Abstract: A syndicated-content recognition system retrieves, from at least one database, media broadcast files broadcast by a plurality of media broadcast sources, wherein individual media broadcast files are associated with stations, days of the week, and times. Based on historical data associated with the media broadcast files, the system determines whether a particular media broadcast file associated with a particular station and a particular time is likely to include syndicated content. In response to determining that the particular media broadcast file is likely to include syndicated content the particular media broadcast file is tagged to generate a tagged media broadcast file, and the tagged media broadcast file is exempted from syndicated-content-comparisons with other media broadcast files.

Abstract: A client device can wait for an intermediary device to open a licensing window before transmitting a licensing request to the intermediary device. The intermediary device transmits the licensing request to an authentication server, which responds by transmitting a message indicating approval status of the request back to the intermediary device. The client device receives, from the intermediary device, a licensing response reporting the approval status indicated by the message from the authentication server. The client device communicates with the intermediary device via one network, while the intermediary device communicates with the authentication server via a different network.

Abstract: Small changes in a broadcast version of a base media item can be identified by performing a multi-level comparison of digital fingerprints. A fingerprint of a base media item is compared to a fingerprint of a media broadcast to determine whether a media item embedded in a broadcast is likely, to a first level of certainty, to be the base media item. A second, more stringent, match between the fingerprint of the base media item and loosely matched items can be used to identify potentially-altered versions of the base media item. Potentially-altered versions can be compared against each other, and resulting matches are flagged as altered base media items, which can be fingerprinted and tested against broadcast fingerprints in the same manner as the base media item.

Abstract: A mobile device can be used as an intermediary to allow a client device to obtain licensing authentication. The mobile device can connect to the client device whenever the mobile device is within a proximity threshold to the client device. The mobile device can also control when a licensing message window is opened. When the mobile device is connected to the client device, and the licensing message window is open, the mobile device can act as an intermediary between the client device and the authentication server. Messages from the authentication/licensing server can be queued in the mobile device, and messages to the mobile device can be queued in the client device for later delivery if there is no communication or if the licensing message window is closed.

Abstract: A method includes generating, at a device, text based on speech content of an audio file that is identified in a transmission schedule. The method also includes comparing, at the device, the text to metadata of a content item identified in the transmission schedule. The method further includes, based on determining that at least a portion of the text matches at least a portion of the metadata, storing a data record associated with the transmission schedule. The data record indicates that the audio file is associated with the content item. Other aspects are also disclosed.

Abstract: Event records can include session data representing a particular consumer and a particular standard period of time, and can include station identification information indicating a media station to which the consumer was tuned during standard period of time. Records can be designated as overlapping event records if multiple event records represent the same consumer and the same period of time, but identify different media stations, and at least some overlapping event records can be eliminated from consideration before determining audience migration information. Audience migration information, including tune-ins and tune-outs, can be determined based on whether or not a consumer has multiple event records showing different media stations at adjacent times. The audience migration information can then be transmitted to an end-user machine for display.
Abstract translation: 事件记录可以包括表示特定消费者的会话数据和特定的标准时间段,并且可以包括指示消费者在标准时段期间被调谐到的媒体站的站标识信息。 如果多个事件记录代表相同的消费者和相同的时间段,但是识别不同的媒体站,则可以将记录指定为重叠的事件记录,并且在确定观众迁移信息之前可以从考虑中消除至少一些重叠的事件记录。 可以基于消费者是否在相邻时间显示不同媒体站的多个事件记录来确定观众迁移信息,包括调整和调出。 然后可以将观众迁移信息传送到最终用户机器进行显示。

Abstract: A first speech audio file scheduled for transmission in a first position of a transmission schedule, a first transcript of the first speech audio file, and first metadata associated with a first content item scheduled for transmission in a second position of the transmission schedule are obtained. The first metadata is compared to at least a portion of the first transcript to determine whether any of the first metadata matches the at least a portion of the first transcript. In response to determining that at least a portion of the first metadata matches at least a portion of the first transcript, linkages are created between the first speech audio file and the first content item. A graphical user interface (GUI) is generated, and displays a list of items scheduled for transmission including: a first identifier representing the first speech audio file in the first position; and a second identifier representing the first content item in the second position.

Abstract: A graphical user interface (GUI) is implemented on a computing device that includes a processor and associated memory. The GUI includes a graphical presentation pane configured to display a graph including at least one plot representing listenership information along a Y axis of the graph, and a period of time along an X axis of the graph. The listenership information is associated with at least one selected station, and the period of time is determined based on a user-selection of the period of time. The GUI also includes a marker that can be positioned over different portions of the plot in response to user input, and a media log pane linked to a current portion of the plot over which the marker is positioned. the media log pane displays media items corresponding to both the at least one selected station and a time indicated by the current portion of the plot.

Potentially-altered versions can be compared against each other, and resulting matches are flagged as altered base media items, which can be fingerprinted and tested against broadcast fingerprints in the same manner as the base media item. Comparisons are made in parallel between two fingerprints to distinguish between a known base media item and unknown altered versions of the known base media item without prior storage of the unknown altered versions of the known base media item.
