  • Identifying classic videos
    Patent number: 8650488
    Abstract: Methods and systems that identify classic videos. A classic video is a video that consistently receives high viewership over a long period of time. A video hosting server identifies a number of views that a video received for each day during a measurement period.

The video hosting server identifies the video as a classic video responsive to the video having a number of high view days that are above a threshold number of days.
