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 10):
A non-transitory computer readable medium having stored thereon instructions executable by a processing unit to carry out operations comprising:\n comparing (i) query digital fingerprint data representing sequential time segments of media content being rendered by a media presentation device with (ii) reference fingerprint data respectively for each of a plurality of known channels of media content, based on the comparing with respect to a first one or more of the time segments of the media content being rendered by the media presentation device, detecting a multi-match, where the media content rendered by the media presentation device matches multiple ones of the plurality of channels of media content, based on the comparing with respect to a second one or more of the time segments of the media content being rendered by the media presentation device, detecting a single-match, where the media content rendered by the media presentation device matches just a single one of the multiple channels of media content, wherein each of the second time one or more segments is before each of the first one or more time segments, using the detected single-match to disambiguate the detected multi-match, establishing that the single channel of media content is the channel carrying the media content being rendered by the media presentation device, and taking action based on the establishing that the single channel is the channel carrying the media content being rendered by the media presentation device.
