    摘要: A transcoder is adapted to perform transcoding of metadata to enable sharing and consumption of media content at dissimilar devices that are coupled to a home network. The transcoder, which is also coupled to the home network, is adapted to receive media content and metadata from a first media consumption device, to transcode the media content and metadata from a first format to second format, and to supply the transcoded media content and metadata to the second media consumption device in the second format. In one embodiment, the transcoder executes a method by which the transcoder obtains information about the sensing capabilities of a meter adapted to measure media at a media consumption device and subsequently uses that information to transcode the metadata into a format suitable for sensing by the meter.

    摘要: A coupon management system transmits or broadcasts a coupon information from a broadcasting/ transmitting system to a receiving system together with a program or commercial message. The receiving system generates a coupon issuance request on the basis of the coupon information, and attaches to the request an identifier of the program or commercial message with which the coupon information is provided. The coupon issuance request attached with the identifier is transmitted from the receiving system to a service center. The service center issues a coupon on the basis of the coupon issuance request and calculates a number of issued coupons for each program or commercial message.

    摘要: A discrimination apparatus shows whether data can be viewed and listened to or not in a signal reproduced from a recording media. A determining unit judges whether the signal reproduced from the recording media in which broadcast signals recorded are digitally reproduced from digital broadcast including data signal after digital recording. A display control unit outputs a display control signal according to the judging result input from the determining unit. A display unit shows whether the data of data signal can be viewed and listened to or not depending on the display control signal.

    摘要: A computer system receives information snippets from a mobile device. The information snippets are extracted from a simulcast of a data stream of a radio broadcast received on the mobile device. The system identifies content metadata from the information snippets. The content metadata describes one or more features of the radio broadcast. The system selects a radio station from a radio station repository based on attributes of the radio station. One of the selection criteria is that the attributes of the radio station match at least a portion of the content metadata. The system presents a reference to the radio station to the mobile device as a recommendation.
