Patent ID: 10074108

Abstract:
A method, apparatus and system annotation of meta-data through a capture infrastructure are disclosed. In one embodiment, a method of a client device includes applying an automatic content recognition algorithm to determine a content identifier of an audio-visual data. The client device then associates the content identifier with an advertisement data based on a semantic correlation between a meta-data of the advertisement provided by a content provider and/or the content identifier. A capture infrastructure annotates the audio-visual data with a brand name and/or a product name by comparing entries in the master database with a closed captioning data of the audio-visual data and/or through an application of an optical character recognition algorithm in the audio-visual data. The content identifier may involve a music identification, an object identification, a facial identification, and/or a voice identification. A minimal functionality including accessing a tuner and/or a stream decoder that identifies a channel and/or a content may be found in the networked media device. The networked media device may produce an audio fingerprint and/or a video fingerprint that is communicated with the capture infrastructure.
