Abstract: Systems and methods for optimizing resource utilization of an automated content recognition (ACR) system by delaying the identification of certain large quantities of media cue data are disclosed. The delayed identification of the media may be for the purpose of, for example, generating usage statistics or other non-time critical work flow, among other non-real-time uses. In addition, real-time identification of a certain subset of media cue data is performed for the purposes of video program substitution, interactive television opportunities or other time-specific events.

Abstract: Techniques and systems are provided for identifying a video segment displayed on a screen of a remote television system, and providing an option to switch to an alternative or related version of the video program that includes the video segment. For example, video segments displayed on a screen of a television system can be identified, and contextually-targeted content or contextually-related alternative content can be provided to a television system based on the identification of a video segment. The alternative or related version of the video program can include the currently displayed program in an on-demand format that can be viewed off-line and can be started over from a beginning portion of the program.

Abstract: Provided are devices, computer-program products, and methods for removing redundant data associated with frames. For example, a method can include receiving an initial frame, determining initial cue data for the initial frame, and sending the initial cue data to a server. The method can further include receiving a new frame and determining new cue data for the new frame. The method can further include identifying a pixel value range. The method can further include determining a pixel value difference between an initial pixel data sample and a new pixel data sample. The method can further include determining the pixel value difference is within the pixel value range and updating the new cue data by removing the new pixel data sample from the new cue data when the pixel value difference is within the pixel value range. The method can further include sending the updated new cue data to the server.

Abstract: Provided are systems, methods, and computer-program products for identifying a media content stream when the media content stream is playing an unscheduled media segment. A computing device may receive a plurality of media content streams, where at least two of the plurality of media content streams concurrently includes a same unscheduled media segment. The computing device may determine that the media display device is playing the unscheduled media segment by examining the media content available at the current time in each of the plurality of media content streams. The computing device may determine identification information from the media content included in the media content stream. The computing device may determine contextually-related content, which may be disabled while the unscheduled media segment is being played by the media display device. The computing device may display the media content stream and the contextually-related content after the unscheduled media segment has been played.

Abstract: Provided are devices, computer-program products, and methods for improved management of system resources in a matching system. For example, examples can increase the efficiency of system resource utilization by managing the duration that data related to video segments are retained based on data that takes into account an identified popularity of a video segment. The identified popularity can be determined by algorithms that take into account numbers of viewers who watched the video segment, ratings of the video segment, metrics derived from remote sources, or any other factor that can indicate likelihood that the video segment will be viewed.

Abstract: Systems and methods for identifying a media segment of audio or video content are disclosed. The video segment is identified by deriving data from media content and comparing said data to a reference database in order to identify said video segment. Embodiments of the invention improve the speed and accuracy of the media identification process by advantageously partitioning the indexes in subdivisions where high value reference information is separated from the bulk information, for example.

Abstract: Techniques and systems are provided for identifying unknown content. For example, a number of vectors out of a plurality of vectors projected from an origin point can be determined that are between a reference data point and an unknown data point. The number of vectors can be used to estimate an angle between a first vector (from the origin point to a reference data point) and a second vector (from the origin point to an unknown data point). A distance between the reference data point and the unknown data point can then be determined. Using the determined distance, candidate data points can be determined from a set of reference data points. The candidate data points can be analyzed to identify the unknown data point.
