US Classification:

700 94

Abstract:

An audio media visualization method and system. The method includes receiving by a computing processor, mood description data describing different human emotions/moods. The computer processor an audio file comprising audio data and generates a mood descriptor file comprising portions of the audio data associated with specified descriptions of the mood description data. The computer processor receives a mood tag library file comprising mood tags mapped to animated and/or still objects representing various emotions/moods and associates each animated and/or still object with an associated description. The computer processor synchronizes the animated and/or still objects with the portions of said audio data and presents the animated and/or still objects synchronized with the portions of said audio data.

International Classification:

G06F 17/30

US Classification:

707783, 707E1701

Abstract:

Access control list entries are managed as a function of access control list entry metadata for the object and the requesting user, and of an access control list rule applicable to the requesting user and the requested object. The access control list entry metadata for the object and the user is updated in response to request authorizations and denials. The access control list entry metadata for the object and the user is linked to the object and the user. Updating of the access control list entry metadata for the object and the user does not overwrite metadata for another access control list entry that is associated with the object and with another user that is different from the user.
