Abstract:
Unknown potential commercials are detected in a video data stream that contains segments of program type content, and blocks of commercial content. Each block includes a plurality of successive individual commercials. A library of known commercials is maintained in a first database. A video data stream is received in a video processing engine which includes a search engine that is in communication with the first database. The search engine identifies all known commercials in the video data stream and their respective start and end times. The video processing engine identifies all time segments that are sandwiched between the known commercials. The video processing engine filters out as a potential commercial any identified time segments that are significantly longer than the time length of a commercial. The video processing engine designates content of each of the time segments that were not filtered out as being one or more unknown potential commercials.

Claim (Index 1):
A method of detecting unknown potential commercials in a video data stream that contains (i) segments of program type content, and (ii) blocks of commercial content, each block including a plurality of successive individual commercials, wherein a library of known commercials is maintained in a first database, the method comprising:\n (a) receiving a video data stream in a video processing engine; (b) identifying, by a search engine that is in communication with the video processing engine and the first database, all known commercials in the video data stream and their respective start and end times; (c) identifying, by the video processing engine, all time segments that are sandwiched between the known commercials; (d) filtering out, by the video processing engine, as a potential commercial any time segments identified in step (c) that are significantly longer than the time length of a commercial; and (e) designating, by the video processing engine, content of each of the time segments that were not filtered out in step (d) as being one or more unknown potential commercials.
