摘要： Media content objects, such as audio MP3 files, are associated with identifiers. The identifiers can be assigned, or can be implicit (e.g., derived from other data in the content object, as by hashing). A user of the file can utilize the identifier to query a database and thereby obtain the URL of one or more internet resources associated with that content (e.g., web sites with fan info, concert schedules, opportunities to purchase CDs, etc.). Some identifiers may not be associated with URLs in the database. A user who queries the database with such an identifier (e.g., which may be derived from an independently produced MP3) finds that there is not yet an associated URL. In this case, the user may be given the opportunity to lease this virtual address for a predetermined period, with the privilege of specifying a URL for that identifier. Subsequent users who link from this particular MP3 file thereafter are directed to the URL specified by the first user. In some arrangements, the leasing privilege is awarded through a brief auction, triggered by the first user's discovery that the address is not used. Other users who query the database with that identifier during the period of the auction are permitted to bid. When the first lease period expires, the privilege can be re-auctioned. Proceeds from such auctions can be shared, e.g., with the user who triggered the first action, or with the high bidder of a previous auction.
摘要翻译：诸如音频MP3文件的媒体内容对象与标识符相关联。标识符可以被分配，或者可以是隐式的（例如，通过散列从内容对象中的其他数据导出）。该文件的用户可以利用该标识符来查询数据库，从而获得与该内容相关联的一个或多个因特网资源的URL（例如，具有风扇信息的网站，音乐会安排，购买CD的机会等）。某些标识符可能不与数据库中的URL相关联。使用这样的标识符（例如，可以从独立产生的MP3导出）查询数据库的用户发现还没有关联的URL。在这种情况下，可以给予用户预定时间段租用该虚拟地址的机会，其特征在于指定该标识符的URL。之后从此特定MP3文件链接的后续用户被定向到由第一用户指定的URL。在一些安排中，租赁特权是通过简单的拍卖获得的，由第一个用户发现地址不被使用触发。在拍卖期间查询具有该标识符的数据库的其他用户可以出价。首次租赁期届满时，可以重新拍卖特权。来自这样的拍卖的收益可以例如与触发第一动作的用户或与先前拍卖的高出价者共享。

摘要： The present invention provides methods to provide or establish links, web addresses or web content with media (e.g., audio, videos or imagery). In one implementation, we provide a method comprising: upon receipt of a content identifier associated with media, initiating a time-limited auction for a right to associated a link or website with the content identifier; receiving additional bids for the right; and at a conclusion of a predetermined time associated with the time-limited auction, awarding the right to associate a link or website with the content identifier. In another implementation we provide a method including awarding a right to provide or host web content; and monitoring provided or hosted web content to ensure that non-advertising content is maintained at or above a predetermined level. In yet another implementation, we provide a method including: receiving a content identifier associated with media; determining whether web content exists that is associated with the content identifier; if the web content exists, providing the web content or a pointer to the web content; and if web content does not exist, allowing a user who provided the content identifier to provide or host web content.

摘要： This invention deals with improving recommendation systems. The first embodiment combines rules and recommendations to create automated and intelligent business rules for recommendations. The second embodiment improves recommendations by combining the results of driver products and influencer products, where influencer products only influence the recommendations of the driver products. Influencer products can be related to a specific user. The third embodiment improves recommendations for new items by relating them to original items, such that the sales for the original item is used in the new item when calculating recommendations. The new items may replace the original item, or be a similar item and exist alongside the original item.

摘要： The disclosure describes a method of connecting multimedia content to a network resource. This method operates in a computer network environment. Operating in a network connected device, the method extracts an identifier from a media signal, such as from a digital watermark, perceptual hash, or other machine extracted signal identifier. It then sends the identifier to a network along with context information indicating device type information. From the network, the method receives related data associated with the media signal via the identifier. The related data is adapted to the network connected device based on the device type information. This device type information may include a display type, so that the related date may be formatted for rendering on the display type of the device. This device type information may also include a connection speed so that the related data may be optimized for the connection speed of the device.

摘要： The present invention describes methods and apparatus involving embedding data. Data can be embedded steganographically in content or embedded in, e.g., headers associated with the content. In one implementation, a method of embedding auxiliary information in data is provided. The method includes receiving data and correlated data. The correlated data is related to but independent from the received data. The method further includes receiving auxiliary information, the auxiliary information being independent of the received data and the correlated data; changing the auxiliary information based on at least the correlated data; and embedding the changed auxiliary information in the received data. Other implementations are also provided.
