Abstract
A computer-implemented method of automatically adding an identifier related to a content item to a communication in a multi-user communication network such as a social network. The method comprising obtaining a robust fingerprint of the content item, retrieving the identifier from a database using the robust fingerprint, and adding the identifier formatted in a format suitable for the multi-user communication network to the communication. Preferably the robust fingerprint relates to a particular timepoint in the content item and the identifier relates to an aspect of the content item at the particular timepoint. Also a system and computer program product.
Claims18
A computer-implemented method of automatically adding an identifier related to a content item being at least one of audio and video comprising user perceptual features to a communication in a multi-user communication network, the content item having plural associated robust fingerprints, a robust fingerprint being a unique code for a portion of the content item, the method comprising:
- generating the communication upon a single user action;
- automatically obtaining, during the communication, robust fingerprints associated with the content item;
- retrieving an identifier from a database using an obtained robust fingerprint, and
- adding the identifier formatted in a format suitable for the multi-user communication network in a message of the communication.
A computer controlled multi-user communication device configured for automatically adding an identifier related to a content item being at least one of audio and video comprising user perceptual features to a communication in a multi-user communication network, the content item having plural associated robust fingerprints, a robust fingerprint being a unique code for a portion of the content item, the multi-user communication device being arranged for generating the communication upon a single user action and for operating:
- a robust fingerprinting module configured to obtain automatically, during the communication, robust fingerprints associated with the content item,
- a look-up module configured to retrieve an identifier from a database using an obtained-robust fingerprint, and
- a social media communication module configured for adding the identifier formatted in a format suitable for the multi-user communication network in a message of the communication.
