  • Identifying media components
    Patent number: 11500916
    Abstract: A computer system arranged to determine whether a candidate media-component matches one or more reference media-components is provided. The computer system includes at least one processing device arranged to receive the candidate media-component. The at least one processing device may also include a window generator arranged to select a portion of the candidate media-component; a fingerprint generator arranged to generate a fingerprint from the portion of the candidate media-component selected by the window generator; and a comparator arranged to compare at least some of a candidate's fingerprints within the sequence of candidate fingerprints against fingerprints within the sequences of reference fingerprints. The comparator may assess at least one characteristic of the comparison between the fingerprints within the sequence.

  • Identifying media components
    Patent number: 10977298
    Abstract: A computer system arranged to determine whether a candidate media-component matches one or more reference media-components, wherein the computer system comprises: at least one processing device arranged to receive the candidate media-component and the at least one processing device further comprising: a window generator arranged to select a portion of the candidate media-component; a fingerprint generator arranged to generate a fingerprint from the portion of the candidate media-component selected by the window generator, wherein the at least one processing device is arranged to cause the window generator to move through the candidate media component thereby selecting a plurality of portions of the candidate media component from at least some of which the fingerprint generator is arranged to generate a candidate fingerprint thereby creating a sequence of candidate fingerprints; a comparator arranged to compare at least some of the candidate fingerprints within the sequence of candidate fingerprints against fi
