1. :
- A system to compare at least one unknown audiovisual work to known audiovisual works, which system is comprised of the following components;
a communication manager;
at least one computer processor;
a first system memory comprising database entries associated with known audiovisual works; and
a second system memory further comprising instructions which, when executed;
receive at least one URI, which at least one URI references at least one file, which at least one file contains the at least one unknown audiovisual work;
parse some or all of the at least one URI into at least one substring;
compare at least one of the at least one substring to entries associated with known audiovisual works in the database;
obtain at least one result from the comparison;
transmit the at least one result to at least one party.

Abstract
The filename for an unknown work, corresponding file contents, and information associated with the filename are parsed and analyzed and compared to information relating to one or more known works, which known works comprise at least broadcast television shows and other audio visual works. Information regarding the known works may be presented to at least one user, confirmation may be obtained, and alternative sources may be presented, from which alternative sources the known works may be obtained.

- A method in a computer system for identifying at least one unknown audiovisual work comprising the following steps, not necessarily in the following order;
a) receiving at least one URI which references at least one file, which at least one file contains the at least one unknown audiovisual work; b) parsing the at least one URI into at least one substring; c) labeling at least one of the at least one substring according to rules derived from axioms, which axioms are related to the syntactic and semantic content of URIs; d) obtaining technical information regarding the at least one file referenced by the at least one URI, where the technical information is selected from a group comprising; file type, file size, encoding and/or compression algorithm(s) employed in coding and/or decoding the file, compression ratio, and/or sample rate of either or both of the audio or visual components of the unknown audiovisual work, and/or the closed captioning text contained in and/or associated with the file; e) obtaining external but related information regarding the file referenced by the at least one URI, where the external but related information is selected from a group comprising; the IP address to which the at least one URI resolves; text associated with the at least one URI, where such text is one or more information types selected from a group comprising; the display text associated with the at least one URI, text found on a source page referenced by and/or associated with the at least one URI, text found in a domain name contained in the at least one URI, text found in a WHOIS record associated with a domain name contained in the at least one URI, f) comparing the URI and/or the at least one substring and/or the at least one labeled substring and/or the technical information and/or the external but related information to at least one of the following; records in a database comprising information regarding known audiovisual works, records in a database comprising information regarding file types, and obtaining at least one matching result between the unknown audiovisual work and at least one known audiovisual work; g) presenting at least one result from the comparison to at least one party. - View Dependent Claims (10, 11, 12, 13, 14, 15, 16, 17, 18)
