SYSTEMS AND METHODS FOR TRANSMITTING CONTENT METADATA FROM MULTIPLE DATA RECORDS
First Claim
Patent Images
1. A method of providing metadata to a client device based on inconsistent data records, comprising:
- storing, with a processing device in a memory device of, first and second data records representative of a content element, the first data record including a first metadata field with a first value for a first attribute of the content element, the second data record including a second metadata field with a second value for the first attribute of the content element, and the data records being inconsistent in that the first value is different from the second value;
storing, with the processing device in the memory device, a confidence score for the first metadata field and a confidence score for the second metadata field;
receiving, at the processing device, a request from a client device for metadata descriptive of the common content element;
identifying, with the processing device, which of the first and second metadata fields has the greater confidence score; and
transmitting, from the processing device over a computer network to the client device for display, the value of the identified metadata field.

Abstract
Systems and methods are provided for cataloging content metadata from a variety of sources and providing metadata to client devices. A processing device receives inconsistent data records representative of a common content element, with different values for a metadata field descriptive of a common attribute of the content element. The processor assign confidence scores metadata fields from each data record, and use these confidence scores to select the metadata that is transmitted to the client device.

11. A system for providing metadata to a client device based on inconsistent data records, comprising:
-
an input device; a storage device; an output device configured to transmit data to the client device over a computer network; and a processing device in communication with the input device, the storage device, and the output device and configured to; store, in the storage device, first and second data records representative of a content element, the first data record including a first metadata field with a first value for a first attribute of the content element, the second data record including a second metadata field with a second value for the first attribute of the content element, and the data records being inconsistent in that the first value is different from the second value; store, in the memory device, a confidence score for the first metadata field and a confidence score for the second metadata field; receive, via the input device, a request from a client device for metadata descriptive of the common content element; identifying which of the first and second metadata fields has the greater confidence score; and transmit, via the output device to the client device for display, the value of the identified metadata field. - View Dependent Claims (12, 13, 14, 15, 16, 17, 18, 19, 20)

21. A system for providing metadata to a client device based on inconsistent data records, comprising:
-
means for storing first and second data records representative of a content element, the first data record including a first metadata field with a first value for a first attribute of the content element, the second data record including a second metadata field with a second value for the first attribute of the content element, and the data records being inconsistent in that the first value is different from the second value; means for storing a confidence score for the first metadata field and a confidence score for the second metadata field; means for receiving a request from a client device for metadata descriptive of the common content element; means for identifying which of the first and second metadata fields has the greater confidence score; and means for transmitting, over a computer network to the client device for display, the value of the identified metadata field. - View Dependent Claims (22, 23, 24, 25, 26, 27, 28, 29, 30)
