  • Publication number: 20230244710
    Abstract: A method and system classify media content items and then identify a subset of the classified media content items. In embodiments, audio features of a plurality of media content items are processed by one or more machine learning model to classify each of the media content items as containing music or not containing music. Those media content items not containing music are filtered out, digital fingerprints of those media content items that contain music are generated, and the digital fingerprints are used to identify those media content items that contain music.

  • Publication number: 20230063864
    Abstract: In one embodiment, a processing device receives a first digital fingerprint of a media item along with a first content management rule. The processing device separately receives a second digital fingerprint of the media item along with a second content management rule. The processing device determines that the received digital fingerprints are for the same media item based upon a match between the first digital fingerprint and the second digital fingerprint. The processing device determines that all rights to the media item have been accounted for, and then determines a set of actions to be performed for hosted media items comprising the media item based at least in part upon the first content management rule and the second content management rule. Processing logic may also perform a conflict resolution process for conflicting rights claims to the media item.

  • Patent number: 11294954
    Abstract: An unidentified media content item may be received by a processing device. A set of features of the unidentified media content item may be determined. Metadata associated with the unidentified media content item may be determined. A first similarity between the metadata associated with the unidentified media content item and additional metadata associated with a known media content item from a media content repository may be determined. A second similarity between the set of features of the unidentified media content item and an additional set of features associated with the known media content item may be determined. The unidentified media content item may be identified as a cover of the known media content item based on the first similarity and the second similarity by the processing device.

  • Patent number: 11288302
    Abstract: A media item may be received by a computing device. One or more works may be identified in the media item. One or more ratios may be determined based on the length of the media item and/or lengths of one or more identified works in the media item. An output may be determined based on the one or more ratios.

  • Patent number: 11158013
    Abstract: In one embodiment, a processing device receives a request to claim ownership of a first hosted media item on a first media sharing platform, wherein the request is received from a rights holder that holds one or more rights to a claimed media item that is incorporated into the first hosted media item. The processing device adds an indicator of the ownership of the rights holder to a first entry for the first hosted media item in a data store. The processing device determines that a second hosted media item having a threshold similarity to the first hosted media item is hosted by a second media sharing platform. The processing device automatically adds an indicator of the ownership of the rights holder to a second entry for the second hosted media item without receiving a separate request to claim ownership of the second hosted media item.

  • Publication number: 20190028766
    Abstract: A media content item may be received by a first processing device. A set of features of the media content item may be determined. The set of features determined from the media content item may be analyzed using a media classification profile comprising a first model for a first class of media content items and a second model for a second class of media content items. Whether the media content item belongs to the first class of media content items or the second class of the media content items may be determined based on a result of the analysis. Responsive to determining that the media content item belongs to the first class, either a portion of the media content item or a digital fingerprint of the media content item may be sent to a second processing device for further processing.

  • Publication number: 20150006310
    Abstract: Systems, methods, and computer-readable storage media that may be used to populate a content interface having several positions are provided. One method includes determining a first set of eligible content bids by comparing a performance characteristic of each content bid with a first threshold value. The method further includes conducting a first auction process on the first set of one or more eligible content bids to determine one or more first content items to be displayed in at least one position of a content interface. The method further includes determining a second set of eligible content bids by comparing a performance characteristic of each content bid with a second threshold value. The method further includes conducting a second auction process on the second set of one or more eligible content bids to determine content items to be displayed in at least one other position of the content interface.
