Integrating and Enhancing Searching of Media Content and Biometric Databases
First Claim
Patent Images
1. A method for searching for metadata relating to media content, the method comprising:
- from a first computing device, receiving a content signal;
transforming the content signal into two or more different hash formats, the two or more different hash formats corresponding to different databases, the databases storing hashes of content signals and corresponding identifying information;
using the two or more different hash formats to determining identifying information from the corresponding databases; and
based on the identifying information, retrieving metadata for the content signal.

Abstract
Metadata for a content signal is searched by transforming the content signal into different hash formats, each being used to retrieve identifying information from corresponding databases. The identifying information enables retrieval of metadata from metadata databases. These systems and methods enable devices to access a wide array of dynamic metadata from disparate sources through queries that are derived from intrinsic content attributes.
