Abstract:

Methods and apparatus are provided for detecting potential repeating content, such as commercials, in a video data stream by receiving one or more video data streams, parsing each video data stream into a plurality of segments, creating a representation of each segment such as a segment fingerprint, storing the plurality of segment representations in a database, and identifying any segment representations in the received and parsed one or more video data streams that match segment representations in the database that were previously stored from video data streams that were previously received and parsed.

Abstract:

Audio information is monitored by a user device that performs audio content recognition of any received audio content. The user device includes a scheduling logic unit, a probe, and an audio signature generator. The scheduling logic unit maintains a set of scheduling rules that define conditions that were present when previous audio content recognition of audio content received by the user device was successful. The scheduling logic unit receives currently present conditions of the user device, and compares the currently present conditions to the set of scheduling rules to determine if the currently present conditions match any scheduling rules. The user devices captures ambient audio content via the probe and generates audio signatures of the captured audio content using the audio signature generator if a match occurs, and inhibits capturing audio content by the user device and/or inhibits generating audio signatures if a match does not occur.

G10L 19/018
H04W 4/02

Abstract:

Methods and apparatus are provided for generating an audio signature. An audio signal generator generates an audio signal. A speaker responsive to the audio signal generator outputs the generated audio signal. A probe including a microphone samples the generated audio signal detected by the microphone. An audio signature generator is connected to the probe and generates an audio signature from the sampled audio signal detected by the microphone. The audio signature generator generates the audio signature without requiring detection of any additional audio signal. A transmitter connected to the audio signature generator transmits the audio signature to a communications channel.

Abstract:

An automatic content recognition system that includes a user device for the purpose of capturing audio and generating an audio signature. The user device may be a smartphone or tablet. The system is also capable of determining the conditions present at the time of capture of the audio information, environmental conditions. The environmental conditions may include one or more of day, date, time, location, network, motion, orientation, etc. The system may have a database within the user device or the user device may communicate with a server having a database that contains reference audio signatures. The system can identify conditions present at the time of capture of an audio signature that is an acceptable match to a reference audio signature and use the identified conditions to determine conditions under which the system will capture audio content and generate audio signatures.

International Classification:

H04W 4/02
G06F 17/30
G10L 19/018

Abstract:

Automatic content recognition may be utilized to compare audio sampled by one remote user device to audio sampled by another remote user device. Comparisons that match with a sufficient level of confidence may permit a conclusion that the remote user devices are co-located. A remote user device may be associated with an individual or a location. The remote user device may be a device used to collect or process audio information. The remote user device may be a smart phone, tablet or other device. A remote user device may have a probe to collect information for use in automatic content recognition. The remote user device may generate device identification in the form of inaudible audio to assist in determining co-location. The processing may be more efficient by limiting the signature comparisons location and temporal proximate entries.
