Abstract: To restore context information about a clip that was sampled from a broadcast program, the clip is identified by matching a digital fingerprint of the clip against a database of known digital fingerprints taken from broadcast programs. If the clip can be identified, it is then associated with information about the matching broadcast program. The loss of context data about the clip obtained from a broadcast program is thus remedied, enabling media content available online to be more useable for a variety of purposes, such as media searching, automatic broadcast attribution, and targeting advertisements.

Abstract translation: 为了恢复关于从广播节目采样的剪辑的上下文信息，通过将剪辑的数字指纹与从广播节目获取的已知数字指纹的数据库进行匹配来标识剪辑。 如果可以识别剪辑，则将其与关于匹配的广播节目的信息相关联。 因此，从广播节目获得的剪辑的上下文数据的丢失因此被补救，使得在线可用的媒体内容可以用于各种目的，例如媒体搜索，自动广播归属和定向广告。

Abstract: A characteristic thumbprint is extracted from a data signal, the thumbprint based on statistics relating to the data signal. The data signal can be compared indirectly by matching this thumbprint against one or more reference thumbprints. The data signal may be any type of signal, including streaming digitized audio or obtained from static files. A database may contain a number of these characteristic thumbprints, and the database can be searched for a particular thumbprint.

Abstract translation: 从数据信号提取特征指纹，基于与数据信号有关的统计量的指纹。 可以通过将该指纹与一个或多个参考指纹匹配来间接地比较数据信号。 数据信号可以是任何类型的信号，包括流式数字化音频或从静态文件获得。 数据库可以包含许多这些特征指纹，并且可以搜索数据库以获得特定的指纹。

Abstract: A media identification system generates reference fingerprints for known media samples and stores the reference fingerprints in a reference database. The media identification system uses the reference fingerprints to match a fingerprint generated from an unknown media sample to identify that unknown sample. When storing new reference fingerprints in the reference database, partitions of the database are selected to balance the search loads on the database when it is used by the media identification system. For example, the selected partitions may be determined based at least in part on the access rates of the partitions by the media identification system. New reference fingerprints will tend to be placed in partitions that have relatively lower access rates that the other partitions, which will tend to balance the search loads on the partitions by the media identification system.
