Abstract:
Disclosed are methods and systems involving location-based disambiguation of media channel identification, in a scenario where a fingerprint of media content being rendered by a media presentation device matches multiple reference fingerprints corresponding respectively with multiple different media channels. Upon detecting such a multi-match situation, a server or other entity will use a location of the media presentation device as a basis to disambiguate between the matching reference fingerprints and thus to determine the channel on which the media content being rendered by the media presentation device is arriving.

Claim (Index 15):
A media presentation device comprising:\n a media input interface through which to receive media content to be presented by the media presentation device; a media presentation interface for presenting the received media content; 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 cause the media presentation device to carry out operations including:\n generating a digital fingerprint of the media content based on analysis of the media content, and outputting the generated digital fingerprint for transmission through the network communication interface to a server, \n providing the server with an indication of a location of the media presentation device, wherein providing the server with the indication of the location of the media presentation device enables the server to use the location of the media presentation device as a basis to determine a channel on which the media presentation device is receiving the media content when the server determines that the digital fingerprint matches multiple reference fingerprints each corresponding with a different respective channel, wherein using the location of the media presentation device as a basis to determine the channel on which the media presentation device is receiving the media content includes, based at least in part on a match between the location of the media presentation device and a location associated with a particular one of the multiple reference fingerprints, determining that a respective channel with which the particular reference fingerprint corresponds is the channel on which the media presentation device is receiving the media content, \n receiving, from the server, supplemental media content associated specifically with the channel that the server determined based on the location of the media presentation device, and \n presenting by the media presentation device the received supplemental media content in conjunction with the media content being rendered by the media presentation device.
