Abstract
Certain aspects of an apparatus and method for scene change detection-based trigger for audio fingerprinting analysis may include a content-rendering device communicably coupled to a content-server. The content-rendering device may sample an audio component of the content at a sampling rate. The content-rendering device may generate and communicate to the content-server, an audio fingerprint based on the sampled audio component. The content-rendering device may further modify the sampling rate based on a detected scene change in the content. The scene change may be detected based on the communicated audio fingerprint. In another embodiment, the content-server may receive a plurality of audio fingerprints and detect a change in a type of content associated with the plurality of audio fingerprints. The content-server may further communicate a trigger signal to the content-rendering device that indicates the detected change in the type of content associated with the plurality of audio fingerprints.
