Sony patents auto-mixing your music into game recordings
Sony describes a system that takes a video of someone playing a game and automatically adds music from their personal library. It matches songs to the gameplay by comparing the video's features with the music's properties, then mixes the chosen track into the final clip.
In the filing’s own words
A video segment of video game play by a user can be augmented by the addition of a personalized soundtrack using one or more audio tracks (e.g., songs or other music tracks) that are automatically selected from a personal audio library of the user. Selection can be based on similarity between properties associated with the audio track and attributes of the video segment. The selected audio track(s) can be mixed with game sounds in the video segment.
What exactly they claim (claim 1)
1. A computer-implemented method comprising: receiving a recorded video segment of game play by a user of a video game system; determining one or more attributes of the recorded video segment; selecting, from a personal audio library associated with the user, an audio track to accompany the recorded video segment, wherein each audio track in the personal audio library has an associated set of properties and wherein the selection of the audio track is based at least in part on a similarity between the one or more attributes of the recorded video segment and the set of properties of the audio tracks; and mixing at least a portion of the selected audio track into the recorded video segment to produce an augmented video segment.
