Abstract

See full text

Methods and systems for performing comparisons of received data and providing a follow-on service based on the comparisons are described. In one example, a performer may utilize a portable device that includes a microphone to record a data stream of content from an ambient environment of a venue, and provide the data stream of content to a server. A user may utilize another portable device that includes a microphone to record a sample of the content from the ambient environment, and may send the sample to the server. The server may perform a comparison of characteristics of the sample with characteristics of the data stream, and can provide a response to the user with metadata. Further, based on the comparison, the server may register a presence of the user's device at the concert. The server may perform social networking functions based on results of content identification functions.
