  • Methods for collecting media segments in a media signal via comparing segments of the signal to later segments
    Patent number: 7593850
    Abstract: A method to achieve signals which are essentially devoid of unwanted signal components uses a search and comparison process. Media signals are received through receiving means, the media signals containing unwanted signal components, a representation for the media signals is chosen, and the media signals are processed in such a way that the unwanted signal components are essentially removed and the remaining signal components are saved.

  • Method and arrangement for search and recording of media signals
    Patent number: 7062442
    Abstract: The method and a system is for locating and recording time-limited signal sequences in media channels that may contain undesirable signal components, e.g., recording music in radio transmissions. The signals are continuously buffered in a memory. The user identifies a desired source material. Out of this desired source material a section may be taken as a search key. The device may also select search keys automatically. If a second instance of the search key is detected, signal sequences that in time are connected to the search keys are compared. The signal sequences that by comparison are substantially identical are identified as belonging to the same, wanted, source material. The next step is an iteration of the above procedure results in a longer and higher quality segment of source material than the initial common segment.
