Publication number: 20230385326Abstract: Techniques for identifying video and/or audio content are presented. An identification management component (IMC) groups users determined to be at least potentially be watching the same content based on first content fingerprints associated with respective content viewed by the users on communication devices, and a defined matching criterion. IMC facilitates identifying the content associated with the group of users based on first content fingerprints associated with the group of users and first reference content fingerprints. IMC receives a second content fingerprint associated with a communication device of a user in the group, sends the second content fingerprint to a third-party identification component for comparison with second reference content fingerprints, and receives content identification information in response.Type: ApplicationFiled: August 14, 2023Publication date: November 30, 2023Inventors: Zbigniew Skolicki, Jurek Foryciarz, Jan Wicijowski, Grzegorz Glowaty

Publication number: 20200245039Abstract: A method is performed at a server system. The server system receives from an electronic device media content information. The server matches the media content information with stored content information, and identifies a media content item based on the matching. It also identifies a genre of the media content item and one or more entities relevant to the identified media content item. The server generates one or more user-selectable elections based on the genre of the media content item. It sends to the electronic device the user-selectable elections and a plurality of affordances. Each of the affordances provides a user of the electronic device with one of the user-selectable elections corresponding to a respective entity that is relevant to the identified media content item. The server receives from the electronic device a selection of the one or more user-selectable elections, and performs an operation associated with the selection.Type: ApplicationFiled: April 13, 2020Publication date: July 30, 2020Inventors: Andrew Kirmse, Jan-Willem Maarse, Yaroslav Volovich, Ant Oztaskent, Ingrid McAulay Trollope, Jurek Foryciarz

Patent number: 10659850Abstract: The various implementations described herein include methods and systems for displaying information related to content playing. In one aspect, a method is performed at a device with a display. The device: (1) determines whether media content is playing at a second device in its proximity; (2) in accordance with a determination that media content is playing, displays on the display a first affordance with a first user-selectable election; (3) receives a selection of the first election; (4) samples at the device program information from a media content item playing at the second device; (5) sends the information to a server; (6) receives from the server an identification of the media content item and second user-selectable elections; (7) displays second affordances providing the second elections; (8) receives a selection of a first one of the second elections; and (9) displays information regarding an entity relevant to the identified media content item.Type: GrantFiled: November 29, 2017Date of Patent: May 19, 2020Assignee: GOOGLE LLCInventors: Andrew Kirmse, Jan-Willem Maarse, Yaroslav Volovich, Ant Oztaskent, Ingrid McAulay Trollope, Jurek Foryciarz
