Filed:

Mar 16, 2021

Appl. No.:

17/203370

Inventors:

- Barto PA, US
Patrick Clay Greene - Van Nuys CA, US
Michael Eric Phillips - Melrose MA, US
Timothy J. Carroll - Haddonfield NJ, US

International Classification:

H04N 21/242
H04N 21/231
H04N 21/858
H04N 21/234
H04N 21/233

Abstract:

A method for a media environment driven content distribution platform includes obtaining synchronization data derived from the content and ancillary data pegged to instants in the synchronization data derived from the content, and communicating the synchronization data derived from the content and the ancillary data pegged to the instants in the synchronization data derived from the content such that subsequent alignment of the synchronization data derived from the content to the content synchronizes the ancillary data pegged to the instants in the synchronization data derived from the content to the content.

Abstract:

Coordinates as ancillary data in a media environment driven content distribution platform may include obtaining synchronization data and ancillary data that identifies a set of coordinates representing a location within a visual portion of the audiovisual content, the ancillary data pegged to instants in the synchronization data, and communicating the synchronization data and the ancillary data pegged to the instants in the synchronization data such that subsequent alignment of the synchronization data to the audiovisual content synchronizes the set of coordinates representing the location within the visual portion of the audiovisual content.

Inventors:

- Barto PA, US
Patrick GREENE - Van Nuys CA, US

International Classification:

G10L 25/54
G06F 17/30
G10L 25/21

Abstract:

Audio fingerprinting includes obtaining audio samples of a piece of audio, generating frequency representations of the audio samples, identifying increasing and decreasing energy regions in frequency bands of the frequency representations, and generating hashes of features of the piece of audio. Each hash of features corresponds to portions of the identified energy regions appearing in a respective time window. Each feature is defined as a numeric value that encodes information representing: a frequency band of an energy region appearing in the respective time window, whether the energy region appearing in the respective time window is an increasing energy region or whether the energy region appearing in the respective time window is a decreasing energy region, and a placement of the energy region appearing in the respective time window.
