1. A method comprising:
- aggregating first fingerprint data and second fingerprint data;
identifying information associated with the first fingerprint data and the second fingerprint data; and
determining a subset of the associated information based at least in part on a frequency occurrence of the subset.

Abstract
Fingerprint data derived from audio or other content is used as an identifier. The fingerprint data can be derived from the content. In one embodiment, fingerprint data supplied from two or more sources is aggregated. The aggregated fingerprint data is used to define a set of audio signals. An audio signal from the set of audio signals is selected based on its probability of matching the fingerprint data. Digital watermarks can also be similarly used to define a set of audio signals.

7. A method to match a song based on an audio fingerprint, said method comprising:
-
aggregating a first set of audio fingerprints with a second set of audio fingerprints;
determining a plurality of songs relating to the aggregated fingerprints; and
selecting a song from the plurality of songs based on a number of times a selected song matches the aggregated fingerprints. - View Dependent Claims (8)

9. A method comprising the steps of:
-
receiving a signal from a first broadcast source at a reference receiver;
generating first fingerprint data from the received signal;
applying the first fingerprint data to a database to select associated information;
receiving second fingerprint data; and
comparing the second fingerprint data with the associated information. - View Dependent Claims (10, 11, 12, 13, 14, 15, 16, 17, 18, 19)

20. A method comprising the steps of:
-
receiving a signal from a first broadcast source at a reference receiver, the signal comprising an embedded digital watermark;
decoding the digital watermark to obtain a unique identifier;
interrogating a database with the unique identifier to identify a set of fingerprints associated with the received signal;
receiving second fingerprint data; and
comparing the second fingerprint data with the set of fingerprints. - View Dependent Claims (21)
