Identification of concurrently broadcast time-based media

A system comprising:

• a processor;
• and
• a non-transitory computer readable storage medium configured to store instructions, the instructions executable by the processor and that when executed cause the processor to:
• receive, at a real-time messaging platform comprising a plurality of accounts, a reference audio stream of a time-based media (TBM) event;
• receive, at the real-time messaging platform, an audio snippet for identification from a client device, the client device associated with one of the accounts;
• identify reference audio segments of the reference audio stream, having different start times and end times;
• identify, by a computer processor, test audio segments of the audio snippet for identification, the test audio segments at least partially overlapping each other in time;
• generate a plurality of reference audio features based on a plurality of inclusion conditions for each of the reference audio segments, each reference audio feature associated with a reference feature time and comprising a plurality of reference audio properties;
• generate, by the computer processor, a plurality of test audio features based on the inclusion conditions for each of the test audio segments, each test audio feature associated with a test feature time and comprising a plurality of test audio properties;
• determine, that one or more test audio features of a first one of the test audio segments matches one or more reference audio features of a first one of the reference audio segments, the determination comprising causing the processor to;
• comparing the test feature time of a first one of the test audio features and the reference feature time of a first one of the reference audio features, and
• comparing a first of the test audio properties of the first test audio feature to the a first of the reference audio properties of the first test audio feature;
• determine that the first reference audio segment including at least the first reference audio feature matches the first test audio segment including at least the first test audio feature;
• and
• store, in response to determining that the test audio segment matches the reference audio segment, an association between the account and TBM event.

A non-transitory computer readable storage medium storing instructions for determining matching audio segments, the instructions when executed by a processor causes the processor to:

• receive, at a real-time messaging platform comprising a plurality of accounts, a reference audio stream of a time-based media (TBM) event;
• identify reference audio segments of the reference audio stream, having different start times and end times;
• generate a plurality of reference audio features based on a plurality of inclusion conditions for each of the reference audio segments, each reference audio feature associated with a reference feature time and comprising a plurality of reference audio properties;
• receive, at the real-time messaging platform, an audio snippet for identification from a client device, the client device associated with one of the accounts;
• identify, by a computer processor, test audio segments of the audio snippet for identification, the test audio segments at least partially overlapping each other in time;
• generate, by the computer processor, a plurality of test audio features based on the inclusion conditions for each of the test audio segments, each test audio feature associated with a test feature time and comprising a plurality of test audio properties;
• determine, that one or more test audio features of a first one of the test audio segments matches one or more reference audio features of a first one of the reference audio segments, the determination comprising;
• comparing the test feature time of a first one of the test audio features and the reference feature time of a first one of the reference audio features, and
• comparing a first of the test audio properties of the first test audio feature to the a first of the reference audio properties of the first test audio feature;
• determine that the first reference audio segment including at least the first reference audio feature matches the first test audio segment including at least the first test audio feature;
• and
• store, in response to determining that the test audio segment matches the reference audio segment, an association between the account and TBM event.
