Interactive Video Distribution Systems > Use Surveying Or Monitoring (e.g., Program Or Channel Watched) > By Passively Monitoring Receiver Operation > By Use Of Audio Signal By Use Of Audio SignalBy Use Of Audio Signal patent applications listed are from June 2005 to current and include Date, Patent Application Number, Patent Title, Patent Abstract summary and are linked to the corresponding patent application page.07/12/07 - 20070162924 - Task specific audio classification for identifying video highlights A method classifies segments of a video using an audio signal of the video and a set of classes. Selected classes of the set are combined as a subset of important classes, the subset of important classes being important for a specific highlighting task, the remaining classes of the set ... 06/21/07 - 20070143777 - Method and apparatus for identificaton of broadcast source A user (102) hears an audio program being broadcast and can record a sample of the audio. The sample is then conveyed to an analyzing means (106) to determine to which broadcast station the user is listening. The analyzing means monitors many broadcast channels. Thus, characteristics of the audio sample ... 06/07/07 - 20070130580 - Social and interactive applications for mass media Systems, methods, apparatuses, user interfaces and computer program products provide social and interactive applications for mass media based on real-time ambient-audio and/or video identification. ... 05/31/07 - 20070124757 - Method and apparatus for monitoring audio listening A method and apparatus receive, detect, collect and analyze program-identifying (“PI”) information contained in a plurality of broadcast or recorded electronic audio signals. Each audio signal represents the sounds (audio portion) in a plurality of sequential program segments, such as program material or commercials. The method comprises the steps of ... 05/31/07 - 20070124756 - Detecting repeating content in broadcast media Systems, methods, devices, and computer program products provide social and interactive applications for detecting repeating content in broadcast media. In some implementations, a method includes: generating a database of audio statistics from content; generating a query from the database of audio statistics; running the query against the database of audio ... 05/03/07 - 20070101355 - Device, method, and medium for expressing content dynamically A device, method, and medium for expressing content dynamically are provided. The device for expressing content dynamically includes: a background-music-analyzing module for analyzing background music; an image-unit-group-adjusting module for adjusting attributes of a plurality of image unit groups including at least one content element and image effect element included in ... 04/05/07 - 20070079321 - Picture tagging A system and method for tagging discrete locations and/or sections within a pre-existing media file with images without modifying the media file are disclosed. The system includes a rendering device that receives user tag selections and creates information that can be used when rendering the media file in the future. ... 03/15/07 - 20070061833 - Audio based methods and apparatus for fetecting a channel change event Methods and apparatus for detecting a channel change event are disclosed. The disclosed methods and apparatus detect a channel change event by monitoring an audio signal of an information presentation device such as a television system. The monitored audio signal is tested for certain characteristics indicative of a channel change ... 04/06/06 - 20060075422 - Apparatus and method performing audio-video sensor fusion for object localization, tracking, and separation An apparatus for tracking and identifying objects includes an audio likelihood module which determines corresponding audio likelihoods for each of a plurality of sounds received from corresponding different directions, each audio likelihood indicating a likelihood a sound is an object to be tracked; a video likelihood module which receives a ... 06/16/05 - 20050132397 - Method for graphically displaying audio frequency component in digital broadcast receiver A method for graphically displaying an audio frequency component in a digital broadcast receiver. The method for graphically displaying the audio frequency component in the digital broadcast receiver includes the steps of: extracting a plurality of frequency-band components associated with an audio stream during a decoding process of the audio ... 06/09/05 - 20050125820 - Television proximity sensor Systems and methods for determining whether a television is on and in near proximity are provided. An example system includes a sensor, an analog-to-digital converter, and a digital signal processor. The digital signal processor processes a set of digital audio samples detected by the sensor to determine if the sensor ... ### FreshPatents.com Support |
