PASSIVE VIEWING DATA COLLECTION IN A VIDEO PLACE-SHIFTING ENVIRONMENT

摘要

A method of processing video content is presented here. The method receives a video stream at a place-shifting device, identifies an audio segment of the received video stream, and communicates the identified audio segment to an automatic content recognition (ACR) system. In certain situations, the place-shifting device encodes the received video stream for transmission compatibility with a data communication network, obtains a network identifier of a remote user device, and provides the encoded video stream to the data communication network, using the network identifier for routing guidance. For such situations, the audio segment is communicated to the ACR system while the encoded video stream is being provided to the data communication network.

1. A method of processing video content, the method comprising:
receiving a video stream at a place-shifting device; identifying an audio segment of the received video stream; encoding the received video stream for transmission compatibility with a data communication network, resulting in an encoded video stream; obtaining a network identifier of a remote user device; providing the encoded video stream to the data communication network, using the network identifier for routing guidance; and communicating the identified audio segment to an automatic content recognition (ACR) system, wherein the communicating is performed while the encoded video stream is being provided to the data communication network.
