System and method using specialized computers and software for creating wine and music pairings

Abstract

A system, method, specialized computers, and software for improving wine consumption experience is disclosed. In some configurations, descriptors for wine and or music may be determined. Wine and music profiles may be generated. Wine-music pairs may be created in certain configurations. In some configurations, a user may use certain configurations to select a particular wine, have his or her mobile device play a song matched to that wine.

         2 . The method of  claim 1 , wherein each wine-song pair has a relatively high match quality index as compared to a random pairing of a wine and song. 
     
     
         3 . The method of  claim 1 , wherein each wine-song pair has a measured high match quality index as compared to a random pairing of a wine and song. 
     
     
         4 . The method of  claim 1 , comprising providing a server; the server comprising a software program stored on tangible computer readable media and a processor configured to execute that software program; the software program comprising instructions to generate a match analyzer configured to analyze wine and song descriptors and form wine-song pairs. 
     
     
         5 . The method of  claim 1 , comprising providing a server; the server comprising a software program stored on tangible computer readable media and a processor configured to execute that software program; the software program comprising instructions to generate a question wizard; the question wizard configured to send questions about the wine to the mobile device. 
     
     
         6 . The method of  claim 1 , wherein the software program in the mobile device comprises instructions to execute an app caller; said app caller configured to receive the matched song, call an internet radio application, and instruct the internet radio application to play songs similar to the matched song. 
     
     
         7 . The method of  claim 1 , comprising a server comprising tangible computer readable storage media and a processor; the storage media comprising a software program comprising instructions to execute an app caller; said app caller configured to receive the matched song, call an internet radio application, and instruct the internet radio application to play songs similar to the match song through a sound system within listening distance of a user of the mobile device. 
     
     
         8 . The method of  claim 1 , wherein the software program in the mobile device comprises instructions to: instruct a camera attached to the mobile device to take a picture of a label associated with the wine; determine an alphanumeric representation of the wine; and transfer the alphanumeric representation to a server configured to select a wine-song pair based on the wine. 
     
     
         9 . The method of  claim 1 , wherein the software program in the mobile device comprises instructions to: determine a library of songs on the mobile device, and select a song from the library that has a measured high match quality index with the selected wine. 
     
     
         10 . The method of  claim 1 , wherein the software program stored in the storage media of the mobile device comprises instructions to: determine a library of songs on the mobile device, and present one or more songs not in the library for purchase. 
     
     
         11 . A method for improving wine consumption experience comprising:
 providing a data server comprising a database; the data server comprising tangible computer readable storage media for storing the database, and a processor for receiving, generating, and returning queries on data in the database; the database comprising: a song profile comprising a song ID, descriptor, attribute, and value; and a wine profile comprising a wine ID, descriptor, attribute, and value;   accessing a user interface to select a wine; the user interface supplied by a mobile device comprising a processor configured to execute a software program stored on tangible computer readable media;   accessing the database to determine vales for descriptors of that wine;   analyzing song profiles in the database;   determining a song having a measured high match quality index for that wine;   delivering information on the matched song to the mobile device.   
     
     
         12 . The method of  claim 11 , wherein the software program in the mobile device comprises instructions to: determine a library of songs on the mobile device, instruct the data server to filter the database of song profiles to include only songs in the memory or storage media of the mobile device; and play a song based on the selected wine. 
     
     
         13 . The method of  claim 12 , wherein the software program in the mobile device comprises a similarity engine configured to determine songs similar to the song based on the selected wine. 
     
     
         14 . The method of  claim 13 , wherein the software program in the mobile device comprises a song seller module configured to offer the similar songs for purchase through the software program of the mobile device. 
     
     
         15 . The method of  claim 11 , wherein the software program comprises instructions to: direct an internet radio application to play songs similar to the matched song. 
     
     
         16 . A system for creating wine-music pairings to create enhanced enjoyment, the system comprising:
 a data server comprising a database comprising wine and music profiles, wherein each profile comprises descriptors to characterize a particular song or wine; the data server comprising tangible computer readable storage media for storing the database, and a processor;   a mobile device comprising a tangible computer readable storage media and processor configured to execute the software program stored on the computer readable media, the software program comprising a user interface to select a wine;   a server comprising a tangible computer readable storage media and processor configured to execute the software program stored on the computer readable media, the software program configured: to access the database, analyze the stored descriptors for the selected wine, analyze descriptors for wine profiles in the database, and generate a list of wine-music pairings.   
     
     
         17 . The system of  claim 16  wherein the software program comprises:
 a wine analyzer configured to scour information from wine review websites; 
 a wine profiler configured to store the scoured information into an associated wine profile; and 
 a wine descriptor converted configured to convert wine descriptors into music wine descriptors. 
 
     
     
         18 . The system of  claim 16 , comprising a commander module configured to direct a song profiler to generate and populate the song profiles using data from song review websites. 
     
     
         19 . The system of  claim 16 , comprising a commander module configured to direct a song profiler to generate and populate the song profiles by directing a question wizard to solicit information from a user of the software program stored on the mobile device. 
     
     
         20 . The system of  claim 16 , comprising a commander module configured to direct a wine profiler to: generate and populate wine profiles by directing a question wizard to solicit information from a user of the software program stored on the mobile device; and store the information in the database.
