Abstract
A method for identifying a stream of images, comprises: a) capturing one or more frames from the media which is to be identified; b) sending the selected image(s) as queries to a server; c) in the server, analyzing the one or more images to identify them from a database that for each movie stored comprises switched significantly different frames; d) if more than one image is processed, aggregating the various server's replies; and e) displaying the results to the user.
Claims3
A method for identifying a stream of images, comprising:
- a) capturing, by a client mobile device, a plurality of frames from a video media which is to be identified;
- b) selecting, by said client device, one or more matchable frames from said captured plurality of frames, wherein identifiable features of each of said one or more matchable frames are significantly different than identifiable features of a previously captured frame;
- c) sending said selected one or more matchable frames as queries from said client device to a matching server comprising a database in which are stored one or more abridged movies, wherein all two sequentially adjacent frames in each of said stored one or more abridged movies are significantly different from one another;
- d) at the matching server, comparing said selected one or more matchable frames with all frames stored in said database to output a result to said client device which is indicative of a matched frame;
- e) if more than one frame is outputted, aggregating the matching server's various results;
- and
- f) displaying the outputted results to said client device, whereby to identify said captured frames.
A system for identifying a stream of images, comprising:
- a) one or more servers associated with storage comprising a database in which are stored one or more abridged movies, wherein all two sequentially adjacent frames in each of said stored one or more abridged movies are significantly different from one another;
- and
- b) a client mobile device, for capturing a plurality of frames from a video media which is to be identified, for processing said captured films so as to select therefrom one or more matchable frames, wherein identifiable features of each of said one more matchable frames are significantly different than identifiable features of a previously captured frame, and transmitting said selected one or more matchable frames as queries to said one or more servers;
- wherein said one or more servers are provided with circuitry for analyzing said one or more transmitted matchable frames and for outputting a result which is indicative of a matched frame, and with communication lines through which data associated with said outputted result is exchangeable with said client device, whereby to identify said captured frames.
