Patent number: 11954149Abstract: Techniques of content unification are disclosed. In some example embodiments, a computer-implemented method comprises: determining clusters based a comparison of a plurality of audio content using a first matching criteria, each cluster of the plurality of clusters comprising at least two audio content from the plurality of audio content; for each cluster of the plurality of clusters, determining a representative audio content for the cluster from the at least two audio content of the cluster; loading the corresponding representative audio content of each cluster into an index; matching the query audio content to one of the representative audio contents using a first matching criteria; determining the corresponding cluster of the matched representative audio content; and identifying a match between the query audio content and at least one of the audio content of the cluster of the matched representative audio content based on a comparison using a second matching criteria.Type: GrantFiled: October 27, 2022Date of Patent: April 9, 2024Assignee: Gracenote, Inc.Inventors: Peter C. DiMaria, Markus K. Cremer, Barnabas Mink, Tanji Koshio, Kei Tsuji

Publication number: 20150178280Abstract: A machine may form all or part of a network-based system configured to provide media service to one or more user devices. The machine may be configured to define a station library within a larger collection of media files. In particular, the machine may access metadata that describes the media files included in the collection and access a seed that forms the basis on which the station library is to be defined. The machine may generate a list of media files from the metadata and based on the seed and enable a human editor to modify the machine-generated station set according to a human-contributed input to the station list. The machine may then modify the station set based on the submitted input and configure a media service to provide one or more user devices with a datastream that includes media files selected from the modified station list.Type: ApplicationFiled: December 19, 2013Publication date: June 25, 2015Applicant: Gracenote, Inc.Inventors: Peter C.

Publication number: 20010037407Abstract: A system and method for managing user-specific data communicated over a network independent of devices used to communicate. The user profile or preference data specific to a user is automatically detected, extracted and stored in a server independent of the device used by a user to communicate. The next time the user communicates from any device to the same domain or application, to exchange information, the stored user profile or preference data is retrieved and used during the communication.Type: ApplicationFiled: March 23, 2001Publication date: November 1, 2001Inventors: Zvetan Dragulev, Barnabas Mink
