  • Methods and systems for determining a latency between a source and an alternative feed of the source
    Patent number: 10757456
    Abstract: An example method includes receiving queries from devices that include respective samples of content from a stream of content rendered by a source, receiving samples of content from a stream of content rendered by an alternative feed of the source, and for each sample of content from the alternative feed of the source, identifying respective matching queries that match to the same content as the sample of content from the alternative feed of the source. The method also includes for each respective matching query, determining a respective relative time difference between a time that the content appears in the sample of content from the alternative feed and a time that the content appears in the respective matching query, accumulating a distribution of the time differences over time, and determining a latency between the source and the alternative feed of the source.
