    摘要: Systems and methods for facilitating contextual queries based on media samples automatically captured by a computing device are disclosed herein. A server receives from a computing device over a communication network, a media sample of a media asset automatically captured by the computing device. The server obtains contextual information corresponding to the captured media sample. The server stores the media sample in a memory indexed by the contextual information. The server receives, from the computing device over the communication network, a query that includes a criterion but lacks an identifier of the media asset. The server identifies the media sample in the memory by matching the query criterion to the contextual information. The server generates a reply to the query based on the identifying of the media sample and communicates the reply to the computing device over the communication network.

    摘要: A new multimedia file that includes multiple video frames is received. A determination is made as to whether a set of one or more machine-learning models was previously applied to a related multimedia file to identify at least one unique item of interest in the related multimedia file. In response to the set of one or more machine-learning models being previously applied to the related multimedia file, the set of one or more machine-learning models may be applied to the multiple video frames of the new multimedia file to at least identify the at least one unique item of interest in the new multimedia file. In response to no machine-learning model being previously applied to the related multimedia file, a new set of one or more machine-learning models may be applied to the new multimedia file to identify one or more unique items of interest in the new multimedia file.

    摘要: A system and method are provided for mobile center geofencing. A geofencing node receives mobile center unit data communications including mobile center unit locations. The mobile center unit geographic location is positioned on a map, and geofence boundaries are created on the map around the mobile center unit geographic locations. In the case that the mobile center unit is a mobile media unit, capable of selectively projecting media messages, the mobile media unit geographic locations are cross-referenced to media projection information. The mobile center unit data being received may include mobile media unit geographic locations cross-referenced to time. Then, mobile media unit geographic locations may be cross-referenced to the media projection information with respect to the time. If the mobile media unit data receives media message projection selective enablement times, the media message projection enablement times are cross-referenced to mobile media unit geofence boundaries.
