Patent number: 9049468Abstract: A computing device executing a server engine receives a digital fingerprint created from a segment of a work, the work being a single rendering, the segment being less than an entirety of the work, and the digital fingerprint being based on perceptual features of the segment. The computing device compares the digital fingerprint to a plurality of digital fingerprints from a plurality of known works to identify a known work of the plurality of known works that corresponds to the work. The computing device transmits content-related data associated with the known work to a client device.Type: GrantFiled: September 14, 2012Date of Patent: June 2, 2015Assignee: AUDIBLE MAGIC CORPORATIONInventors: Vance E.

Publication number: 20140215643Abstract: A computing system selects a portion of data of an unknown work and detects each event in the portion of data of the unknown work. An event is a perceptual occurrence in a work successively positioned in time. The system determines an event metric between each successive event in the portion of data in the unknown work and generates a list of event metrics between the events for the unknown work. The system compares the list of event metrics for the unknown work to a list of event metrics for a known work and determines the unknown work is a copy of the known work responsive to a match between the list of event metrics of the unknown work and the list of event metrics for the known work.Type: ApplicationFiled: April 4, 2014Publication date: July 31, 2014Applicant: Audible Magic CorporationInventor: Erling Wold

Patent number: 8332326Abstract: A method and system for identifying a work in a data transfer. In accordance with this invention, a data transfer is received. The media content of a work is then read from the data transfer. The media content is then used to generate a fingerprint of the work. The fingerprint is then used to identify the work. A report including the identity of the work is then generated.Type: GrantFiled: February 1, 2003Date of Patent: December 11, 2012Assignee: Audible Magic CorporationInventors: James B.

Patent number: 8199651Abstract: A flow management system for modifying a communication flow from a port at a source IP address to a port at a destination IP address, the modifying being independent of communication flows at other ports at the source IP address and communication flows at other ports at the destination IP address. The system monitors a communication flow between a source port at a source IP address to a destination port at a destination IP address and determines whether a source IP address and destination IP address are participating in a media provider service. The system analyzes the communication flow content and modifies the communication flow from a specific source port to a specific destination port based on the content and whether the source and destination IP addresses are part of a media provider service.Type: GrantFiled: March 16, 2009Date of Patent: June 12, 2012Assignee: Audible Magic CorporationInventors: James B.

Patent number: 8130746Abstract: A system for generating and distributing decoy data for a work in a Peer to Peer network. The system is included in software providing a Peer to Peer connection for a processing system. The processing system receives data for a work over a Peer to Peer connection. The system then determines whether, the work is a protected work. If the work is a protected work, the system insert decoy data into the data of the work and stores the data of the work including the decoy data in memory. The data of the work including the decoy data is then made available for transfer over the Peer to Peer network by the processing system.Type: GrantFiled: July 27, 2005Date of Patent: March 6, 2012Assignee: Audible Magic CorporationInventor: James B.

Patent number: 8112818Abstract: A system for identifying a work represented by digital data. This system detects events in data of the content of an unknown work and measures a metric between the events. The system then compares the detected events and metrics from an unknown work with the events and metrics of a known work. If the events and metrics match, the unknown work is identified as a copy of the known work.Type: GrantFiled: October 24, 2007Date of Patent: February 7, 2012Assignee: Audible Magic CorporationInventor: Erling Wold

Patent number: 8086445Abstract: A method and apparatus for creating a signature of a sampled work in real-time is disclosed herein. Unique signatures of an unknown audio work are created by segmenting a file into segments having predetermined segment and hop sizes. The signature then may be compared against reference signatures. One aspect may be characterized in that the hop size of the sampled work signature is less than the hop size of reference signatures. A method for identifying an unknown audio work is also disclosed.Type: GrantFiled: June 10, 2009Date of Patent: December 27, 2011Assignee: Audible Magic CorporationInventors: Erling H.

Patent number: 8082150Abstract: A system for determining an identity of a received work. The system receives audio data for an unknown work. The audio data is divided into segments. The system generates a signature of the unknown work from each of the segments. Reduced dimension signatures are then generated at least a portion of the signatures. The reduced dimension signatures are then compared to reduced dimensions signatures of known works that are stored in a database. A list of candidates of known works is generated from the comparison. The signatures of the unknown works are then compared to the signatures of the known works in the list of candidates. The unknown work is then identified as the known work having signatures matching within a threshold.Type: GrantFiled: March 24, 2009Date of Patent: December 20, 2011Assignee: Audible Magic CorporationInventor: Erling H.

Patent number: 8006314Abstract: A system for identifying a work represented by digital data. This system detects events in data of the content of an unknown work and measures a metric between the events. The system then compares the detected events and metrics from an unknown work with the events and metrics of a known work. If the events and metrics match, the unknown work is identified as a copy of the known work.Type: GrantFiled: July 27, 2007Date of Patent: August 23, 2011Assignee: Audible Magic CorporationInventor: Erling Wold

Patent number: 7917645Abstract: A system and method for identifying media content presented over a media playing device. The media content, such as audio and/or video, is either available digitally or digitally sampled. The media content is sampled to generate a media sample or analytical representation of the media content. The media sample is compared to a collection of sampled (or represented) media content to identify it and to ascertain information related to the sample. This media content-related information is then presented to the user via a display means on the media player. The media player then presents the user specific and related actions that are based upon the information presented and allows the user to directly execute their choice of actions.Type: GrantFiled: October 14, 2008Date of Patent: March 29, 2011Assignee: Audible Magic CorporationInventors: Vance E.
