System and method for contextual data selection from electronic data files
A computer-implemented method for contextually applying audio to an electronic media file, includes the following steps: parsing the electronic media file to determine at least one context of the electronic media file; comparing the at least one context of the electronic media file against a database of context tags corresponding to at least one context of a plurality of audio files; generating a ranked list of audio files corresponding to the comparison of the at least one context of the electronic media file against the database of context tags; selecting at least one audio file from the ranked list; and generating an output file containing the electronic media file and the at least one audio file.
1. A computer-implemented method for contextually applying audio to an electronic media file, comprising the following steps:
parsing the electronic media file to determine at least one context of the electronic media file;
comparing the at least one context of the electronic media file against a database of context tags corresponding to at least one context of a plurality of audio files;
generating a ranked list of audio files corresponding to the comparison of the at least one context of the electronic media file against the database of context tags;
selecting at least one audio file from the ranked list; and
generating an output file containing the electronic media file and the at least one audio file, wherein the steps of parsing the electronic media file to determine at least one context of the electronic media file and comparing the at least one context of the electronic media file against a database of context tags corresponding to at least one context of a plurality of audio files are performed while the electronic media file is being created, and wherein the remaining steps are performed after the electronic media file has been created.
2. The method of claim 1 , further comprising the step of receiving the electronic media file on a user device.
3. The method of claim 1 , wherein the method is performed while the electronic media file is being created.
4. The method of claim 1 , wherein the at least one context of the electronic media file is at least one selected from the set of: subject matter, location, colors, text, texture, and lighting.
5. The method of claim 1 , further comprising the step of determining at least one user-selected context of the electronic media file.
6. The method of claim 1 , wherein an audio file comprises at least a portion of a music file.
7. The method of claim 1 , wherein the first-ranked audio file is automatically selected.
8. The method of claim 1 , wherein a user selects the at least one audio file.
9. The method of claim 8 , wherein the user selects the at least one audio file by accepting or rejecting each audio file sequentially according to the ranked list.
10. The method of claim 1 , further comprising the step of uploading the output file to an electronic media site.
11. A system for contextually applying audio to an electronic media file, comprising:
a user computer device;
a first database in communication with the user computer device over at least one network connection, wherein the first database contains data corresponding to a plurality of context tags corresponding to at least one context of a plurality of audio files; and
at least a second database in communication with the user computer device over at least one network connection, wherein the at least second database contains data corresponding to the plurality of audio files,
wherein the user computer device is configured to:
parse the electronic media file to determine at least one context of the electronic media file;
compare the at least one context of the electronic media file against the first database of context tags;
generate a ranked list of audio files corresponding to the comparison of the at least one context of the electronic media file against the database of context tags;
select at least one audio file from the ranked list; and
generate an output file containing the electronic media file and the at least one audio file, wherein the at least one audio file is accessed from the at least second database, wherein parsing the electronic media file to determine at least one context of the electronic media file and comparing the at least one context of the electronic media file against the first database of context tags are performed while the electronic media file is being created, and wherein the remaining steps are performed after the electronic media file has been created.
12. The system of claim 11 , wherein the electronic media file is received on the user computer device.
13. The system of claim 11 , wherein the at least one context of the electronic media file is at least one selected from the set of: subject matter, location, colors, text, texture, and lighting.
14. The system of claim 11 , wherein the user computer device is further configured to determine at least one user-selected context of the electronic media file.
15. The system of claim 11 , wherein an audio file comprises at least a portion of a music file.
16. The system of claim 11 , wherein the first-ranked audio file is automatically selected.
17. The system of claim 11 , wherein a user selects the at least one audio file.
18. The system of claim 17 , wherein the user selects the at least one audio file by accepting or rejecting each audio file sequentially according to the ranked list.
19. The system of claim 11 , wherein the user computer device is further configured to output file to an electronic media site.
