APPARATUS, COMPUTER-READABLE MEDIUM, AND METHOD FOR CHANNEL CHANGE DETECTION-BASED SHORT CONTENT IDENTIFICATION - A simplified explanation of the abstract
This abstract first appeared for US patent application 18443212 titled 'APPARATUS, COMPUTER-READABLE MEDIUM, AND METHOD FOR CHANNEL CHANGE DETECTION-BASED SHORT CONTENT IDENTIFICATION
The patent application describes a method to improve short content identification in an audio stream by detecting channel changes and realigning audio blocks.
- Detects channel changes in audio blocks
- Determines time offset for channel change occurrence
- Creates new audio block aligned to start at the offset time
- Includes single channel of audio stream data in the new audio block
Potential Applications: - Audio content identification systems - Audio streaming services - Broadcast monitoring systems
Problems Solved: - Improves accuracy of short content identification - Enhances audio stream processing efficiency
Benefits: - More precise identification of short content in audio streams - Streamlined audio processing workflows
Commercial Applications: Title: Enhanced Audio Content Identification System This technology can be utilized in audio content identification systems for improved accuracy and efficiency. It can also benefit audio streaming services and broadcast monitoring systems by enhancing their capabilities in identifying short content within audio streams.
Questions about the technology: 1. How does this method improve the accuracy of short content identification in audio streams? - This method detects channel changes and realigns audio blocks to ensure precise identification of short content. 2. What are the potential applications of this technology beyond audio content identification systems? - This technology can also be applied in audio streaming services and broadcast monitoring systems to enhance their capabilities in processing audio streams.
Original Abstract Submitted
Methods, apparatus, systems, and articles of manufacture are disclosed that improve short content identification in an audio stream through channel change detection and audio block realignment. Example instructions cause one or more processors to form a first audio block from an audio stream, detect whether the first audio block contains a channel change, the first audio block being one of a plurality of audio blocks the accessed audio, determine an offset of time from a beginning of the first audio block to when the channel change occurs in response to the channel change being detected in the first audio block, and create a new audio block aligned to start at the offset of time beyond the beginning of the first audio block using audio information from the audio stream, the new audio block to include a single channel of audio stream data.
