Methods, apparatus, systems and articles of manufacture are disclosed for a broadcast profiling system. An example apparatus includes a memory storing instructions, and a processor configured to execute the instructions stored in the memory to compare a preference included in a user profile with a portion of a content station profile to determine whether the preference included in the user profile satisfies a threshold difference from the portion of the content station profile, in response to the threshold difference being satisfied, generate a station recommendation for a user associated with the user profile, and transmit an instruction to a device associated with the user, the instruction including the station recommendation, the instruction configured to cause a radio pre-set to be adjusted.

Broadcast profiling system

Systems and methods are disclosed for dynamic content delivery based on vehicle navigational attributes. An example apparatus includes at least one memory, machine readable instructions, and processor circuitry to execute the machine readable instructions to at least obtain navigational attributes from an electronic device of a vehicle via a network, determine a relevancy score for respective ones of first sporting event data items based on the navigational attributes, based on a determination that the navigational attributes correspond to a driving condition, identify a second sporting event data item of the first sporting event data items based on a relevancy score of the second sporting event data item corresponding to the driving condition, and transmit the second sporting event data item to the electronic device of the vehicle to cause the second sporting event data item to be presented.

Dynamic content delivery based on vehicle navigational attributes

Methods, apparatus, and systems are disclosed for synchronizing streaming media content. An example apparatus includes a storage device, and a processor to execute instructions to identify a first source streaming broadcast media to a first computing device based on an audio fingerprint of audio associated with the broadcast media, identify sources broadcasting the broadcast media streaming to the first computing device, the sources available to a second computing device including the processor, select a second source of the identified sources for streaming the broadcast media to the second computing device, the second source different than the first source, detect termination of the streaming of the broadcast media on the first computing device, the termination corresponding to a termination time of the broadcast media, and automatically start, by using the selected second source, streaming of the broadcast media to the second computing device at the termination time.

Synchronizing streaming media content across devices

Methods, apparatus, systems and articles of manufacture are disclosed for a broadcast profiling system. An example method includes comparing a preference included in a user profile with a portion of a content station profile to determine whether the preference satisfies a threshold difference from the portion of the content station profile, the content station profile including (1) a first characteristic of first broadcast data associated with a first time context and a first count associated with first identifying information and (2) a second characteristic of second broadcast data associated with a second time context and a second count associated with second identifying information; in response to the threshold difference being satisfied, generating a station recommendation for a user associated with the user profile; and transmitting an instruction associated with the user, the instruction including the station recommendation, the instruction configured to cause a radio pre-set to be adjusted.

Systems and methods are disclosed for dynamic content delivery based on vehicle navigational attributes. An example apparatus includes at least one memory, and at least one processor to execute instructions to at least determine an emotional state associated with a user in a vehicle based on data from one or more biometric sensors, the one or more biometric sensors to monitor the user, determine a relevancy score for respective ones of a plurality of sporting event data items based on the emotional state, and present a sporting event data item of the plurality of the sporting event data items to the user based on at least one of the emotional state or a relevancy score of the sporting event data item.

Systems and methods are disclosed for tracking streaming of media content on a second computing device, detecting termination of the streaming of media content on the second computing device, determining when the streaming of the media content was terminated on the second computing device, and automatically resuming streaming of the media content on a first computing device, at a point where the streaming of the media content was terminated on the second computing device.

Systems and methods are disclosed for dynamic content delivery based on vehicle navigational attributes. An example system includes at least one processor, and memory including instructions that, when executed, cause the at least one processor to determine a relevancy score for respective ones of a plurality of sporting event data items based on navigational attributes of a vehicle, determine whether the navigational attributes correspond to a driving condition, the driving condition indicative of a driving pattern of the vehicle in response to a condition external to the vehicle, and in response to determining that the navigational attributes correspond to the driving condition, present a first sporting event data item of the plurality of sporting event data items in response to a relevancy score of the first sporting event data item corresponding to the driving condition.

Systems and methods are presented for receiving, by a server computer, broadcast data for a content station, determining that the broadcast data comprises a change in content for the content station, determining identifying information associated with the broadcast data, analyzing the identifying information associated with the broadcast data to determine characteristics of the broadcast data, storing the identifying information and the characteristics of the broadcast data, incrementing persona characteristics in a datastore for the content station with the characteristics of the broadcast data, and generating a profile of the content station based on the persona characteristics in the datastore of the content station.

Systems and methods are disclosed for receiving, at a computing device in a vehicle, data from a server computer comprising a plurality of sporting event data items. The computing device may determine which of the plurality of sporting event data items to present to a user, by performing various operations. Some example operations may comprise determining a relevancy score for each individual sporting event data of the plurality of sporting event data items, and analyzing navigational attributes of the vehicle to determine navigational conditions. The computing device may select sporting event data items based on the relevancy score and navigational conditions and present the selected sporting event data items to the user.

A signature array of digitally sampled audio is formed from segment(s) of the digitally sampled audio by counting the number of occurrences within the segment(s) in each of a plurality of value bands or slots, such as amplitude bands. The signature array undergoes a fuzzy comparison with signatures arrays in the database. If more than one potential match is found, a more precise comparison is made. In the case of compact discs (CDs), five second sample segments may taken from the beginning, middle and end of each track to detect, e.g., the amplitude of the digitally sampled audio on the CD. A CD signature array may be formed of approximately 2000 value bands or slots by accumulating the occurrence of signals within each slot for all of the sample segments of the CD.
