Apple applies for patent for iPhone karaoke
The USPTO has published an application today by Apple Computer for the dynamic display of song lyrics on a portable display. This is how it’s going to work:
A method for presenting lyrics on a display screen of a portable media device, said method comprising: (a) identifying an audio file for a media item to be played, the identified audio file including at least audio content for the media item; (b) retrieving an augmented lyrics file, the augmented lyrics file including the lyrics pertaining to the media item; (c) initiating playing of audio content from the identified audio file; and (d) dynamically displaying a portion of the lyrics from the augmented lyrics file such that the portion of the lyrics being displayed corresponds to that portion of the audio content being played.
How annoying could that be – mobile karaoke everywhere!
