Abstract

Systems and methods are provided and include a computing device that receives a selection of a song available for streaming from the music streaming server and transmits a query to the music streaming service server for a musical attribute associated with the selected song. The computing device receives the musical attribute and determines a paint color associated with the selected song based on the musical attribute. The computing device displays the determined paint color and a name and identification code of the paint color on a display of the computing device. The computing device outputs the selected song to a speaker of the computing device while displaying the determined paint color on the display of the at least one computing device.

Claims (29)

1. A system comprising:

at least one computing device in communication with a music streaming server of a music streaming service provider, the at least one computing device having at least one processor and memory storing computer-executable instructions that, when executed by the at least one processor, configure the at least one computing device to:

receive a selection of a song available for streaming from the music streaming server;

transmit a query to the music streaming service server for at least one musical attribute associated with the selected song;

receive the at least one musical attribute associated with the selected song from the music streaming server;

determine a paint color associated with the selected song based on the at least one musical attribute;

display the determined paint color and at least one of a name and an identification code of the paint color on a display of the at least one computing device; and

output the selected song to a speaker of the computing device while displaying the determined paint color on the display of the at least one computing device.

2. The system recited by claim 1 , wherein the at least one musical attribute includes at least one of a key of the song; a mode of the song; a tempo of the song; a valence value of the song; an instrumentalness value of the song; an acousticness value of the song; a loudness value of the song; a danceability value of the song; and an energy value of the song.

3. The system recited by claim 1 , wherein the computer-executable instructions, when executed by the at least one processor, further configure the at least one computing device to determine the paint color based on a lookup table that stores a plurality of musical attributes mapped to a corresponding plurality of associated paint colors.

4. The system recited by claim 1 wherein the computer-executable instructions, when executed by the at least one processor, further configure the at least one computing device to:

determine a plurality of musical attributes associated with the selected song; and

determine the paint color based on the plurality of musical attributes.

5. The system recited by claim 1 , wherein the computer-executable instructions, when executed by the at least one processor, further configure the at least one computing device to display at least one of an animation and a video that incorporates the determined paint color into a moving design while outputting the selected song to the speaker of the at least one computing device.

6. The system recited by claim 1 , wherein the at least one computing device includes a server associated with a paint provider and a mobile device associated with a user.

7. A method comprising:

receiving, with at least one computing device in communication with a music streaming server of a music streaming service provider, a selection of a song available for streaming from the music streaming server;

transmitting, with the at least one computing device, a query to the music streaming service server for at least one musical attribute associated with the selected song;

receiving, with the at least one computing device, the at least one musical attribute associated with the selected song from the music streaming server;

determining, with the at least one computing device, a paint color associated with the selected song based on the at least one musical attribute;

displaying, with the at least one computing device, the determined paint color and at least one of a name and an identification code of the paint color on a display of the at least one computing device; and

outputting, with the at least one computing device, the selected song to a speaker of the computing device while displaying the determined paint color on the display of the at least one computing device.

8. The method recited by claim 7 , wherein the at least one musical attribute includes at least one of a key of the song; a mode of the song; a tempo of the song; a valence value of the song; an instrumentalness value of the song; an acousticness value of the song; a loudness value of the song; a danceability value of the song; and an energy value of the song.

9. The method recited by claim 7 , further comprising determining, with the at least one computing device, the paint color based on a lookup table that stores a plurality of musical attributes mapped to a corresponding plurality of associated paint colors.

10. The method recited by claim 7 , further comprising:

determining, with the at least one computing device, a plurality of musical attributes associated with the selected song; and

determining, with the at least one computing device, the paint color based on the plurality of musical attributes.

11. The method recited by claim 7 , further comprising displaying at least one of an animation and a video that incorporates the determined paint color into a moving design while outputting the selected song to the speaker of the at least one computing device.

12. The method recited by claim 7 , wherein the at least one computing device includes a server associated with a paint provider and a mobile device associated with a user.
