Abstract

A consensus-based approach can be used to determine content that was provided by one or more sources over a period of time. Devices receiving or obtaining the content can analyze the content to generate a fingerprint or other representation of the received content. The fingerprint data from the various devices can be aggregated and analyzed to determine whether a consensus can be reached as to an identity of the content that was received. Information for the identified content can then be used to generate a schedule of times at which various instances of content were provided by the one or more sources.
