Methods, systems, and computer program proucts for categorizing/rating content uploaded to a network for broadcasting

摘要

Methods, systems, and computer program products that automatically categorize and/or assign ratings to content (video and audio content) uploaded by individuals who want to broadcast the content to others via a communications network, such as an IPTV network, are provided. When an individual uploads content to a network, a network service automatically extracts an audio stream from the uploaded content. Words in the extracted audio stream are identified. For each identified word, a preexisting library of selected words is queried to determine if a match exists between words in the library and words in the extracted audio stream. The selected words in the library are associated with a particular content category or content rating. If a match exists between an identified word and a word in the library, the uploaded content is assigned a content category and/or rating associated with the matched word.

1. A device, comprising:
a processor; and a memory that stores executable instructions that, when executed by the processor, facilitate performance of operations, comprising:
extracting an audio stream from uploaded content to obtain an extracted audio stream, wherein the uploaded content is uploaded to a communications network for broadcasting;identifying words within the extracted audio stream, wherein the words include spoken words and musical lyrics, wherein the musical lyrics are provided in metadata of the extracted audio stream;identifying non-speech sounds within the extracted audio stream;querying words stored within a library to determine whether a match exists between identified words in the extracted audio stream and words stored within the library, wherein the library stores a plurality of words, wherein the library is provided by a network service operating on the communications network, and wherein each word of the plurality of words stored in the library has a content category or content rating assigned thereto;querying non-speech sound patterns stored within the library to detect a match between identified non-speech sounds in the extracted audio stream and non-speech sound patterns stored within the library;assigning a content category or a content rating to the uploaded content in accordance with a match between the identified words and the words stored within the library as an assigned word content category; andassigning a content category or a content rating to the uploaded content in accordance with a match between the identified non-speech sounds and the non-speech sound patterns stored within the library as an assigned non-speech sound content category.
