JP7700340B2 - Method and system for providing a service combining music content playback and voice chat - Google Patents

Description

The present disclosure relates to a method and system for providing a service that combines music content playback and voice chat, and more specifically, to a method and system for providing a service that combines music content playback and voice chat, in which the music content and voice chat are transmitted or received through separate channels and shared with participants, and modifications to the music content playlist are reflected in real time by participants.

Recently, with the development of IT technology and the spread of viral diseases, social distancing and working from home have become commonplace, and a variety of services and content are being provided in a non-contact manner. For example, various cultural content such as sports, movies, and music performances that users previously enjoyed by visiting in person, as well as various gatherings that users previously held in person, are now being provided in a non-contact manner through internet-based online service platforms.

In particular, voice chat applications have been used to facilitate online communication between acquaintances, such as friends or family, and the number of users has been expanding recently. Although voice chat applications have the advantage of allowing conversations without meeting face-to-face, they have many limitations when participants share various content, such as music, together.

Meanwhile, various service platforms for sharing music content among multiple users have recently emerged. Participants of such service platforms may wish to chat or share opinions while enjoying the shared music content. For example, a voice chat may be performed while playing music content shared among multiple users. However, in this case, the sound quality may be degraded due to the mixing of the played music content with the voice dialogue, making it difficult to appreciate the quality of the music content. In addition, in existing music content sharing services, when a music source list set by the host is played, other participants passively listen to the played music, making it difficult to smoothly share content or communicate among participants.

FIG. 1 is a diagram showing an example in which a service combining music content playback and voice chat is provided according to one embodiment of the present disclosure. FIG. 1 illustrates an example in which a user 110 receives a service combining music content playback and voice chat through a user terminal 120. In one embodiment, a music content sharing room list 130 may be provided through the user terminal 120 associated with the user 110. The music content sharing room list 130 may include at least one of the title, subject, creator or host, tag information, participant information, or current music content information of the music content sharing rooms included in the list.

According to one embodiment, the user 110 can enter a music content sharing room 140 by selecting one of the music content sharing rooms from the list 130. For example, as shown in the figure, the user 110 can enter the corresponding sharing room by selecting the top sharing room 140 from among a plurality of sharing rooms included in the music content sharing room list 130. In this case, the user 110 can become a participant of the music content sharing room 140 that the user has entered. Alternatively, the user 110 can open a new music content sharing room and become a host of the opened music content sharing room.

When a user 110 enters a music content sharing room 140, the user terminal 120 or a processor may receive music content data related to the music content sharing room 140. The music content data may include some or all of the data related to the music content shared in the music content sharing room. The music content data may include, but is not limited to, current music content, playback information, a music content list, etc. The current music content included in the music content data may include music content that is currently being played or currently waiting to be played in the music content sharing room. The playback information may include information regarding the playback of the current music content. For example, it may include information on whether the music content is currently being played, information on the part of the music content that is currently being played, etc. The music content list may include a list of one or more music contents, order information, information on users who added or recommended the music content to the list, shuffle playback information, repeat playback information, etc.

In one embodiment, the processor may output the received music content data. For example, the current music content may be played according to the playback information, and the music content list 170 may be output on a display. In one embodiment, the user 110 may save at least one of the music contents included in the music content list 170 in the memory of the user terminal 120 or in a user account, or add it to a personal playlist.

Additionally, a player user interface 150 including information on the current music content may be displayed on the display of the user terminal 120. For example, as shown, the title, artist, album cover, currently playing portion, etc. of the music content may be displayed on the display of the user terminal 120. Information on the current music content may be included in the received music content data. Additionally or alternatively, if the user 110 is granted playback control authority by the host, a user interface for controlling the player may be displayed on the display of the user terminal 120.

In one embodiment, the player control group may include at least one of the host or users granted playback control authority by the host. Users belonging to the player control group may control the playback of music content in the music content sharing room and may create, modify, or delete a music content list. For example, users belonging to the player control group may control the playback of music content by pausing the playback of the current music content, playing a different part from the currently playing part, or playing other music content included in the music content list.

In response to a request for music content playback control or a request for changing a music content list from a user belonging to a player control group, one or more user terminals or processors associated with one or more participants belonging to the music content sharing room may receive the changed music content data in real time. Accordingly, the changed music content data may be output through a user terminal associated with each participant. For example, the processor may play a different portion of the current music content using the changed music content data and may additionally display the currently played portion on the display. As another example, the processor may play new music content using the changed music content data and may additionally output a player user interface including information on the new music content.

In one embodiment, when the user 110 belongs to a player control group, in response to a request for music content playback control or a request for changing a music content list through the user 110's operation of the player user interface 150, the processor can transmit the changed music content data to the information processing system in real time, and the processor of the user terminal associated with the participant of the music content sharing room can receive and output the changed music content data in a manner similar to the process described above.

The above-mentioned process of transmitting, receiving, and outputting the modified music content data can be performed in real time whenever requested by a user belonging to the player control group. With this configuration, unlike a conventional radio broadcast host unilaterally sharing music content, the player control of at least some of the participants can be reflected in real time to all participants, allowing music content to be shared two-way among participants.

Additionally, the processor may receive a participant list for the music content sharing room 140 in response to the user 110's entry into the music content sharing room 140. The participant list may include some or all of the data related to one or more participants participating in the music content sharing room. The participant list may include a list of one or more participants, each participant's nickname, profile picture, voice chat permissions, etc. In one embodiment, the processor may output the received participant list 160. For example, the processor may output participants' nicknames, profile pictures, voice chat permissions, etc. on a display as shown.

According to an embodiment, if there is a voice chat between participants who are participating in the same music content sharing room as the user 110, the processor may receive the voice chat data. The voice chat data may include some or all of the data related to the voice chat between the participants in the music content sharing room. In addition to the voice data, the voice chat data may additionally include participant information related to the user terminal that sent the corresponding voice chat. The music content data may be transmitted or received through a communication channel established between the user terminal and the information processing system. Also, the voice chat data may be transmitted or received through a communication channel separate from the music content data. Here, the communication channel may be a physical communication channel or a logical communication channel established between the user terminal and the information processing system. For example, the music content data and the voice chat data may be transmitted or received through a communication channel based on an Internet-based data transmission and control protocol established between the user terminal and the information processing system (e.g., a streaming channel based on RTSP (real-time streaming protocol), a VoIP channel based on RTP (real-time transport protocol), etc.). Alternatively, the communication channel may refer to a data field included in a data packet configured for transmitting and receiving music content data and/or voice chat data. By transmitting and receiving music content data and voice chat data between a user terminal and an information processing system through such separate communication channels, high-quality music content data and voice chat data can be shared among multiple participants.

According to one embodiment, the processor may simultaneously play back at least a portion of the voice chat data received through one communication channel with at least a portion of the music content data received through another communication channel. For example, the processor may simultaneously play back the voice data included in the received voice chat data with the currently played music content data. Additionally or alternatively, the processor may play back at least a portion of the voice chat data received through one communication channel by mixing it with at least a portion of the music content data received through another communication channel. In this disclosure, "mixing" may mean combining one or more sound source sources, such as voice chat data and music content data, into one sound source for simultaneous playback or playing back one or more sound source sources by relatively adjusting the volume of the sound source sources. In some embodiments, the processor may reduce the playback volume of at least a portion of the music content data while playing back at least a portion of the voice chat data. For example, the processor may play back the currently played music content so that the playback volume is 50% of the current volume while playing back the voice data included in the voice chat data. In this manner, by reducing the playback volume of the music content data while playing back the voice chat data, the voice chat between the participants may proceed smoothly.

In one embodiment, when a user 110 has a voice chat, the processor can transmit the voice chat data to the information processing system, and the processor of the user terminal associated with the other participants in the music content sharing room can receive and play the voice chat data in a manner similar to the process described above. In addition, the process of transmitting, receiving and playing the voice chat data described above can be performed in real time every time a participant in the music content sharing room has a voice chat. In this way, the processor receives the music content and the voice chat through separate channels and plays them simultaneously, allowing participants in the music content sharing room to enjoy high quality music content together while simultaneously having a voice chat.

FIG. 4 is a flowchart illustrating a method 400 for providing a service combining music content playback and voice chat according to one embodiment of the present disclosure. Method 400 may be initiated by a processor receiving music content data of a music content sharing room through a first channel (S410). In one embodiment, the first channel may be a physical or logical communication channel established between a user terminal and an information processing system. In another embodiment, the first channel may be a field of a data packet transmitted through a communication channel established between a user terminal and an information processing system.

In one embodiment, the music content data may include a music content list, current music content, playback information, etc. Additionally, the processor may receive a participant list including the nickname, profile picture, voice chat permissions, etc. of each participant in the music content sharing room.

The processor may output the received music content data (S420). For example, the current music content may be played according to the playback information, and a music content list may be displayed on a display. Additionally, the processor may output the received participant list. For example, the nickname, profile picture, voice chat permissions, etc. of each participant included in the participant list may be displayed on a display of the user terminal.

In one embodiment, in response to a request for music content playback control or a request for changing a music content list from a user belonging to a player control group, the processor may receive changed music content data in real time. Accordingly, the changed music content data may be output. For example, in response to a request from a host to add new music content to a music content list, the processor may receive the added music content, order information, etc. Also, the processor may display the added music content in the music content list according to the order information.

The processor may receive the voice chat data over the second channel (S430). In one embodiment, the second channel may be a physical or logical communication channel established separately from the first channel. In another embodiment, the first and second channels may be separate fields of a data packet transmitted over the communication channel.

In one embodiment, the voice chat data may include voice data and information about participants associated with the user terminal that sent the voice chat. The processor may simultaneously play at least a portion of the received voice chat data with at least a portion of the music content data (S440). For example, the voice data included in the voice chat data may be simultaneously played with the currently played music content data. Additionally or alternatively, the processor may play at least a portion of the received voice chat data by mixing it with at least a portion of the music content data. By transmitting or receiving the music content data and the voice chat data through separate channels and playing each data simultaneously (or by mixing), degradation of the sound quality of the music content may be prevented. One or more of the above steps (S410, S420, S430, S440) may be repeatedly performed, and the method 400 may be terminated by the user leaving the music content sharing room.

The flowchart shown in FIG. 4 and the above description are merely examples, and in some embodiments, one or more steps may be performed in an overlapping manner, one or more steps may be performed multiple times, or the order of the steps may change. For example, if a music content list is generated while only voice chat is taking place in a music content sharing room, the steps of receiving and outputting voice chat data may be performed one or more times, and then the steps of receiving and outputting music content data may be performed.

FIG. 5 is a diagram illustrating an example of a method for opening a music content sharing room according to one embodiment of the present disclosure. According to one embodiment, a music content sharing room list 510 may be provided through a user terminal associated with a user. The user may enter one of the music content sharing rooms in the list 510 and become a participant of the corresponding music content sharing room. Alternatively, the user may open a new music content sharing room and become a host of the opened music content sharing room.

According to another embodiment, a user may request a music content sharing room list associated with a music content list including one or more target music contents 520, and the processor may output the requested music content sharing room list in response thereto. For example, as shown in the figure, a user may request a sharing room list including a song currently being played or waiting to be played on a player of the user terminal in a music content list, and the processor may output the requested sharing room list. According to one embodiment, a user may enter one of the music content sharing rooms in the output list and become a participant of the corresponding music content sharing room. Alternatively, a user may open a new music content sharing room including one or more target music contents 520 in a music content list and become a host of the opened music content sharing room.

In one embodiment, a user can determine the type of the shared room at the opening stage of the music content sharing room. For example, as shown in the figure, a user can determine whether or not to make the shared room public (530). If the host sets the music content sharing room to "public," the shared room can be exposed in the music content sharing room list, and all users can enter the music content sharing room. If the host sets the shared room to "private," only the host or at least some of the participants can enter the shared room through an invitation. As another example, a user can select whether or not to share player control of the shared room (540). Player control can include controlling the playback of music content or creating or changing a music content list. If the host selects the "music playback mode," only the host and participants who have been granted control authority by the host can control the player. If the host selects the "player sharing mode," all participants in the shared room can have player control authority. Additionally or alternatively, the type of the shared room can be determined or changed after the shared room is opened, not at the opening stage.

According to one embodiment, the host can create or modify a music content list for the music content sharing room. For example, the host can search for music content and add it to the music content list, or can add a playlist stored in a user account associated with the host to the music content list. Additionally or alternatively, one or more music contents can be added to the music content list by accepting a participant's request to play one or more pieces of music content.

According to one embodiment, the music content list may be automatically generated by an artificial intelligence-based music selection model (e.g., a machine learning model) that is trained based on the user's music content related information. For example, the music selection model may analyze and learn the user's music content preference information and music content playback or purchase history to generate a music content list including music content that is highly relevant to a specific user or a specific music content sharing room. Additionally or alternatively, a music content sharing room may be automatically generated based on the music content list generated by the music selection model.

Figure 6 is a flowchart showing a method of transmitting, receiving, and playing music content data between a plurality of user terminals 610, 630 and an information processing system 620 according to an embodiment of the present disclosure. The first user terminal 610 may be a user terminal associated with a first user who newly enters the music content sharing room. The second user terminal 630 may be a user terminal associated with a second user who is an existing participant of the corresponding sharing room and is included in the player control group. According to an embodiment, the first user terminal 610 may enter the music content sharing room in response to the first user's request to enter the music content sharing room (612). Additionally, the first user terminal 610 may transmit first user account information associated with the first user to the information processing system 620.

In one embodiment, the information processing system 620 may add first user information including the first user's nickname and profile picture to the participant list of the music content sharing room in response to the first user's entry request. In addition, the information processing system may transmit the modified participant list to user terminals (e.g., the first user terminal 610, the second user terminal 630) associated with the participants of the music content sharing room in response to such a change in the participant list.

The first user terminal 610 may receive music content data 622 of the music content sharing room from the information processing system 620. In one embodiment, the music content data may include a music content list, a current music content, playback information, etc. The first user terminal 610 may output the received music content data (614). For example, the first user terminal 610 may play the current music content according to the playback information and display the music content list on a display. Additionally, the first user terminal 610 may output the received participant list. For example, the first user terminal 610 may display the nickname, profile picture, voice chat permission, etc. of each participant included in the participant list on a display.

In one embodiment, the information processing system 620 may receive a music content data change request (632) from the second user terminal 630. In addition, in response to receiving the change request (632), the information processing system 620 may transmit the changed music content data 624 to at least some of the user terminals (e.g., the first user terminal 610) associated with the participants of the music content sharing room. For example, in response to a request from the second user to add new music content to the music content list, the information processing system 620 may transmit the added music content, order information, etc. to the first user terminal 610.

According to one embodiment, the first user terminal 610 and the second user terminal 630 may output the modified music content data (616, 634). For example, the first user terminal 610 and the second user terminal 630 may display the added music content in a music content list according to the order information. The flowchart illustrated in FIG. 6 and the above description are merely examples, and in some embodiments, one or more steps may be repeated multiple times or the order of each step may change. For example, the process of sending and receiving a music content data change request (632), sending and receiving modified music content data 624, and outputting the modified music content data (616, 634) may be repeated multiple times.

FIG. 7 is a diagram showing an example of synchronizing players among multiple user terminals 710, 720, and 730 according to one embodiment of the present disclosure. The first user terminal 710 may represent the user terminal of a first user who is a host, the second user terminal 720 may represent the user terminal of a second user who is a participant who has been granted playback control authority, and the third user terminal 730 may represent the user terminal of a third user who is a participant who does not have playback control authority. In one embodiment, the playback control authority may include at least one of the authority to control the playback of music content or the authority to create and modify a music content list.

According to one embodiment, the first user can control the playback of music content by operating a part of the player or the controller 712 displayed on the display of the first user terminal 710. For example, the first user can pause the playback of the current music content by clicking or touching a pause icon, and can adjust the part of the music content currently being played by dragging the horizontal bar of the controller. Such playback control by the first user can be reflected in real time on the second user terminal 720 and the third user terminal 730. A second user who has playback control authority can also control the playback of content in the music content sharing room in a similar manner.

According to one embodiment, the playback control of the third user may not be reflected on the user terminals 710, 720, 730 of all participants including the third user terminal 730. For example, even if the third user touches or clicks on a pause icon displayed on the third user terminal, the user terminals of all participants in the music content sharing room may continue to play the currently playing music content without any change. Additionally or alternatively, the third user terminal 730 may not output at least a part of the controller 712 on the display of the third user terminal. For example, the third user terminal 730 may not display on the display a pause icon of the controller 712 that can control the playback of the music content.

FIG. 8 is a flowchart illustrating a method for transmitting, receiving, and playing voice chat data between a plurality of user terminals 810, 830 and an information processing system 820 according to one embodiment of the present disclosure. According to one embodiment, a first user terminal 810 may transmit first voice chat data 814 to an information processing system 820 in response to a voice input of a first user associated with the first user terminal. The first voice chat data 814 may include information about the first user in addition to the voice data of the first user. The voice chat data may be transmitted through a channel established between the first user terminal 810 and the information processing system 820, which may be a separate channel from the channel through which music content data, described below, is transmitted.

The information processing system 820 can transmit the first voice chat data 822 to the user terminals of the participants other than the first user (e.g., the second user terminal). The first voice chat data 822 transmitted by the information processing system 820 to the second user terminal 830 can be the first voice chat data 814 from the first user terminal that has undergone additional data processing. For example, the first voice chat data 822 transmitted to the second user terminal 830 can be the first voice chat data 814 from the first user terminal mixed with voice data from other user terminals. Alternatively, the first voice chat data 814, 822 can be transmitted directly to the user terminals of the participants without passing through the information processing system 820.

According to one embodiment, the second user terminal 830 may play (832) at least a portion of the received first voice chat data 822 simultaneously (or mixed) with at least a portion of the music content data. In one embodiment, the second user terminal 830 may reduce the playback volume of at least a portion of the music content data while playing back at least a portion of the first voice chat data 822.

In one embodiment, when there is voice input (834) from the second user, the second user terminal 830 can transmit the second voice chat data 836 to the information processing system 820, and the information processing system 820 can transmit the second voice chat data 824 to the user terminals of the participants other than the second user (e.g., the first user terminal). The first user terminal 810 can play (816) at least a portion of the second voice chat data 824 simultaneously (or mixed) with the music content data in a manner similar to the process described above.

The above-mentioned process of transmitting, receiving, and playing back the voice chat data can be performed in real time whenever a voice chat occurs among the participants in the music content sharing room. The music content and the voice chat are transmitted and received through separate channels, and the user terminal plays them simultaneously (or mixed together), allowing the participants in the music content sharing room to enjoy high-quality music content together while simultaneously having a voice chat.

Figure 9 is a diagram showing an example in which a service combining playback of music content and voice chat is provided according to one embodiment of the present disclosure. According to one embodiment, a user terminal may display a player user interface 910 and a participant list interface 920 on a display. The player user interface 910 may include current music content, playback information, etc., and the participant list interface 920 may include a participant list, each participant's profile picture 922, nickname 924, voice chat privileges 926, etc.

In one embodiment, a user can select whether or not to activate the microphone (930) to determine whether or not to transmit voice chat data corresponding to the user's voice input. For example, if a user deactivates the microphone, the user terminal can deactivate the user's voice input or not transmit voice chat data even if voice input is detected. Additionally or alternatively, whether or not the user's microphone is activated can be determined or changed by the host of the music content sharing room.

According to an embodiment, a user can input or select an emoji by operating the emoji control 940. The user terminal can transmit emoji data in response to the user's emoji input or selection. Accordingly, the user terminals of all participants in the music content sharing room can output the emoji data and the corresponding emoji on the display in association with the user's profile picture or nickname. For example, in response to the first user clicking the 100-point emoji, the first user terminal associated with the first user can transmit the emoji data to the information processing system. The information processing system can transmit the emoji data to the user terminals (e.g., second user terminals) of all participants in the music content sharing room. Here, the emoji data can additionally include information about the user who transmitted the emoji data (e.g., first user information) in addition to information about the emoji. The second user terminal can display the 100-point emoji 928 in a portion of the first user's profile picture according to the received emoji data.

According to one embodiment, a user can operate an invitation control (950) to invite other users to a music content sharing room in which the user is currently participating. For example, the user terminal can send a participation request to other users who have subscribed to the service at the user's request. As another example, a user can transmit the URL address of the music content sharing room to other users who have not subscribed to the service through a social networking application, etc.

In one embodiment, the user terminal may highlight the borders of the profile picture 922 of the target participant while the voice chat of the target participant is being played. For example, the first user terminal may display the borders of the profile picture of the second user darker or in a particular hue while the voice chat of the second user is being played.

According to one embodiment, the user can block the voice chat of the target participant. For example, in response to the user selecting the target participant from the participant list, the user terminal can either not receive the voice chat data of the target participant from the voice chat data or can play the voice chat data excluding the voice chat data of the target participant.

FIG. 10 is a diagram illustrating an example of a method for requesting playback of one or more music contents 1030 according to an embodiment of the present disclosure. In one embodiment, a participant in a music content sharing room can request the host to play one or more music contents 1030. A first user terminal associated with the participant can transmit the one or more music contents 1030 requested to be played to an information processing system in response to the participant's request to play one or more music contents. Additionally, the first user terminal can also transmit information about the participant who requested the playback. For example, a participant can click or touch a music recommendation icon in the participant list interface 1010 to view a list 1020 of playlists stored in the participant account. The participant can select a playlist to be requested to be played from among the playlists, and the first user terminal can transmit the selected playlist to the information processing system in response to the request.

According to one embodiment, a second user terminal associated with the host can receive one or more music contents 1030 requested for playback, and the host can view them. The host can accept or decline the participant's request for playback. The second user terminal can add one or more music contents 1030 to a music content list in response to the host's input of accepting the participant's request for playback. Such changes to the music content list can be transmitted to an information processing system, which can transmit the changed music content list data to the user terminals of all participants in the music content sharing room. Accordingly, the changes to the music content list can be reflected in the user terminals of all participants.

FIG. 11 is a diagram showing an example of a method for participating in a music content sharing room related to target music content 1110 according to an embodiment of the present disclosure. In one embodiment, a user may request a music content sharing room list in which one or more target music contents 1110 are included in a music content list. In response, the user terminal may output a music content sharing room list 1120 in which the target music content 1110 is included in the music content list. For example, as shown in the figure, a user may request a sharing room list in which a music content list includes a song currently being played or waiting to be played on the player of the user terminal, and the user terminal may output the requested sharing room list. The music content sharing room list 1120 in which the target music content 1110 is included in the music content list may be determined by a processor of the user terminal or a processor of the information processing system.

According to one embodiment, the user can select one of the music content sharing rooms from the output list and enter the corresponding room. Alternatively, the user can open a new music content sharing room that includes one or more target music contents 1110 in the music content list and become the host of the opened music content sharing room.
