SYSTEM AND METHOD FOR RECOGNIZING BROADCAST PROGRAM CONTENT

摘要

A broadcast program content recognition system comprising at least one receiver adapted to sample broadcast program content from a broadcast source; a content recognition engine for recognizing and storing the sampled broadcast program content; and a content database in data communication with the content recognition means; the content database adapted to return information relating to the broadcast program content upon receipt of a query from a client device is disclosed. The system is configured such that in event where the content recognition engine is unable to recognize the sample broadcast program content, the content recognition engine splits the unrecognized sample into at least a first and a second sequential portions and appends the first portion to a previously recognized sample.
