Abstract:
Methods, devices, systems and computer program products utilized watermarks that are embedded in a content to facilitate content access, and to enhance a user's experience by allowing the user to explore additional options for obtaining the desired content and related items of interest, in one method, an indication for an access to a content is received that includes one or more copy management watermarks and one or more enhanced payload watermarks. At least one copy management watermark and at least one enhanced payload watermark are extracted from the content. Upon a determination, based on the at least one copy management watermark, that access rights to the content is restricted, the enhanced payload watermark is used to present one or more alternative options.
Abstract:
Methods, devices and systems enable watermark detection and content management in a media server. The described technology reduces the cost of implementation of watermark screening components in a media server and provides an efficient architecture that reduces processing loads and makes efficient use of memory resources. The disclosed techniques further thwart attempts that are directed circumvention watermark screening of content in a media server in order to gain unauthorized access to multimedia content.
Abstract:
Systems and methods are provided for monitoring transmissions of media content (such as audio and audiovisual content) in order to obtain independent and objective data regarding the use of specific media content recordings or works within the transmissions. Processing and reporting of such data is provided in various ways to serve a variety of business needs. Methods for employing content identification technology to efficiently and automatically obtain reliable, accurate, and precise monitoring data are also disclosed. Various information products and services based on such monitoring systems are proposed.
