SOUND LIBRARY AND METHOD
First Claim
1. An electronic device configured to collect acoustic information, comprising:
- at least one or more processors; and
a non-transitory computer readable medium communicatively coupled to the at least one or more processors, the execution of the instruction by the at least one or more processors causing the at least one or more processors to perform operations comprising;
collecting acoustic data by a microphone communicatively coupled to a mobile device;
analyzing the acoustic data for a sound signature;
tagging the sound signature with metadata;
sending the sound signature with metadata to an acoustic database;
associating sounds within the acoustic data with information;
presenting the information on a map on the mobile device; and
accessing at least audio from the acoustic database when a cursor is placed over a specific location on the map corresponding to captured ambient sounds from a geographic location and wherein acoustic information can be retrieved corresponding to the geographic location and for different selected periods of time.

12. An electronic device configured to collect acoustic information, comprising:
-
at least one or more processors; a location module operatively coupled to the one or more processors and configured to determine a location of the electronic device; a transducer operatively coupled to the one or more processors and configured to receive acoustic data; and a non-transitory computer readable medium communicatively coupled to the at least one or more processors, the execution of the instruction by the at least one or more processors causing the at least one or more processors to perform operations comprising; collecting acoustic data via the transducer; analyzing the acoustic data for a sound signature; tagging the sound signature with metadata; sending the sound signature with metadata to an acoustic database; associating sounds within the acoustic data with locations on the map; and accessing at least audio from the acoustic database when a cursor is placed over a specific location on the map corresponding to captured ambient sounds from a geographic location and wherein acoustic information can be retrieved corresponding to the geographic location and for different selected periods of time. - View Dependent Claims (13, 14, 15, 16, 17)
