APPARATUS AND METHOD FOR IDENTIFYING AUDIO

摘要

An audio sample is recorded on a portable device (112) from an audio track. The audio sample is then stored in a cache on the portable device (112). The audio sample is transmitted to a computing device (106) to be identified. The audio sample is received by the computing device and fingerprinting is performed on the audio sample to obtain a unique audio fingerprint for the audio sample. A fingerprint database (116) is then searched for a match of the fingerprint to a known fingerprint of a previously identified audio track. A match is located and identification data associated with the previously identified audio track is sent to the portable device. Identification of the audio sample is then received and displayed on the portable device.
