Abstract:
Methods and apparatus to detect commercial advertisements associated with media presentations are disclosed. An example apparatus to detect a commercial transition associated with a media presentation include means for comparing an amount of audio randomness in an inter-segment audio frame to a random level threshold, where the amount of audio randomness is based on a random-factor ratio. The example apparatus further includes means for indicating, in response to the amount of audio randomness satisfying the random level threshold, the inter-segment audio frame as occurring at the commercial transition.

Claim (Index 7):
An apparatus to detect a commercial transition associated with a media presentation, the apparatus comprising;\n means for detecting a change in box-formatting between a first video frame and a subsequent video frame by detecting edges between a primary display area and screen filler areas of the box-formatting to detect an appearance or disappearance of the screen filler areas, the screen filler areas comprising motion images in at least two of a left portion, a right portion, a top portion or a bottom portion of the box-formatting of the first video frame or the subsequent video frame; and means for determining that the commercial transition is a transition between the first video frame and the subsequent video frame based on the detected change in box-formatting.
