METHODS AND SYSTEMS FOR CAPTURING INFORMATION-ENHANCED IMAGES
First Claim
1. A method for associating media content, the method comprising:
- receiving, by a processor, image data associated with an image captured by a camera;
receiving, by the processor, sound data associated with an audio signal captured by a microphone;
applying, by the processor, at least a portion of the sound data to a sound recognition application to automatically determine whether the sound data is representative of a known sound or melody; and
based on the determination, associating, by the processor, the image data with data representative of the known sound or melody.

Abstract
The approaches of the present disclosure provide for the efficient technology of intelligent association of still images with contextual information relating to sounds such as a sound that may have been ambient when a still image was captured. In particular, a user may use a media device, such as a smart phone or tablet computer, to capture a still image and record first audio, for example, at the time of capturing the still image for a predetermined period of time. The first audio may be then processed and analyzed so as to recognize a particular song or melody, and then a high quality second audio related to the recognized song or melody is downloaded and associated with the still image. Accordingly, the visual nature of still images is enhanced with data relating to contextual auditory information, which boosts the sensory and memory experience for the user.

15. A system for associating media content, the system comprising:
-
a communication module configured to receive image data associated with an image captured by a camera, and an audio signal captured by a microphone; a processor operatively coupled with a memory, wherein the processor is configured to run a sound recognition application to automatically determine whether the audio signal is representative of a known sound or melody based at least in a portion of the sound data; the processor is further configured to associate the image data with data representative of the known sound or melody based on the determination that the sound data is representative of the known sound or melody. - View Dependent Claims (16, 17, 18, 19)

20. A non-transitory processor-readable medium having instructions stored thereon, which when executed by one or more processors, cause the one or more processors to implement a method for associating media content, the method comprising:
-
receiving image data associated with an image captured by a camera; receiving sound data associated with an audio signal captured by a microphone; applying at least a portion of the sound data to a sound recognition application to automatically determine whether the sound data is representative of a known sound or melody; and based on the determination, associating, by the processor, the image data with data representative of the known sound or melody.
