Abstract:
Disclosed herein are methods and systems to help disambiguate channel identification in a scenario where fingerprint data of media content matches multiple reference fingerprints corresponding respectively with multiple different channels. Upon detecting such a multi-match, a server or other entity will perform disambiguation based on a determination that a segment of the fingerprint data matches a reference fingerprint corresponding with just a single channel, such as a reference fingerprint representing commercial or news programming content specific to just the single channel. The server or other entity will thereby determine the channel on which the media content being rendered by the media presentation device is arriving, so as to facilitate taking channel-specific action.

Claim (Index 15):
A system comprising:\n a network communication interface; a processing unit; non-transitory data storage; and program instructions stored in the non-transitory data storage and executable by the processing unit to carry out operations including: determining that first digital fingerprint data representing first one or more segments of media content being rendered by a media presentation device matches multiple reference fingerprints each corresponding with a different respective channel; after determining that the first digital fingerprint data matches the multiple reference fingerprints each corresponding with a different respective channel, performing disambiguation based at least in part on an earlier determination that a second digital fingerprint data representing second one or more segments of the media content being rendered by the media presentation device matches a reference fingerprint corresponding with just a single channel, the disambiguation establishing that the single channel carries the media content being rendered by the media presentation device; and taking action based on the establishing that the single channel carries the media content being rendered by the media presentation device.
