  • Patent number: 11622163
    Abstract: An example method comprises receiving, at a first digital device, video data, scanning video content of the video data for visual transitions within the video content between consecutive frames of the video data, each transition indicating significant visual transitions relative to other frames of the video data, timestamping each visual transition and create a first set of temporal video fingerprints, identifying items of metadata to be associated with the video data, identifying a location within the video data using the temporal video fingerprints for the identified items of metadata, generating a metadata index identifying each item of metadata and a location for each item of metadata relative to the video data using at least one of the temporal video fingerprints, and transmitting, at the first digital device, the video data, the first set of temporal video fingerprints, and the metadata index to a different digital device.

  • Patent number: 8355676
    Abstract: A system and method for determining the source of and/or reducing radio frequency interference in an RF communications system is disclosed. The system and method is configured to compare first transmission data and second transmission data for conflicts and provide notification of a conflict to a relevant entity. The first transmission data can include first frequency data, first destination data, and first time data for an RF transmission associated with the first RF device. The second transmission data can include second frequency data, second destination data, and second time data. The system and method analyzes the first transmission data and the second transmission data for any conflicts and can provide notification of any conflicts or potential conflicts to interested parties.
