Periodic ambient waveform analysis for enhanced social functions

摘要

In particular embodiments, one or more computer-readable non-transitory storage media embody software that is operable when executed to receive an audio waveform fingerprint and a client-determined location from a client device. The received audio waveform fingerprint may be compared to a database of stored audio waveform fingerprints, each stored audio waveform fingerprint associated with an object in an object database. One or more matching audio waveform fingerprints may be found from a comparison set of audio waveform fingerprints obtained from the audio waveform fingerprint database. Location information associated with a location of the client device may be determined, and the location information may be sent to the client device. The client device may be operable to update the client-determined location based at least in part on the location information.

1. One or more computer-readable non-transitory storage media embodying software that is operable when executed to:
receive an audio waveform fingerprint and a client-determined location from a client device; compare the received audio waveform fingerprint to a database of stored audio waveform fingerprints, each stored audio waveform fingerprint associated with an object in an object database; find one or more matching audio waveform fingerprints from a comparison set of audio waveform fingerprints obtained from the audio waveform fingerprint database; determine, based at least in part on the matching audio waveform fingerprints, location information associated with a location of the client device; and send the location information to the client device, wherein the client device is operable to update the client-determined location based at least in part on the location information; wherein:
the database of stored audio waveform fingerprints comprises uploaded audio waveform fingerprints from one or more other client devices; andthe comparison set of audio waveform fingerprints is determined based at least in part on the received client-determined location.
