Abstract

The techniques disclosed herein include a first device for reading one or more tags in metadata, the first device including one or more processors configured to receive metadata, from a second device, wirelessly connected via a sidelink channel to the first device. The one or more processors may also be configured to read the metadata, received from the second device to extract one or more tags representative of audio content, and identify audio content based on the one or more tags, and output the audio content. The first device may also include a memory, coupled to the one or more processors, configured to store the metadata.

Claims (41)

1. A first device for reading one or more tags in metadata, the first device comprising:

one or more processors configured to:

receive metadata, from a second device, wirelessly connected via a sidelink channel to the first device;

read the metadata, received from the second device to extract one or more tags representative of audio content;

identify audio content based on the one or more tags; and

output the audio content, wherein the audio content is a three-dimensional spatialized audio content that is based on a an azimuth angle of the second device relative to the first device;

a memory, coupled to the one or more processors, configured to store the metadata; and

a display device configured to represent the azimuth angle of the second device, while the second device is moving.

2. The first device of claim 1 , wherein the one or more processors are configured to switch to a radio station that is playing the identified audio content based on the one or more tags.

3. The first device of claim 1 , wherein the one or more processors are configured to start a media player and have the media player play the identified content based on one or more tags.

4. The first device of claim 1 , wherein the received metadata includes structural metadata and descriptive metadata.

5. The first device of claim 1 , wherein the wireless link via the sidelink channel is part of a Cellular vehicle-to-everything (C-V2X) communication system, wherein the first device is a vehicle and wherein the second device is a vehicle.

6. The first device of claim 1 , wherein the wireless link via the sidelink channel is part of a vehicle-to-everything (V2X) communication system, wherein the first device is a vehicle and wherein the second device is a vehicle.

7. The first device of claim 1 , wherein the one or more tags are one of the following: song name, artist name, album name, writer, or an international standard recording code.

8. The first device of claim 1 , wherein the one or more processors are configured to scan a buffer based on a configuration preference stored on the first device.

9. The first device of claim 1 , wherein the first device includes a display device configured to represent one or more tags on a screen of the display device.

10. The first device of claim 1 , wherein the one or more processors are configured to fade in or fade out audio content associated with the one or more tags, when the second device in a group of devices disconnects from the group.

11. The first device of claim 1 , wherein the first device and the second device are in a group that are part of a content delivery network (CDN).

12. The first device of claim 1 , wherein the first device is an individual content delivery network and sends the one or more tags to other devices.

13. The first device of claim 1 , wherein the one or more processors are configured to download a song associated with the one or more tags.

14. The first device of claim 1 , wherein the first device is part of a group of devices that are configured to receive one of the one or more tags.

15. The first device of claim 1 , wherein the one or more processors are configured to disable a spatialization effect after the second device is more than a configurable distance away from the first device.

16. The first device of claim 15 , wherein the configurable distance is a distance measurement or a time measurement.

17. A method for reading one or more tags in metadata in a first device, the method comprising:

receiving metadata, from a second device, wirelessly connected via a sidelink channel to the first device;

reading the metadata, received from the second device to extract one or more tags representative of audio content;

identifying audio content based on the one or more tags; and

outputting the audio content, wherein the audio content is a three-dimensional spatialized audio content that is based on an azimuth angle of the second device relative to the first device and

representing the azimuth angle of the second device on a display device included in the first device, while the second device is moving.

18. An apparatus for reading one or more tag in metadata, the apparatus comprising:

means for receiving metadata, from a second device, wirelessly connected via a sidelink channel to the first device;

means for reading the metadata, received from the second device to extract one or more tags representative of audio content;

means for identifying audio content based on the one or more tags; and

means outputting the audio content wherein the audio content is a three-dimensional spatialized audio content that is based on an azimuth angle of the second device relative to the first device and

means for representing the azimuth angle of the second device on a display device included in the first device, while the second device is moving.

19. A non-transitory computer-readable medium storing computer-executable code, the code executable by one or more processors to:

receive metadata, from a second device, wirelessly connected via a sidelink channel to the first device;

read the metadata, received from the second device to extract one or more tags representative of audio content;

identify audio content based on the one or more tags; and

output the audio content, wherein the audio content is a three-dimensional spatialized audio content that is based on an azimuth angle of the second device relative to the first device and

represent the azimuth angle of the second device on a display device included in the first device, while the second device is moving.
