Publication number: 20250378454Abstract: An automated integrated dataset marketplace method is disclosed. The method includes capturing and processing user data from transactions associated with a user to generate a user data footprint. The method includes creating reference clusters from the captured user data, identifying, confirming, and rating provenance characteristics of the user data in the created reference clusters. The method includes generating an augmented user data footprint through supplemental user data, including watermark and authorization data on a territory basis, and processing the augmented user data footprint, scoring the same based on industry-specific parameters and weightings, and generating one or more user data registries on an industry-by-industry basis. Thereafter, the method includes enabling transacting of datasets from the one or more user data registries between users supplying data for said datasets and entities desiring to acquire the same.Type: ApplicationFiled: June 4, 2025Publication date: December 11, 2025Applicant: CAMBRIAN LABS LLCInventors: Manu Kalia, Olaf Jonny Groth, Tobias Christopher Straube, Michael Jeffrey, Mark Jay Nitzberg

Publication number: 20250239242Abstract: Apparatus, methods, and systems that operate to provide interactive streaming content identification and processing are disclosed. An example apparatus includes a classifier to determine an audio characteristic value representative of an audio characteristic in audio; a transition detector to detect a transition between a first category and a second category by comparing the audio characteristic value to a threshold value among a set of threshold values, the set of threshold values corresponding to the first category and the second category; and a context manager to control a device to switch from a first fingerprinting algorithm to a second fingerprinting algorithm different than the first fingerprinting algorithm, responsive to the detected transition between the first category and the second category.Type: ApplicationFiled: April 9, 2025Publication date: July 24, 2025Inventors: Michael Jeffrey, Markus K. Cremer, Dong-In Lee
