s) to be identified by a point of sale or stock control system;
(b) processing the scanned barcode in order to produce an identifier which digitally identifies that digital media file(s); (c) automatically relating that digital identifier to a record within a catalogue of digital media file(s) available from the music subscription service;
(d) provisioning that record and/or the associated digital media file(s) to a or the computing device to enable an end-user to view, play and/or store that record and/or the associated digital media file(s). In an implementation of this invention, the camera on a mobile handset is used to scan the UPC (Universal Product Code) or EAN (European Article Number) barcode on CD
(Compact Disc) or DVD (Digital Versatile Disc).
This in turn relates back to the stored UPC or EAN in a catalogue of digital media, thereby allowing the album to be sent as part of the user's music subscription to the mobile handset, played on the mobile handset, saved on the mobile handset and also stored and referenced to the user on the server or cloud. Note that the barcode is printed onto the physical CD or DVD for the primary use of stock control/point of sale purposes; it is not provided to enable a digital version of the media files encoded on the CD/DVD to be provided. In this implementation of the invention, a new use is found for the existing stock control/point of sale barcodes.
In essence, this implementation of the invention provides an alternative to entering the name of the album, searching for it and then selecting the required or correct result manually. It hence makes it much easier for end-users to access digital media files available on a server based music subscription service.
BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE FIGURE
An implementation of the invention is schematically shown in Figure 1.
DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION
The present invention provides, in one implementation, a novel and convenient method by which an end-user may precisely specify a published collection of media from within a music subscription service without requiring text entry or manual searching.
The method comprises the following steps:
1. Scanning a barcode on a physical media, such as a music album on a compact disc or a DVD or a movie on a DVD or BluRay or other storage medium; as noted above, the primary function of the barcode is to enable point of sale and stock control systems to identify the physical media.
2. The automatic analysis of that barcode to produce a unique identifier for that media, such as a music album.
3. The automatic relating of that identifier to a record within a media catalogue; this record could be the album artwork, album title, artist(s) name, track names and indeed any other meta-data associated with the media file(s) encoded on the physical media.
4. The automatic provisioning of that record and, optionally also the associated digital media files, to the end user. Where the record alone is supplied, then one or more of the album artwork, album tide, artist(s) name, track names or other metadata associated with the media files can be displayed on a computing device (e.g. mobile telephone) of the end-user. This can be the device used to scan the barcode, but does not have to be. The end-user is then provided with the option of downloading/streaming or otherwise obtaining the media file(s) for the computing device (or an associated device).
A barcode may be obtained from the physically published media directly or from some other published source, such as promotional literature or images published on, for example, a promotional poster, a concert ticket or a web site.
In addition, the "barcode" scanned may in practice not be a "traditional" barcode, but may be some other identifying visual, such as a 2D barcode or an identifying number or title/artist combination, detected in published artwork and then converted via OCR
(Optical Character Recognition) technology into machine-readable form for use as a barcode-like cross-reference to the indicated media files.
Information derived from such multiple visual sources may be combined to narrow the possible options in cases where one visual identifier alone would be ambiguous.
Where the provided identifying information remains ambiguous, such as in the case of OCRed visual identifiers or re-used barcodes with no accompanying additional visual identifiers, it may be necessary to provide the end user with a small number of identified items from which to select the intended compilation.
Use case scenario
A user has a mobile phone with Omnifone's MusicStation® software and the user has a currently active subscription. For more information on the MusicStation software application, see WO 2007/129081, the contents of which are incorporated by reference.
The MusicStation software application enables a mobile telephone to access and download music tracks over the air from a vast library of tracks on an unlimited usage (or
'all you can eat') basis. An implementation of the invention is schematically shown in Figure 1.
1. The user goes to their physical CD collection.
2. User picks up the first CD that they wish to play on the MusicStation application.
3. User selects the Barcode option from within the MusicStation application. 4. User points the mobile phone's camera at the UPC barcode on the back of the
CD.
5. The handset scans the barcode for a valid barcode.
6. When a valid barcode is recognised, the MusicStation application sends the UPC (or EAN) back to the server, either as an image (which could be processed on the server side) or as the recognised barcode data.
7. At the server side the UPC (or EAN) is cross-referenced with a database or catalogue of digital music tracks that are available for supply (e.g. download, streaming or any other digital mechanism) to the handset (and/or any associated computing device).
8. If a match is found then the results are returned to the mobile MusicStation client (e.g. the handset). These results could include the name of the CD, artist name, artwork, tracks names ('album release data'), reviews and in fact any other kind of data of potential interest to the user 9. User is shown the album release on the handset. The user is able to download, play and save the selected music by selecting an on-screen option displayed by the MusicStation application. The user's scan can also be stored against the user's profile on the server side database.
The above can be applied to other scenarios in which a user wants a quick way to identify a CD and allow it be playable via their music subscription service.
Other scenarios
Other forms of barcode can just as easily be recognised. These include the following:
• Barcodes in promotional artwork for an artist/album/ track release.
• Barcodes from DVD's that return results for movie soundtrack albums.
• Special promotions that allow users to quickly download a specific new release simply by pointing their MusicStation phone at a computer monitor or at a TV. • The use of other barcodes (QR code) for special features like 'add me as a friend' that could be hosted on users' own websites.
In addition to provisioning (e.g. supplying by download or streaming) digital media files, the scanning of the barcode can initiate various other functions or processes, such as:
• Access to subscription extension or free trials
• Gifting of subscriptions or playlists in printed or on screen media
• Access to special features.
Also, in addition to scanning a CD or DVD to automatically trigger the supply of music and video files to a computing device, it would be possible to scan the barcode (and/or the ISBN) in a book and download the book. This is especially useful in the new generation of electronic book readers, such as the Kindle™ from Amazon, and smartphones with large screens that allow substantial amounts of text to be read and
scrolled through. A video camera and barcode scanning software can then also be included in such an electronic book reader, so that the user can simply scan the barcode and/or ISBN of any physical book or magazine of interest and have an electronic version of the book or magazine sent automatically (or, as a first step, the meta-data describing that book or magazine) to the scanning device.
Claims
