A system receives a media content item and analyzes the media content item to identify copyrighted material contained therein. Analyzing the media content item includes determining an initial interval for selecting segments of the media content item to be analyzed, generating a first digital fingerprint of a first segment of the media content item, comparing the first digital fingerprint to at least a first subset of a plurality of digital fingerprints of a first plurality of known works to determine whether the first digital fingerprint matches one of the plurality of digital fingerprints of the first plurality of known works, and determining an updated interval for selecting the segments of the media content item to be analyzed based on whether or not a match was found between the first digital fingerprint and one of the plurality of digital fingerprints of the first plurality of known works.

Dynamic adjustment of parameters for media content identification

Embodiments cover identifying an unidentified media content item as a cover of a known media content item using lyrical contents. In an example, a processing device receives an unidentified media content item and determines lyrical content associated with the unidentified media content item. The processing device then determines a lyrical similarity between the lyrical content associated with the unidentified media content item and additional lyrical content associated with a known media content item of a plurality of known media content items. The processing device then identifies the unidentified media content item as a cover of the known media content item based at least in part on the lyrical similarity, resulting in an identified cover-media content item.

Music cover identification with lyrics for search, compliance, and licensing

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.

Music cover identification for search, compliance, and licensing

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.

Temporal fraction with use of content identification

A media stream cue point creator receives a media stream comprising at least one of an audio portion or a video portion, wherein the media stream lacks at least one indicator of a content segment within the media stream. The media stream cue point creator identifies a first segment of the plurality of segments of the media stream, wherein the segment corresponds to a segment in a segment reference data store, and creates a cue point associated with the first segment, wherein the cue point identifies at least one of a beginning or an end of the first content segment in the media stream.

Media stream cue point creation with automated content recognition

A processor receives a first list comprising a plurality of events from a portion of digital data of an unknown work and one or more metrics between each pair of adjacent events from the plurality of events. The processor compares the first list to a second list comprising events and metrics between events for a known work to determine a first quantity of hits and a second quantity of misses. The processor determines whether the first list matches the second list based on the first quantity of hits and the second quantity of misses. The processor determines that the unknown work is a copy of the known work responsive to determining that the first list matches the second list.

System for identifying content of digital data

A method and system for playlist generation is disclosed. In one aspect, the system may include at least one analysis module for receiving and analyzing an unknown work and generating a corresponding representation thereof, and at least one identification (ID) server for receiving the representation from the analysis modules and determining the identity of the unknown work.

Play list generation method and apparatus

A computing system selects a portion of data of an unknown work and detects each event in the portion of data of the unknown work. An event is a perceptual occurrence in a work successively positioned in time. The system determines an event metric between each successive event in the portion of data in the unknown work and generates a list of event metrics between the events for the unknown work. The system compares the list of event metrics for the unknown work to a list of event metrics for a known work and determines the unknown work is a copy of the known work responsive to a match between the list of event metrics of the unknown work and the list of event metrics for the known work.

Playlist generation method and apparatus

A flow management system for modifying a communication flow from a port at a source IP address to a port at a destination IP address, the modifying being independent of communication flows at other ports at the source IP address and communication flows at other ports at the destination IP address. The system monitors a communication flow between a source port at a source IP address to a destination port at a destination IP address and determines whether a source IP address and destination IP address are participating in a media provider service. The system analyzes the communication flow content and modifies the communication flow from a specific source port to a specific destination port based on the content and whether the source and destination IP addresses are part of a media provider service.

Method and system for modifying communication flows at a port level

A system for identifying a work represented by digital data. This system detects events in data of the content of an unknown work and measures a metric between the events. The system then compares the detected events and metrics from an unknown work with the events and metrics of a known work. If the events and metrics match, the unknown work is identified as a copy of the known work.
