  • Patent number: 11012532
    Abstract: Methods and systems for circumventing content blocking systems are disclosed. Example implementations include detecting the presence of an existing blocker that disrupts a first content-type and circumventing the blocker, such that a circumvented first content-type is presented to a user. The method can also include determining that the blocker has adjusted to block the circumvented content, in which case, the method can include disrupting presentation of a second content-type.
    Type: Grant

  • Publication number: 20130178966
    Abstract: A method of identifying a media program from its associated audio signal comprising dividing a portion of the range of human-audible frequencies in a quasi-logarithmic fashion into a plurality of spectral bands; recording a segment of predetermined length from the audio signal at a predetermined interval to obtain a plurality of analog audio samples, the predetermined interval being a fraction of the predetermined length; converting each analog audio sample to a plurality of digital audio samples at a first sampling rate; creating a frequency domain representation of each digital audio sample; determining spectral energy within each spectral band for each digital audio sample; reflecting whether the spectral energy within each spectral band went up between adjacent ones of the plurality of digital samples as a Boolean array; and representing the audio signal with a predetermined number of Boolean arrays. A confidence score for each value can then be calculated.
