AUDIO FINGERPRINTING TO BOOKMARK A LOCATION WITHIN A VIDEO
First Claim
1. A method for identifying video segments for subsequent playback comprising:
- a) retrieving audio from an audio-visual presentation playing on a primary screen device using a secondary screen device;
b) generating at least one audio fingerprint from the retrieved audio;
c) sending the at least one audio fingerprint to an audio fingerprint server;
d) obtaining from the audio fingerprint server information identifying the audio-visual presentation and a relative time within the audio-visual presentation corresponding to the at least one audio fingerprint, said obtained information usable for subsequently retrieving said audio video presentation from a video content server.

Abstract
A method and system for identifying video segments for subsequent playback. Audio from an audio-visual presentation playing on a primary screen device is retrieved using a secondary screen device. At least one audio fingerprint is generated from the retrieved audio. The at least one audio fingerprint is sent to an audio fingerprint server. The audio fingerprint server obtains information identifying the audio-visual presentation and a relative time within the audio-visual presentation corresponding to the at least one audio fingerprint. The obtained information is used for subsequently retrieving the audio video presentation from a video content server.

12. A method for identifying video segments in for subsequent playback comprising:
-
a) receiving an audio fingerprint from a secondary screen device; b) comparing the received audio fingerprint with pre-existing audio fingerprints for a match; c) upon determining said match, determining an identity of an audio-visual presentation corresponding to said match and a relative time within said audio-visual presentation corresponding to said match; d) sending said identity and relative time to said secondary screen device. - View Dependent Claims (13)

14. A system for identifying video segments for subsequent playback comprising:
-
a) an audio fingerprint server configured to; 1) receive at least one audio fingerprint from a secondary screen device; 2) compare the at least one received audio fingerprint with pre-existing audio fingerprints for a match; 3) upon determining said match, determine an identify of an audio-visual presentation corresponding, to said match and a relative time within said audio-visual presentation corresponding to said match; 4) send said identity and relative time to at least one of said secondary screen device and a predetermined address designated by a user of said secondary device; b) an account database server accessible by said audio fingerprint server configured to store user information corresponding to the user of said secondary device. - View Dependent Claims (15)

16. A method for identifying video segments for subsequent playback comprising:
-
a) sending a signal to a set top box which is tuned to a particular audio-visual presentation; b) obtaining from the set top box information identifying the audio-visual presentation and a relative time within the audio-visual presentation corresponding to the time the signal was sent to the set top box, said obtained information usable for subsequently retrieving said audio video presentation from a video content server.
