System and method for taking action with respect to an electronic media work
First Claim
1. A method comprising:
- receiving, at a computer system comprising one or more computers, from a first electronic device, a first electronic media work;
extracting, using the computer system, one or more features of the first electronic media work;
determining, at the computer system, that at least a portion of the first electronic media work corresponds to a first reference media work based on a matching of the extracted one or more features of the first electronic media work against a database of reference features extracted from a plurality of reference electronic media works including the first reference media work, using a sub-linear search of the database of reference features that identifies a match within a threshold of at least one of the reference features to the extracted one or more features of the first electronic media work but does not guarantee to identify the closest match to the extracted one or more features, wherein the database of reference features is organized using a clustering technique to eliminate a subset of the reference features to be searched by performing a comparison of cluster features;
receiving, at the computer system from a second electronic device, a query related to the first electronic media work;
linking, by the computer system, the query to action information in an action database based upon the determining that at least a portion of the first electronic media work corresponds to the first reference media work, wherein the action information comprises information related to a URL and is related to an action to be performed at the second electronic device;
generating, by the computer system, machine-readable instructions associated with the action to be performed based at least in part on the linking of the query to the action information;
transmitting, by the computer system to the second electronic device, the machine-readable instructions to be executed by the second electronic device; and
logging, by the computer system, an event associated with the machine-readable instructions.

Abstract
Methods and systems to perform methods comprising receiving, at a computer system from a first electronic device a first electronic media work; extracting one or more features therefrom; determining that at least a portion of the first electronic media work corresponds to a first reference media work based on a matching of the extracted features against a database of reference features; receiving, from a second electronic device, a query related to the first electronic media work; linking the query to action information in an action database based upon determining that at least a portion of the first electronic media work corresponds to the first reference media work; generating machine-readable instructions associated with the action to be performed based at least in part on the linking of the query to the action information; transmitting, to the second electronic device, the machine-readable instructions; and logging an event associated with the machine-readable instructions.

10. A computer system of one or more computers comprising:
-
one or more processors; and one or more computer-readable media operatively connected to the one or more processors and having stored thereon instructions for carrying out the steps of; receiving, at the computer system from a first electronic device, a first electronic media work; extracting, using the computer system, one or more features of the first electronic media work; determining, at the computer system, that at least a portion of the first electronic media work corresponds to a first reference media work based on a matching of the extracted one or more features of the first electronic media work against a database of reference features extracted from a plurality of reference electronic media works including the first reference media work, using a sub-linear search of the database of reference features that identifies a match within a threshold of at least one of the reference features to the extracted one or more features of the first electronic media work but does not guarantee to identify the closest match to the extracted one or more features, wherein the database of reference features is organized using a clustering technique to eliminate a subset of the reference features to be searched by performing a comparison of cluster features; receiving, at the computer system from a second electronic device, a query related to the first electronic media work; linking, by the computer system, the query to action information in an action database based upon the determining that at least a portion of the first electronic media work corresponds to the first reference media work, wherein the action information comprises information related to a URL and is related to an action to be performed at the second electronic device; generating, by the computer system, machine-readable instructions associated with the action to be performed based at least in part on the linking of the query to the action information; transmitting, by the computer system to the second electronic device, the machine-readable instructions to be executed by the second electronic device; and logging, by the computer system, an event associated with the machine-readable instructions. - View Dependent Claims (11, 12, 13, 14, 15, 16, 17, 18)
