Abstract
Systems and methods for replacing original media bookmarks of at least a portion of a digital media file with replacement bookmarks is described. A media fingerprint engine detects the location of the original fingerprints associated with the portion of the digital media file and a region analysis algorithm characterizes regions of media file spanning the location of the original bookmarks by data class types. The replacement bookmarks are associated with the data class types and are overwritten or otherwise are substituted for the original bookmarks. The replacement bookmarks then are subjected to a fingerprint matching algorithm that incorporates media timeline and media related metadata.
Claims19
A method for generating video fingerprints comprising:
- identifying a portion of an original digital media file, the portion including original bookmarks;
- detecting the location of at least one original fingerprint associated with the portion of the file;
- generating a plurality of replacement bookmarks;
- replacing the original bookmarks with the replacement bookmarks;
- and
- after replacing the original bookmarks with the replacement bookmarks, fingerprinting the replacement bookmarks.

- selecting a portion of a digital media file;
- detecting an original bookmark associated with the portion;
- characterizing, according to a plurality of data class types, regions of the portion
- generating a replacement bookmark, the replacement bookmark being associated with at least one of the data class types;
- overwriting the original bookmark with the replacement bookmark;
- and
- fingerprinting the replacement bookmark.
