Abstract:
An end user can sample a radio or television broadcast, generate a user representation of the broadcast sample, and send the user representation to a comparison system, which also receives known representations of content broadcast by multiple different stations. The known representations are stored in a continuous fashion, and represent actually broadcast content. The comparison system identifies the source of the broadcast sample by comparing the user representation to the known representations associated with each of the different stations using a bit count method, such as the Hamming distance. By comparing two representations of content that was actually broadcast, a broadcast source can be identified without requiring the use of watermarks, timestamps, or a database of discreet content items.

Claim (Index 1):
A method comprising:\n receiving, at a station identification server, an unmatched fingerprint generated from first media content received at an end-user device, the unmatched fingerprint associated with an unknown source; performing a first comparison, the first comparison attempting to match a first portion of the unmatched fingerprint to a plurality of continuous fingerprints associated with a plurality of different known sources; based at least in part on the first comparison, storing first match information indicating that the first portion of the unmatched fingerprint matches a first portion of at least one continuous fingerprint; performing a second comparison, the second comparison attempting to match a second portion of the unmatched fingerprint to the plurality of continuous fingerprints; based at least in part on the second comparison, storing second match information indicating that the second portion of the unmatched fingerprint matches a second portion of the at least one continuous fingerprint; linking the second match information to the first match information to generate linked match information; and determining an identity of the unknown source based on the linked match information.
