    Abstract: A user (102) hears an audio program being broadcast and can record a sample of the audio. The sample is then conveyed to an analyzing means (106) to determine to which broadcast station the user is listening. The analyzing means monitors many broadcast channels. Thus, characteristics of the audio sample and samples taken from the broadcast channels can be compared to find a match. Broadcast information pertaining to the broadcast channel from which the match was found may then be reported back to the user, combined with an advertisement of a promotion, prize notification, discount offers, and other information specific for a certain radio station for example.

    Abstract: A device configured to receive a request, from a server, to provide frequency code information identifying a frequency code. The frequency code includes frequencies to be emitted by a broadcasting device that presents a first content. The device may generate a code based on the request. The device may receive a second content from the server. The device may store the second content and the code so that the second content is associated with the code. The device may generate the frequency code information based on the code. The device may provide the frequency code information for the frequency code to be emitted by the broadcasting device. The device may receive the code from a listening device that detected the frequency code emitted by the broadcasting device. The device may provide the second content associated with the code to the listening device.

    Abstract translation: 一种被配置为从服务器接收请求以提供标识频率代码的频率代码信息的设备。 频率码包括由呈现第一内容的广播设备发射的频率。 设备可以根据请求生成代码。 设备可以从服务器接收第二内容。 设备可以存储第二内容和代码,使得第二内容与代码相关联。 设备可以基于代码生成频率代码信息。 该装置可以提供由广播装置发射的频率码的频率码信息。 设备可以从侦听由广播设备发射的频率代码的监听设备接收代码。 设备可以向听音设备提供与代码相关联的第二内容。

    Abstract: Methods and apparatus to generate and use content-aware watermarks are disclosed herein. An example disclosed method includes detecting a watermark in a first media composition, the watermark encoded with a word present in an audio track of the first media composition, the word audible during playback of the audio track. The example method also includes retrieving the word from the watermark. The example method also includes determining whether the word retrieved from the watermark matches a keyword, and presenting a second media composition when the word matches the keyword.

    Abstract: Example methods disclosed herein to monitor media presented by a media device include adjusting, with a circuit, an inbound audio signal input to the media device based on (i) a level of an outbound audio signal generated by the media device and (ii) a level of the inbound audio signal to produce an adjusted inbound audio signal. Such disclosed example methods also include combining, with the circuit, the adjusted inbound audio signal with a sampled version of the outbound audio signal to determine a return signal. Such disclosed example methods further include processing the return signal to determine first identification information to identify first presented media having an audio portion corresponding to the outbound audio signal generated by the media device.

    Abstract translation: 本文公开的用于监视由媒体设备呈现的媒体的示例方法包括基于(i)媒体设备产生的出站音频信号的电平,利用电路调整输入到媒体设备的入站音频信号,以及(ii) 入站音频信号的电平,以产生调整的入站音频信号。 这样公开的示例方法还包括将经调整的入站音频信号与出站音频信号的采样版本组合在一起,以确定返回信号。 这样公开的示例性方法还包括处理返回信号以确定第一识别信息以识别具有对应于由媒体设备产生的出站音频信号的音频部分的第一呈现媒体。

    Abstract: A second screen system comprises a first screen that renders a first content comprising watermarks of a first type and watermarks of a second type. The watermarks of the first type are captured by a second screen that reacts to these watermarks. The second screen displays information to a user and receives user input. The second screen also watermarks a second content with watermarks of the second type and renders the second content. A third device captures watermarks of the second type in both the first content and the second content. Since the watermarks embedded by the second screen can depend on the user's actions, the third device can indirectly react to the user's actions.

    Abstract translation: 第二屏幕系统包括第一屏幕,其使得包括第一类型的水印和第二类型的水印的第一内容。 第一类型的水印由对这些水印作出反应的第二屏幕捕获。 第二屏幕向用户显示信息并接收用户输入。 第二屏幕还用第二类型的水印水印第二内容并呈现第二内容。 第三设备在第一内容和第二内容中捕获第二类型的水印。 由于第二屏幕嵌入的水印可以取决于用户的动作,所以第三设备可以间接地对用户的动作作出反应。
