Publication number: 20170228803Abstract: Systems and methods for media content licensing are disclosed. A reception component can receive a media file and an analysis component analyzes the media file in connection with a set of quality metrics. The analysis component can also determine characteristics of the media file including potential monetization of a new media file that integrates the media with other media content. A matching component can match the media file to a set of other media content for potential integration with the media file. In an aspect, the matching is based on the potential monetization of a new media file generated by integration of the media file with the subset of the other media content. A licensing component further presents the media file to an owner of a subset of the other media content to consider granting a license to use the subset of the other media content with the media file.Type: ApplicationFiled: May 2, 2012Publication date: August 10, 2017Applicant: GOOGLE INC.Inventor: Morgan Francois Stephan Dollard

Patent number: 8807426Abstract: User credentials are passed to a mobile computing device using scannable images. A scannable image is generated based on a previously created user profile. A user accesses a website from a computer and, in response, the scannable image is locally displayed on the computer. The mobile computing device may be authenticated by capturing the scannable image that is displayed on the computer. In the event that a user profile stored on the mobile computing device matches the previously created user profile that is encoded in the scannable image, the mobile computing device is authenticated. The user may then directly access data and/or interact with the website using the authenticated mobile computing device.Type: GrantFiled: June 18, 2013Date of Patent: August 19, 2014Assignee: Google Inc.Inventor: Morgan Francois Stephan Dollard
