Incentive-based check-in
View Patent ↗Apparatus, systems and methods provide incentive-based usage of an audio recognition system. In an aspect, a system is provided that includes a query component configured to receive an audio sample from a device and a recognition component configured to determine an identification of the audio sample. The system further includes a reward component configured to identify a reward associated with the identification of the audio sample, wherein the query component is further configured to provide a query result to the device, the query result comprising the identification of the audio sample and the reward associated therewith.
1. A system, comprising:
a non-transitory computer readable medium having stored thereon computer executable components; and
a processor configured to execute the following computer executable components stored in the non-transitory computer readable medium:
a query component configured to receive an audio sample from a device;
a recognition component configured to determine an identification of the audio sample;
a reward component configured to identify a reward associated with the identification of the audio sample, wherein the reward can be earned based upon a predetermined number of check-ins acknowledging playback of a content item representative of the identification of the audio sample;
wherein the query component is further configured to provide a query result to the device, the query result comprising the identification of the audio sample and the reward associated therewith;
a check-in component configured to receive a check-in selection for the content item representative of the identification of the audio sample, the check-in selection indicating a user acknowledged playback of the content item; and
wherein the reward component is further configured to issue the reward in response to the check-in selection meeting the predetermined number of check-ins.
2. The system of claim 1 , wherein the reward includes a coupon associated with the item.
3. The system of claim 1 , wherein the check-in component is further configured to, in response to the check-in selection, send a request to a social network service to post an indication of the user acknowledged playback of the content item on the social network service in association with a profile of the user.
4. The system of claim 3 , wherein the reward includes at least one of an image, a video, an audio clip, a virtual item, a virtual badge, or a virtual symbol.
5. The system of claim 1 , wherein the playback includes at least one of listening to or viewing the content item.
6. The system of claim 1 , wherein the predetermined number of check-ins is greater than one.
7. The system of claim 1 , wherein the content item is a television show, a song, a speech, a movie, or a video.
8. A method comprising:
receiving, by a system including a processor, a transmission of an audio sample from a device;
determining, by the system, an identification of the audio sample;
identifying, by the system, a reward associated with the identification of the audio sample, wherein the reward can be earned based upon a predetermined number of check-ins acknowledging playback of a content item representative of the identification of the audio sample;
generating, by the system, a query result based on the audio sample, the query result comprising the identification of the audio sample and the reward associated therewith;
transmitting, by the system, the query result to the device;
receiving, by the system, a check-in selection for the content item representative of the identification of the audio sample, the check-in selection indicating a user acknowledged playback of the content item; and
issuing, by the system, the reward in response to the check-in selection meeting the predetermined number of check-ins.
9. The method of claim 8 , wherein the reward includes a coupon associated with the item.
10. The method of claim 8 , further comprising, in response to the check-in selection, sending a request to a social network service to post an indication of the user acknowledged playback of the content item on the social network service in association with a profile of the user.
11. The method of claim 10 , wherein the reward includes at least one of an image, a video, an audio clip, a virtual item, a virtual badge, or a virtual symbol.
12. The method of claim 8 , wherein the playback includes at least one of listening to or viewing the content item.
13. The method of claim 8 , wherein the predetermined number of check-ins is greater than one.
14. A system, comprising:
a non-transitory computer readable medium having stored thereon computer executable components; and
a processor configured to execute the following computer executable components stored in the non-transitory computer readable medium:
an audio sampling component configured to capture an audio sample;
a search component configured to transmit the audio sample to an audio recognition service for identification thereof and receive, from the audio recognition service, a query result based on the audio sample; and
an interface component configured to present the query result to a user, the query result comprising a content item identified as the audio sample, a reward associated with the content item, wherein the reward can be earned based upon a predetermined number of check-ins acknowledging playback of a content item representative of the identification of the audio sample, and a prompt to check-in for the item, wherein a check-in for the item represents a user acknowledged playback of the content item; and
a response component configured to:
receive a selection from a user to check-in for the content item,
send the check-in selection to the audio recognition service, and
receive the reward in response to the check-in selection meeting the predetermined number of check-ins.
