Patent number: 7877438Abstract: A new media identification system is disclosed. In one aspect, a system may comprise at least one analysis module for receiving and analyzing an received work and generating a corresponding representation thereof; at least one identification (ID) server for receiving the representation from the at least one analysis module and generating a list of unidentifiable received works. A method for identifying new media is also disclosed.

Patent number: 7562012Abstract: A method and apparatus for creating a signature of a sampled work in real-time is disclosed herein. Unique signatures of an unknown audio work are created by segmenting a file into segments having predetermined segment and hop sizes. The signature then may be compared against reference signatures. One aspect may be characterized in that the hop size of the sampled work signature is less than the hop size of reference signatures. A method for identifying an unknown audio work is also disclosed.Type: GrantFiled: November 3, 2000Date of Patent: July 14, 2009Assignee: Audible Magic CorporationInventors: Erling H. Wold, Thomas L. Blum, Douglas F. Keislar, James A. Wheaton

Patent number: 7529659Abstract: A system for determining an identity of a received work. The system receives audio data for an unknown work. The audio data is divided into segments. The system generates a signature of the unknown work from each of the segments. Reduced dimension signatures are then generated at least a portion of the signatures. The reduced dimension signatures are then compared to reduced dimensions signatures of known works that are stored in a database. A list of candidates of known works is generated from the comparison. The signatures of the unknown works are then compared to the signatures of the known works in the list of candidates. The unknown work is then identified as the known work having signatures matching within a threshold.Type: GrantFiled: September 28, 2005Date of Patent: May 5, 2009Assignee: Audible Magic CorporationInventor: Erling H. Wold

Patent number: 7500007Abstract: A system and method for identifying media content presented over a media playing device. The media content, such as audio and/or video, is either available digitally or digitally sampled. The media content is sampled to generate a media sample or analytical representation of the media content. The media sample is compared to a collection of sampled (or represented) media content to identify it and to ascertain information related to the sample. This media content-related information is then displayed by the media player. The media player then presents the user specific and related actions that are based upon the information presented and allows the user to directly execute their choice of actions.Type: GrantFiled: September 29, 2004Date of Patent: March 3, 2009Assignee: Audible Magic CorporationInventors: Vance E. Ikezoye, James B. Schrempp

Publication number: 20090030651Abstract: A system for identifying a work represented by digital data. This system detects events in data of the content of an unknown work and measures a metric between the events. The system then compares the detected events and metrics from an unknown work with the events and metrics of a known work. If the events and metrics match, the unknown work is identified as a copy of the known work.Type: ApplicationFiled: July 27, 2007Publication date: January 29, 2009Applicant: AUDIBLE MAGIC CORPORATIONInventor: Erling Wold
