Patent number: 10194187Abstract: A media device generates a digital fingerprint of perceptual features of a segment of a work. The segment is less than an entirety of the work and includes at least one of audio or video media content. The media device sends a query to a lookup server for data associated with the work, the query including said digital fingerprint. The media device receives the data associated with said work from said lookup server in response to said query, wherein the data was identified based on a comparison of the digital fingerprint to a collection of digital fingerprints of known works. The media device then processes the received data.Type: GrantFiled: January 21, 2011Date of Patent: January 29, 2019Assignee: Audible Magic CorporationInventors: Vance E. Ikezoye, James B. Schrempp

Patent number: 8332326Abstract: A method and system for identifying a work in a data transfer. In accordance with this invention, a data transfer is received. The media content of a work is then read from the data transfer. The media content is then used to generate a fingerprint of the work. The fingerprint is then used to identify the work. A report including the identity of the work is then generated.Type: GrantFiled: February 1, 2003Date of Patent: December 11, 2012Assignee: Audible Magic CorporationInventors: James B.

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: 8130746Abstract: A system for generating and distributing decoy data for a work in a Peer to Peer network. The system is included in software providing a Peer to Peer connection for a processing system. The processing system receives data for a work over a Peer to Peer connection. The system then determines whether, the work is a protected work. If the work is a protected work, the system insert decoy data into the data of the work and stores the data of the work including the decoy data in memory. The data of the work including the decoy data is then made available for transfer over the Peer to Peer network by the processing system.Type: GrantFiled: July 27, 2005Date of Patent: March 6, 2012Assignee: Audible Magic CorporationInventor: James B.

Patent number: 7917645Abstract: A system and method for identifying media content presented over a media playing device. The media content, such as audio and/or video, is either available digitally or digitally sampled. The media content is sampled to generate a media sample or analytical representation of the media content. The media sample is compared to a collection of sampled (or represented) media content to identify it and to ascertain information related to the sample. This media content-related information is then presented to the user via a display means on the media player. The media player then presents the user specific and related actions that are based upon the information presented and allows the user to directly execute their choice of actions.Type: GrantFiled: October 14, 2008Date of Patent: March 29, 2011Assignee: Audible Magic CorporationInventors: Vance E.
