  • System and methods for modifying improperly formatted metadata
    Patent number: 9516386
    Abstract: Systems and methods are provided for modifying metadata associated with content that is improperly formatted. In one configuration a metadata pre-processor receives metadata from a remote source, determines whether the received metadata is properly formatted, and, if it is not, modifies the metadata based on information received from a second remote source. In one configuration the modified metadata is then used to identify information associated with the content.

  • Systems and methods for matching media content data
    Patent number: 8990223
    Abstract: Methods and systems are described herein for managing an aggregation database. Matching rules that describe filters may be defined to determine how to match a media content record received from an external source to a stored record in the aggregation database. Fuzzy matching may be used to match attribute fields of the received record and stored records. Based on the results of the fuzzy matching, the received primary media content record may be linked to a stored record in the aggregation database.
