US 2013/0085825 A1 · METHOD AND SYSTEM FOR DETERMINING CONTENT TREATMENT

Abstract

Content uploaded to a video distribution service is analyzed to determine if a portion matches part of any reference work. If a match is found, treatment of the uploaded content is determined based on stored rule data, and based on one or more factors. These factors can include, e.g., the length of the matching portion, the part of the reference work from which the matching portion was apparently copied, the confidence of the match, the popularity of the uploaded content (or of the reference work), the geography from which the content was uploaded (or the geography to which it is to be downloaded), etc. Further determinations may be made by human evaluators (including crowd-source approaches). A great variety of other features and arrangements are also detailed.

Dependent claims

A computer-implemented method involving visual or audio entertainment content uploaded to a first party's video service for distribution from said service to content viewers, the method being executed by one or more computer systems and comprising:

analyzing fingerprint data corresponding to the uploaded content, and fingerprint data corresponding to reference content, to identify a portion of the uploaded content that apparently was derived from a work of reference content;
identifying stored rule data that should govern treatment of the uploaded content, from among plural sets of stored rule data, said identifying being based on said reference work, or based on a proprietor of said reference work;
determining plural factors including:
(a) a length of said portion of the uploaded content that apparently was derived from the reference work, and (b) from what part of the reference work was said portion of the uploaded content apparently derived;
and
determining an action to take concerning the uploaded content, based on one or more of said plural factors and also based on the identified stored rule data;
wherein the determined action comprises an action selected from the list:
(i) notifying a proprietor of the reference work about the uploaded content, (ii) preventing the uploaded content from being distributed from the video service to content viewers, and (iii) sharing—with a proprietor of the reference work—revenue generated from advertising presented to content viewers in connection with the uploaded content.

5 more elements

A computer-implemented method involving visual or audio entertainment content uploaded to a first party's video service for distribution from said service to content viewers, the uploaded content including a portion apparently derived from a reference work, the method being executed by one or more computer systems and comprising:

selecting a set of stored rule data, from among plural sets of stored rule data, that should govern treatment of the uploaded content, said selecting being based on the reference work from which a portion of the uploaded content apparently was derived, or based on a proprietor of said reference work;
determining an action to take concerning the uploaded content, based on the selected set of stored rule data, and also based on one or more input factor data, wherein said input factor data comprises factor data selected from a list consisting of:
(a) a time length of said derived portion, (b) a fraction of the reference work that corresponds to said derived portion, and (c) a part of the reference work from which said portion apparently was derived;
and
taking said determined action.

2 more elements

analyzing fingerprint data corresponding to the uploaded content, and fingerprint data corresponding to reference content, to identify a portion of the uploaded content that apparently was derived from a work of reference content;
selecting stored rule data that should govern treatment of the uploaded content, from among plural sets of stored rule data, said selecting being based on said reference work or based on a proprietor of said reference work;
determining plural factors including (a) a length of said portion of the uploaded content that apparently was derived from the reference work, (b) from what part of the reference work was said portion of the uploaded content apparently derived, and (c) a confidence score indicating confidence that said portion of the uploaded content was derived from said reference work;
determining an action to take concerning the uploaded content, based on two or more of said plural factors, and also based on the selected stored rule data;
wherein the determined action comprises:
identifying the uploaded content and the reference work to a second party;
collecting human assessment data from said second party, the assessment data indicating a result of a comparison of at least a portion of the uploaded content with at least a portion of the reference work by one or more human reviewer(s);
and
determining a further action to take concerning the uploaded content based at least in part on said collected human assessment data.
