  • Publication number: 20160248526
    Abstract: Systems and methods are provided for identifying a video object using digital fingerprints. The digital fingerprints are generated from information extracted from the video object including encoded video. The digital fingerprints can be calculated in a manner that permits identification of both the video object and operational characteristics of the video object based on matching calculated digital fingerprints with known fingerprints of known video objects. Systems and methods are described that allow a DVD to be uniquely identified and identify whether the DVD is original, copied or pirated. Systems and methods are described for computing digital fingerprints from strings of bits in which certain additional data is optionally embedded. Systems and methods are described that permit media players to access known signatures of known video objects maintained on one or more databases and to identify video objects presented for playing on the media player.

  • Patent number: 9414128
    Abstract: A method and system of providing content-aware persistent advertisements comprises the steps of ingesting and collecting VDNA (Video DNA) fingerprints of media contents playing on various network-enabled terminals including Internet browsers, mobile devices, tablets, smart televisions and so on; sending the ingested fingerprints along with other information such as metadata, user's location, etc, to the content identification server via Internet or mobile networks, and selecting accurate advertisements according to the media content and relevant information, then finally pushing the advertisements back to user's terminal. With VDNA fingerprint identification, media contents are identified by content instead of metadata or other surrounding information, so that the result of identification can be considered genuine, and the chosen advertisements based on the media content can be persistent across multiple terminals playing the same media content.

  • Patent number: 8204314
    Abstract: A method and system for generating a spatial signature for a frame of a video object. The method includes obtaining a frame associated with a video object, and dividing the frame into a plurality of blocks. The plurality of blocks corresponds to a plurality of locations respectively, each of the plurality of blocks includes a plurality of pixels, and the plurality of pixels corresponds to a plurality of pixel values respectively. Additionally, the method includes determining a plurality of average pixel values for the plurality of blocks respectively. Each of the plurality of blocks corresponds to one of the plurality of average pixel values. Moreover, the method includes processing information associated with the plurality of average pixel values and determining a plurality of comparison values for the plurality of blocks respectively based on at least information associated with the plurality of average pixel values.
