AUDIO BASED ON CAPTURED IMAGE DATA OF VISUAL CONTENT

1 . A computer-implemented method comprising:

receiving image data of visual content, the image data having been captured by a user computing device;

determining, by a machine having a memory and at least one processor, audio data based on the received image data; and

causing audio of the audio data to be played on the user computing device.

2 . The method of claim 1 , wherein determining the audio data comprises:

identifying the received image data based on at least one characteristic of the received image data; and

determining the audio data based on the identification of the received image data.

3 . The method of claim 2 , wherein identifying the received image data comprises using at least one computer vision technique to analyze the received image data.

4 . The method of claim 2 , wherein the reference image data comprises at least one of images and image identification rules.

5 . The method of claim 1 , wherein determining the audio data based on the received image data comprises:

accessing a database of audio files, each audio file registered in association with at least one corresponding image data identifier;

retrieving at least one of the audio files based on a correlation between the received image data and the at least one corresponding image identifier of the at least one audio file; and

providing the at least one audio file as the audio data to be played on the user computing device.

6 . The method of claim 5 , wherein the at least one registered audio file comprises a playlist of songs.

7 . The method of claim 5 , further comprising:

receiving, prior to receiving the image data of visual content, a request to associate the at least one audio file with the at least one corresponding image data identifier; and

associating, in the database of audio files, the at least one audio file with the at least one corresponding image data identifier in response to receiving the request.

8 . The method of claim 7 , wherein the request is received from a curator computing device different from the user computing device.

9 . The method of claim 7 , further comprising:

receiving, prior to receiving the request to associate, an upload of the at least one audio file; and

registering the at least one audio file in the database in response to receiving the upload of the at least one audio file.

10 . The method of claim 1 , wherein the received image data comprises video or still pictures.

11 . The method of claim 1 , wherein the audio of the audio data comprises a song or a voice recording.

12 . The method of claim 1 , wherein the user computing device comprises one of a smart phone, a tablet computer, a wearable computing device, a vehicle computing device, a laptop computer, and a desktop computer.

13 . The method of claim 1 , wherein the machine comprises a remote server separate from the user computing device.

14 . A system comprising:

a machine having a memory and at least one processor; and

an audio determination module on the machine, the audio determination module being configured to:

receive image data of visual content, the image data having been captured by a user computing device;

determine audio data based on the received image data; and

cause audio of the audio data to be played on the user computing device.

15 . The system of claim 14 , wherein the audio determination module is further configured to:

identify the received image data based on at least one characteristic of the received image data; and

determine the audio data based on the identification of the received image data.

16 . The system of claim 14 , wherein the audio determination module is further configured to:

access a database of audio files, each audio file registered in association with at least one corresponding image data identifier;

retrieve at least one of the audio files based on a correlation between the received image data and the at least one corresponding image identifier of the at least one audio file; and

provide the at least one audio file as the audio data to be played on the user computing device.

17 . The system of claim 16 , further comprising an audio management module configured to:

receive a request to associate the at least one audio file with the at least one corresponding image data identifier; and

associate, in the database of audio files, the at least one audio file with the at least one corresponding image data identifier in response to receiving the request.

18 . The system of claim 17 , wherein the audio management module is further configured to:

receive an upload of the at least one audio file; and

register the at least one audio file in the database in response to receiving the upload of the at least one audio file.

19 . The system of claim 14 , wherein the audio determination module resides on a remote server separate from the user computing device.

20 . A non-transitory machine-readable storage device, tangibly embodying a set of instructions that, when executed by at least one processor, causes the at least one processor to perform a set of operations comprising:

receiving image data of visual content, the image data having been captured by a user computing device;

determining, by a machine having a memory and at least one processor, audio data based on the received image data; and

causing audio of the audio data to be played on the user computing device.
