Patent ID: 7574655

Claim:
A system for generating a representative sample of a media object, comprising: a responder device having a processor, the responder device including: an access interface to access a set of media objects, each of the set of media objects comprising media object data and a set of media object properties, wherein the set of media objects comprises at least one audio media object; and a sample engine, the sample engine communicating with the access interface to access the set of media objects and generate an audio representative sample for at least one of the at least one audio media object, the audio representative sample being encapsulated in the set of media object properties for that object, wherein the representative sample comprises one or more representative sample properties characterizing the representative sample that are compared with one or more representative sample property parameters associated with a device that define one or more numerical values for which the one or more representative sample properties are valid to determine if the at least one audio media object is valid.
