  • Generation of fingerprints for multimedia content based on vectors and histograms
    Patent number: 9020964
    Abstract: Surrogate heuristic identification is described, including receiving data associated with content, evaluating the content to identify one or more data structures associated with the content, processing the one or more data structures to generate a fingerprint, wherein the fingerprint is hashed to provide a reference identifier, and sending the reference identifier to a client file and a service file.

  • SURROGATE HASHING
    Publication number: 20120203748
    Abstract: Surrogate hashing is described, including running a hashing algorithm against a portion of a file to generate a hash value, determining whether the hash value is substantially similar to a stored hash value associated with another portion of another file, the portion and the another portion being standardized, and identifying a location of the another file if the hash value is substantially similar to the stored hash value associated with the another portion of the another file.

  • Surrogate heuristic identification
    Patent number: 7991206
    Abstract: Surrogate heuristic identification is described, including selecting a portion of video content, wherein the portion is standardized, identifying a characteristic associated with the video content, using the characteristic to generate a data representation, the data representation being used to provide heuristic data, and processing the heuristic data to generate a fingerprint configured to compare against one or more stored fingerprints associated with other video content.
