METHOD AND SYSTEM FOR VERIFYING SCHEDULED MEDIA ASSETS

摘要

Systems and methods are described herein for validating content scheduled to be transmitted from a content source. The system may generate a media fingerprint of the content that is transmitted during a specific time from a specific content source. The system may then compare the media fingerprint with media fingerprints in a database of known media assets. When a match is found, the system may retrieve a unique identifier associated with the matched fingerprint. The system may further determine a unique identifier associated with generated media fingerprint. The system may then compare the two identifiers and if the unique identifiers match the media asset is validated. If the unique identifiers do not match, a discrepancy is found and various actions may be taken in response.

1. A method for validating scheduled content, the method comprising:
generating, at a first time, a first media fingerprint based on a first media asset and a second media fingerprint based on a second media asset, wherein the first media asset has a first media identifier and the second media asset has a second media identifier; generating, at a second time, a third media fingerprint based on a third media asset that is received at a first scheduled time from a content source; comparing the third media fingerprint with the first media fingerprint to determine whether the third media asset matches the first media asset; determining that the third media asset matches the first media asset based on the comparison of the third media fingerprint and the first media fingerprint; in response to determining that the third media asset matches the first media asset, assigning the first media identifier to the third media asset; comparing the first media identifier with a media identifier that is associated with a media asset scheduled to be transmitted at the first scheduled time from the content source; determining, based on comparing the first media identifier with the media identifier that is associated with the media asset scheduled to be transmitted at the first scheduled time from the content source, whether the third media asset was scheduled to be transmitted at the first scheduled time; and in response to determining that the third media asset was scheduled to be transmitted at the first scheduled time, storing an indication that the media asset scheduled to be transmitted at the first scheduled time from the content source was transmitted at the first scheduled time from the content source.
