Abstract

A system and method are disclosed for estimating a video game's tempo and selecting a music track that includes a track tempo associated with the video game's tempo.

What is claimed is: 
     
         1 . A method comprising:
 estimating, via one or more processors, a first tempo of a video game;   selecting a first music track including a track tempo associated with the first tempo of the video game;   playing the first music track;   estimating a second tempo of the video game, the second tempo represents a change in the video game;   selecting a second music track including a track tempo associated with the second tempo of the video game;   terminating play of the first music track; and   playing the second music track.   
     
     
         2 . A method comprising:
 estimating, via one or more processors, a first tempo of a video game;   selecting a first music track including a track tempo associated with the first tempo of the video game; and   playing the first music track.   
     
     
         3 . The method of  claim 2  wherein the first tempo of the video game is based on a video presentation of the video game. 
     
     
         4 . The method of  claim 2  wherein the first tempo is estimated from an intensity of animation of the video game. 
     
     
         5 . The method of  claim 2 , further comprising estimating a second tempo of the video game, the second tempo represents a change in the video game. 
     
     
         6 . The method of  claim 5 , further comprising selecting a second music track including a track tempo associated with the second tempo of the video game. 
     
     
         7 . The method of  claim 6 , further comprising playing the second music track mixed with the first music track during a transition period before playing of the first music track is terminated. 
     
     
         8 . A non-transitory computer-readable storage medium carrying one or more sequences of one or more instructions which, when executed by one or more processors, cause a device to at least perform the following steps:
 estimate a first tempo of a video game;   select a first music track including a track tempo associated with the first tempo of the video game;   play the first music track;   estimate a second tempo of the video game, the second tempo represents a change in the video game;   select a second music track including a track tempo associated with the second tempo of the video game;   terminate play of the first music track; and   play the second music track.   
     
     
         9 . A non-transitory computer-readable storage medium carrying one or more sequences of one or more instructions which, when executed by one or more processors, cause a device to at least perform the following steps:
 estimate a first tempo of a video game;   select a first music track including a track tempo associated with the first tempo of the video game; and   play the first music track.   
     
     
         10 . The non-transitory computer-readable storage medium of  claim 9  wherein the first tempo of the video game is based on a video presentation of the video game. 
     
     
         11 . The non-transitory computer-readable storage medium of  claim 9  wherein the first tempo is estimated from an intensity of animation of the video game. 
     
     
         12 . The non-transitory computer-readable storage medium of  claim 9  including further instructions that cause the device to at least estimate a second tempo of the video game, the second tempo represents a change in the video game. 
     
     
         13 . The non-transitory computer-readable storage medium of  claim 12  including further instructions that cause the device to at least select a second music track including a track tempo associated with the second tempo of the video game. 
     
     
         14 . The non-transitory computer-readable storage medium of  claim 13  including further instructions that cause the device to at least play the second music track mixed with the first music track during a transition period before playing of the first music track is terminated.
