Abstract

The present invention relates to the continuous monitoring of an audio signal and identification of audio items within an audio signal. The technology disclosed utilizes predictive caching of fingerprints to improve efficiency. Fingerprints are cached for tracking an audio signal with known alignment and for watching an audio signal without known alignment, based on already identified fingerprints extracted from the audio signal. Software running on a smart phone or other battery-powered device cooperates with software running on an audio identification server.
