摘要

A musician discovery system is provided. The musician discovery system includes a first interface for displaying a plurality of musicians organized according to a musical characteristic. The system includes a second interface for presenting multimedia information about a first musician from the plurality of musicians displayed on the first interface. The system includes means for comparing a second plurality of musicians with the first musician using the multimedia information presented on the second interface about the first musician. Furthermore, the system includes a third interface for recommending a second musician from the second plurality of musicians based on the comparing means.

主权项

1. A musician discovery system comprising:
a computing device configured to display user interfaces to a user; a first interface displayed by the computing device for displaying a plurality of first musicians organized according to a musical characteristic, the first musicians being determined by an external media source in response to a query from the user, each of the first musicians being determined when a respective first computed score is above a first threshold value; a plurality of separated regions arranged within the first interface each of which is dedicated to one of the first musicians, wherein, upon selection of a first separated region corresponding to a first one of the first musicians, the first separated region expands to present first multimedia information about the first musician, the expanded first separated region displacing an adjacent separated region corresponding to a further one of the first musicians; a selectable region displayed within the expanded first separated region, the selectable region, when selected by the user, causing the computing device to access the external media source to retrieve a plurality of second musicians, the first computed score for each of the second musicians being below the first threshold value, and the computing device comparing multimedia information associated with the second musicians with the first multimedia information presented on the expanded separated region about the first one of the first musicians to generate a second computed score; and a second interface displayed by the computing device recommending a selected one of the second musicians when the second computed score is above a second threshold value.
