Abstract

See full text

A video services receiver and related operating methods are disclosed here. In accordance with one disclosed methodology, the video services receiver receives a segment of video content, and processes a plurality of contiguous sub-segments of the segment of video content to generate a corresponding plurality of characterizing signatures. Each of the characterizing signatures identifies a respective one of the contiguous sub-segments. The video services receiver compares the characterizing signatures to video content signatures maintained in a database. When the results of the comparing satisfy predetermined matching criteria, the video services receiver initiates an operation that influences presentation attributes of the segment of video content.
