Abstract

The present disclosure generally relates to obtaining details regarding an image based on search intent and, further, to determining royalty distributions and credits for projects. In an example, a computer-implemented method includes: searching, via a computing device, at least one piece of information associated with a song that is currently playing on the computing device; and displaying, via the computing device, the at least one piece of information on a display of the computing device.

Claims (60)

1. A computer-implemented method comprising:

searching, via a computing device, at least one piece of information associated with a song that is currently playing on the computing device;

receiving, via the computing device, a user prompt to solo the at least one piece of information and what label released the song;

searching, via the computing device, the label that released the song and an executive of the label that released the song in response to receiving the user prompting what label released the song;

soloing, via the computing device, the at least one piece of information for the song through an audio component of the computing device; and

automatically displaying, via the computing device, the soloed at least one piece of information, and a user prompt to connect the user to the executive of the label that released the song through a telephone call on a display of the computing device;

displaying, via the computing device, another user prompt to ask the user whether the user wants to purchase the at least one piece of information on the display of the computing device;

receiving, via the computing device, a request through the another user prompt to indicate that the user is interested in purchasing the at least one piece of information;

displaying, via the computing device, a list of hyperlinks to retail websites and physical locations of physical retail stores for purchasing the at least one piece of information on the display of the computing device in response to receiving the request through the another user prompt,

wherein the soloed at least one piece of information comprises an instrument playing in the song.

2. The method of claim 1 , further comprising:

searching for and displaying where the instrument can be purchased;

receiving the user prompt to connect the user to the executive of the label that released the song; and

connecting the user to the executive of the label through the telephone call.

3. The method of claim 2 , wherein the executive comprises an artists and repertoire (A&R) executive of the label.

4. The method of claim 1 , wherein the at least one piece of information further comprises a singer who is singing the song.

5. The method of claim 1 , wherein the at least one piece of information further comprises an artist playing a particular requested instrument.

6. The method of claim 1 , wherein the at least one piece of information further comprises a particular track of an instrument playing in the song.

7. The method of claim 1 , further comprising:

searching for a key in which the song is being played; and

outputting through the audio component the key the song is being played in,

wherein the at least one piece of information further comprises the key in which the song is being played.

8. The method of claim 1 , wherein the at least one piece of information further comprises the musical notes of the song being played.

9. The method of claim 1 , wherein the at least one piece of information further comprises what the song is about.

10. The method of claim 1 , further comprising:

searching for another piece of information which includes what the song is about; and

automatically displaying the another piece of information which includes what the song is about on the display of the computing device.

11. The method of claim 10 , further comprising outputting the another piece of information which includes what the song is about through the audio component of the computing device.

12. A system for providing information of a song using a hardware product, comprising:

one or more processors of the system;

a searching system configured to search at least one piece of the information associated with the song that is currently playing on a computing device using the one or more processors;

a receiving system configuration to receive a user prompt to solo the at least one piece of information and what label released the song on the computing device using the one or more processors;

the searching system further configured to search for the label that released the song in response to receiving the user prompting what label released the song;

an audio system configured to solo the at least one piece of information for the song through an audio component of the computing device using the one or more processors; and

an output system configured to automatically display the soloed at least one piece of the information, the label that released the song, and a list of hyperlinks to retail websites which are associated with the at least one piece of the information on a display of the computing device using the one or more processors;

the receiving system further configured to receive a request to determine an executive of the label that released the song;

the output system further configured to display the executive of the label that released the song and another user prompt to ask the user whether the user wants to connect the user to the executive of the label that released the song through a telephone call; and

the audio system further configured to connect the user to the executive of the label that released the song through the telephone call in response to receiving a request through the another user prompt to indicate that the user wants to connect to the executive of the label that released the song,

wherein the soloed at least one piece of information comprises an instrument playing in the song.

13. The system of claim 12 , further comprising;

searching for and displaying where the instrument can be purchased.

14. The system of claim 13 , wherein the displaying where the instrument can be purchased includes displaying the list of hyperlinks to the retail websites to purchase the instrument, and the executive comprises an artists and repertoire (A&R) executive of the label.

15. The system of claim 12 , wherein the at least one piece of information further comprises a singer who is singing the song.

16. The system of claim 12 , wherein the at least one piece of information further comprises an artist playing a particular requested instrument.

17. The system of claim 12 , wherein the at least one piece of information further comprises a particular track of an instrument playing in the song.

18. The system of claim 12 , further comprising:

searching for a key in which the song is being played; and

outputting through the audio component the key the song is being played in,

wherein the at least one piece of information further comprises the key in which the song is being played.

19. The system of claim 12 , wherein the at least one piece of information further comprises what the song is about.

20. A computer program product for providing information of a song, the computer program product comprising a computer readable storage medium having program instructions embodied therewith, the program instructions executable by a computing device to cause the computing device to:

search at least one piece of the information associated with the song that is currently playing on the computing device;

receive a user prompt to solo the at least one piece of information and what label released the song;

search the label that released the song and an executive of the label that released the song in response to receiving the user prompting what label released the song;

solo the at least one piece of information for the song through an audio component of the computing device; and

automatically display the soloed at least one piece of the information, and a user prompt to connect the user to the executive of the label that released the song through a telephone call on a display of the computing device;

display another user prompt to ask the user whether the user wants to purchase the at least one piece of information on the display of the computing device;

receive a request through the another user prompt to indicate that the user is interested in purchasing the at least one piece of information;

display a list of hyperlinks to retail websites and physical locations of physical retail stores for purchasing the at least one piece of information on the display of the computing device in response to receiving the request through the another user prompt,

wherein the soloed at least one piece of information is an instrument playing in the song.
