Abstract

See full text

A system that utilizes a determined time between characteristics from content for subsequently identifying the content and/or the corresponding content review position in the time domain. The system utilizes a database of previously stored time between characteristics from known content for matching to the determined time between characteristics from the content source. The characteristics may correspond to video tape indexing data, keyframe data, audio characteristics, text occurrences, and/or other known characteristics from the content. When a match is found between the determined time between characteristics and the stored times between characteristics, the system identifies the content. If corresponding time domain data is stored in the database, the system identifies the current content review position in the time domain. When the time between characteristics from the content does not match any of the times stored in the database, the system stores the current time between characteristics and corresponding content identifying information in the database for identifying the content at some subsequent time.
