Abstract:

The approaches of the present disclosure provide for the efficient technology of intelligent association of still images with contextual information relating to sounds such as a sound that may have been ambient when a still image was captured. In particular, a user may use a media device, such as a smart phone or tablet computer, to capture a still image and record first audio, for example, at the time of capturing the still image for a predetermined period of time. The first audio may be then processed and analyzed so as to recognize a particular song or melody, and then a high quality second audio related to the recognized song or melody is downloaded and associated with the still image. Accordingly, the visual nature of still images is enhanced with data relating to contextual auditory information, which boosts the sensory and memory experience for the user.
