Automated multimedia content recognition

摘要

An automated content recognition system accurately and reliably generates content identification information for multimedia content without accessing the multimedia content or a reliable source of the multimedia content. The system receives content-based queries having fingerprints of multimedia content. The system compares the individual queries to one another to match queries and thereby form query clusters that correspond to the same multimedia content. The system aggregates identification information from the queries in a cluster to generate reliable content identification information from otherwise unreliable identification information.

1. A computer-readable storage medium having computer-executable instructions for programming a processor to perform a method, the method comprising:
receiving from a plurality of client devices a plurality of queries for the identification of media content, each query including a media fingerprint; generating a plurality of query clusters based on comparisons of the media fingerprints of the plurality of queries, each query cluster including queries with one or more matching media fingerprints; for each query cluster, determining from at least a subset of queries in the query cluster textual data associated with the one or more matching media fingerprints; generating content identification information for each query cluster based on the textual data for the subset of queries; and generating a response to each query that includes the content identification information for a corresponding query cluster.
