First Claim
Patent Images
1. A method for classifying a user'"'"'s musical preferences, the method comprising:
- analyzing a plurality of audio specimens, such that the audio specimens are scored according to a set of representative attributes;
determining a user'"'"'s degree of preference for the audio specimens;
determining a musical preference model (MPM) for the user based on the user'"'"'s degree of preference for the audio specimens and the representative attributes of those specimens; and
storing the MPM in a storage module.

Abstract
A social computing system and method includes a model creator configured to create an initial model of a user'"'"'s musical preferences across a spectrum of attributes. The system and method further include a matching and comparison technique, which matches users based on the similarity of their respective musical preferences. The system and method further include an interactive display, allowing a user to view and interact with the nearby users who share the user'"'"'s musical preferences.

9. The method of claim B, wherein the step of determining an MPM includes statistically combining the user'"'"'s estimated preferences for the audio specimens.
-
11. A method for social computing comprising:
-
determining a matching user'"'"'s current location; generating a list of users within a given radius of the user'"'"'s location; retrieving from a storage module a music preference model (MPM) for each user on the list; comparing the MPMs of the users on the list to an MPM corresponding to the matching user; and displaying on a display those users on the list whose MPMs are similar to the matching user'"'"'s MPH. - View Dependent Claims (12, 13, 14, 15, 16, 17, 18, 19, 20, 21)

22. A social computing system, comprising:
a server, including; a module configured to generate a music preference model (MPM) based on a user'"'"'s musical preferences; a storage module for storing MPMs and user profiles; an MPM comparison module for generating a music match score based on a comparison of at least two MPMs associated with particular users, the users being in communication with the server and having user devices configured to send location information to the server; and a display configured to provide a visual representation of locations of users having a threshold relationship with other MPMs relative to the location information, - View Dependent Claims (23, 24, 25)
