Method and system for automatic content recognition network operations
First Claim
1. A method, comprising:
- in a network fingerprint manager that is within an automatic content recognition (ACR) system, wherein the ACR system is operable to assign same interactive event identifiers to different sets of video and/or audio fingerprints that are generated from same content utilizing different fingerprint technologies by timing the assignment of the interactive event identifiers to the different sets of the video and/or audio fingerprints that are generated from the same content but with the different fingerprinting technologies;
receiving one or more versions of media content associated with a network;
generating one or more proxy content corresponding to each of said received one or more versions of said media content;
generating a set of fingerprints from a particular one of said generated one or more proxy content for each of said received one or more versions of said media content, wherein said particular one of said generated one or more proxy content comprises proxy content with highest quality among said generated one or more proxy content; and
storing said set of fingerprints and corresponding content ID and media time for said corresponding each of said received one or more versions of said media content.

Abstract
A network fingerprint manager within an automatic content recognition (ACR) system may be operable to receive one or more versions of media content associated with a network. One or more proxy content may be generated by the network fingerprint manager for each version of the received media content. The network fingerprint manager may generate a set of fingerprints from a particular one of the generated one or more proxy content for each version of the received media content. The particular one being fingerprinted may comprise proxy content with highest quality among the generated proxy content. The set of fingerprints and corresponding content ID and media time for each version of the received media content may be stored. The network fingerprint manager may generate real-time fingerprints from content in a received network feed. The network fingerprint manager may compare the generated real-time fingerprints to the stored sets of fingerprints for matching.

11. A system, comprising:
a network fingerprint manager that is operational within an automatic content recognition (ACR) system, wherein the ACR system is operable to assign same interactive event identifiers to different sets of video and/or audio fingerprints that are generated from same content utilizing different fingerprint technologies by timing the assignment of the interactive event identifiers to the different sets of the video and/or audio fingerprints that are generated from the same content but with the different fingerprinting technologies, said network fingerprint manager being comprising one or more processors and/or circuits that are operable to; receive one or more versions of media content associated with a network; generate one or more proxy content corresponding to each of said received one or more versions of said media content; generate a set of fingerprints from a particular one of said generated one or more proxy content for each of said received one or more versions of said media content, wherein said particular one of said generated one or more proxy content comprises proxy content with highest quality among said generated one or more proxy content; and store said set of fingerprints and corresponding content ID and media time for said corresponding each of said received one or more versions of said media content. - View Dependent Claims (12, 13, 14, 15, 16, 17, 18, 19, 20)
