1. A method, comprising:
- generating a query from a database of audio statistics;
running the query against the database of audio statistics to determine a non-identity match; and
if a non-identity match exists, identifying the content corresponding to the matched query as repeating content.

Abstract
Systems, methods, devices, and computer program products provide social and interactive applications for detecting repeating content in broadcast media. In some implementations, a method includes: generating a database of audio statistics from content; generating a query from the database of audio statistics; running the query against the database of audio statistics to determine a non-identity match; if a non-identity match exists, identifying the content corresponding to the matched query as repeating content.

11. A system, comprising:
-
a processor;
a computer-readable medium operatively coupled to the processor and having instructions stored thereon, which, when executed by the processor, causes the processor to perform the operations of;
generating a query from a database of audio statistics;
running a query against the database of audio statistics to determine a non-identity match, where the audio statistics are generated from content; and
if a non-identity match is found, identifying content corresponding to the matched query as repeating content. - View Dependent Claims (12, 13, 14, 15, 16, 17, 18, 19, 20)

23. A method, comprising:
-
generating a database of ambient audio statistics associated with a media broadcast;
generating a query from the database;
running the query against the database of audio statistics to determine non-identity matches;
identifying repeating content based on positive matches between the query and the database of audio statistics;
determining endpoints of the repeating content;
identifying content before or after the endpoints of the repeating content; and
generating statistics based on the identified content. - View Dependent Claims (24, 25, 26)
