Synchronizing ancillary data to content including audio
First Claim
Patent Images
1. A machine or group of machines for synchronizing ancillary data to content including audio, comprising:
- a pre-synchronizer configured to obtain the ancillary data and a representation of the content'"'"'s audio and to peg the ancillary data to instants in the representation of the content'"'"'s audio corresponding to instants in the content such that subsequent alignment of the representation of the content'"'"'s audio to the content'"'"'s audio synchronizes the ancillary data, pegged to the instants in the representation of the content'"'"'s audio, to the content; and
a transceiver configured to communicate the representation of the content'"'"'s audio and the ancillary data pegged to the instants in the representation of the content'"'"'s audio to a storage location,wherein the representation of the content'"'"'s audio is an audio waveform signature of the content'"'"'s audio.

Abstract
Synchronizing ancillary data to content including audio includes obtaining a representation of the content'"'"'s audio and ancillary data pegged to instants in the representation of the content'"'"'s audio, and aligning the representation of the content'"'"'s audio to the content'"'"'s audio to synchronize the ancillary data pegged to the instants in the representation of the content'"'"'s audio to the content.

13. A machine or group of machines for synchronizing ancillary data to content including audio, comprising:
-
a transceiver configured to obtain the content, a representation of the content'"'"'s audio that is an audio waveform signature of the content'"'"'s audio and ancillary data pegged to instants in the representation of the content'"'"'s audio corresponding to instants in the content; and a post-synchronizer configured to align the representation of the content'"'"'s audio to the content'"'"'s audio thereby synchronizing the ancillary data pegged to the instants in the representation of the content'"'"'s audio to the content. - View Dependent Claims (14, 15, 16, 17, 18, 19, 20, 21, 22, 23)

24. A machine or group of machines for synchronizing ancillary data to content including audio, comprising:
-
a database configured to store a representation of the content'"'"'s audio that is an audio waveform signature of the content'"'"'s audio and ancillary data pegged to instants in the representation of the content'"'"'s audio such that subsequent alignment of the representation of the content'"'"'s audio to the content'"'"'s audio synchronizes the ancillary data pegged to the instants in the representation of the content'"'"'s audio to the content; and a transceiver configured to communicate the representation of the content'"'"'s audio and the ancillary data pegged to the instants in the representation of the content'"'"'s audio. - View Dependent Claims (25, 26)

27. A method to synchronize ancillary data to content including audio, the method comprising:
-
obtaining a representation of the content'"'"'s audio that is an audio waveform signature of the content'"'"'s audio and ancillary data pegged to instants in the representation of the content'"'"'s audio; and communicating the representation of the content'"'"'s audio and the ancillary data pegged to the instants in the representation of the content'"'"'s audio such that subsequent alignment of the representation of the content'"'"'s audio to the content'"'"'s audio synchronizes the ancillary data pegged to the instants in the representation of the content'"'"'s audio to the content. - View Dependent Claims (28, 29, 30, 31, 32, 33, 34, 35, 36, 37, 38, 39, 40)
