Patent number: 8199651Abstract: A flow management system for modifying a communication flow from a port at a source IP address to a port at a destination IP address, the modifying being independent of communication flows at other ports at the source IP address and communication flows at other ports at the destination IP address. The system monitors a communication flow between a source port at a source IP address to a destination port at a destination IP address and determines whether a source IP address and destination IP address are participating in a media provider service. The system analyzes the communication flow content and modifies the communication flow from a specific source port to a specific destination port based on the content and whether the source and destination IP addresses are part of a media provider service.Type: GrantFiled: March 16, 2009Date of Patent: June 12, 2012Assignee: Audible Magic CorporationInventors: James B.

Patent number: 8086445Abstract: 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: June 10, 2009Date of Patent: December 27, 2011Assignee: Audible Magic CorporationInventors: Erling H. Wold, Thomas L. Blum, Douglas F. Keislar, James A. Wheaton

Patent number: 8082150Abstract: 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: March 24, 2009Date of Patent: December 20, 2011Assignee: Audible Magic CorporationInventor: Erling H. Wold

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. In one aspect, a method may comprise receiving an unidentified segment; determining whether the unidentified segment is similar to previously received unidentified segments; and sequentially arranging similar unidentified segments in a single super segment.Type: GrantFiled: October 23, 2001Date of Patent: January 25, 2011Assignee: Audible Magic CorporationInventors: James B.

Patent number: 5918223Abstract: A system that performs analysis and comparison of audio data files based upon the content of the data files is presented. The analysis of the audio data produces a set of numeric values (a feature vector) that can be used to classify and rank the similarity between individual audio files typically stored in a multimedia database or on the World Wide Web. The analysis also facilitates the description of user-defined classes of audio files, based on an analysis of a set of audio files that are members of a user-defined class. The system can find sounds within a longer sound, allowing an audio recording to be automatically segmented into a series of shorter audio segments.Type: GrantFiled: July 21, 1997Date of Patent: June 29, 1999Assignee: Muscle FishInventors: Thomas L.
