Augmenting metadata using user entered metadata
First Claim
1. A method of obtaining metadata associated with a media program, the method comprising:
- receiving, by a computing device, user entered metadata from a first user for an object in a frame of the media program;
comparing, by the computing device, the user entered metadata from the first user with user entered metadata from second users for the object;
verifying, by the computing device, that the user entered metadata from the first user and the second users should be associated as augmenting metadata for the object in the media program based on the comparison; and
upon verifying, performing;
determining, by the computing device, metadata storage including metadata for one or more other objects in the media program; and
storing, by the computing device, the user entered metadata for the object in the media program in the metadata storage for the media program as the augmenting metadata.

Abstract
In one embodiment, a method obtains metadata associated with a media program. The method receives user entered metadata from a first user for an object in a frame of the media program and compares the user entered metadata from the first user with user entered metadata from second users for the object. Then, the method verifies that the user entered metadata from the first user and the second users should be associated as augmenting metadata for the object in the media program based on the comparison. Upon verifying, the method performs: determining metadata storage including metadata for one or more other objects in the media program and storing the user entered metadata for the object in the media program in the metadata storage for the media program as the augmenting metadata.

13. A non-transitory computer-readable storage medium containing instructions for obtaining metadata associated with a media program, wherein the instructions, when executed, control a computer system to be configured for:
-
receiving user entered metadata from a first user for an object in a frame of the media program; comparing the user entered metadata from the first user with user entered metadata from second users for the object; verifying that the user entered metadata from the first user and the second users should be associated as augmenting metadata for the object in the media program based on the comparison; and upon verifying, performing; determining metadata storage including metadata for one or more other objects in the media program; and storing the user entered metadata for the object in the media program in the metadata storage for the media program as the augmenting metadata. - View Dependent Claims (14, 15, 16, 17, 18, 19)

20. An apparatus comprising:
-
one or more computer processors; and a non-transitory computer-readable storage medium comprising instructions, that when executed, control the one or more computer processors to be configured for; receiving user entered metadata from a first user for an object in a frame of the media program; comparing the user entered metadata from the first user with user entered metadata from second users for the object; verifying that the user entered metadata from the first user and the second users should be associated as augmenting metadata for the object in the media program based on the comparison; and upon verifying, performing; determining metadata storage including metadata for one or more other objects in the media program; and storing the user entered metadata for the object in the media program in the metadata storage for the media program as the augmenting metadata.
