Abstract

A method and system for matching sequentially relevant content to at least one multimedia content item (MMCI) captured by a mobile device are provided. The method includes extracting at least one MMCI from the mobile device; generating a signature for the extracted at least one MMCI; matching the generated signature to a plurality of signatures of content items; and determining, based on the matching, at least one sequentially relevant content item.

First claim

What is claimed is:

1. A method for matching sequentially relevant content to multimedia content items (MMCIs) stored in a mobile device, comprising:
extracting at least one MMCI from the mobile device;
generating a signature for the extracted at least one MMCI;
matching the generated signature to a plurality of signatures of content items; and
determining, based on the matching, at least one sequentially relevant content item.

2. The method of claim 1 , further comprising:
sending the determined at least one sequentially relevant content item to the mobile device.

3. The method of claim 1 , wherein the at least one sequentially relevant content item is further determined based on at least one parameter related to a user of the mobile device.

4. The method of claim 3 , wherein each parameter related to the user is any of: a time of day at which a request for sequentially relevant content items is received, a location of the user, and weather at the location of the mobile device.

5. The method of claim 3 , wherein each parameter related to the user is collected by at least one sensor of the mobile device.

6. The method of claim 1 , wherein each extracted MMCI is any of: an image, graphics, a video stream, a video clip, an audio stream, an audio clip, a video frame, a photograph, images of signals, combinations thereof, and portions thereof.

7. The method of claim 1 , wherein each determined sequentially relevant content item is successive to one of the extracted at least one MMCI.

8. The method of claim 1 , wherein each signature is generated by a signature generator system, wherein the signature generator system includes a plurality of computational cores configured to receive a plurality of unstructured data elements, each computational core of the plurality of computational cores having properties that are at least partly statistically independent of other of the computational cores, the properties are set independently of each other core.

9. The method of claim 1 , wherein a signature of each determined sequentially relevant content item matches the generated signature above a predefined threshold.

10. A non-transitory computer readable medium having stored thereon instructions for causing a processing circuitry to performed a process comprising:
extracting at least one MMCI from the mobile device;
generating a signature for the extracted at least one MMCI;
matching the generated signature to a plurality of signatures of content items; and
determining, based on the matching, at least one sequentially relevant content item.

11. A system for matching sequentially relevant content to multimedia content items (MMCIs) stored in a mobile device, comprising:
a processing circuitry; and
a memory coupled to the processing unit, the memory containing instructions that, when executed by the processing unit, configure the system to:
extract at least one MMCI from the mobile device;
generate a signature for the extracted at least one MMCI;
match the generated signature to a plurality of signatures of content items; and
determine, based on the matching, at least one sequentially relevant content item.

12. The system of claim 11 , wherein the system is further configured to:
send the determined at least one sequentially relevant content item to the mobile device.

13. The system of claim 11 , wherein the at least one sequentially relevant content item is further determined based on at least one parameter related to a user of the mobile device.

14. The system of claim 13 , wherein each parameter related to the user is any of: a time of day at which a request for sequentially relevant content items is received, a location of the user, and weather at the location of the mobile device.

15. The system of claim 13 , wherein each parameter related to the user is collected by at least one sensor of the mobile device.

16. The system of claim 11 , wherein each extracted MMCI is any of: an image, graphics, a video stream, a video clip, an audio stream, an audio clip, a video frame, a photograph, images of signals, combinations thereof, and portions thereof.

17. The system of claim 11 , wherein each determined sequentially relevant content item is successive to one of the extracted at least one MMCI.

18. The system of claim 11 , wherein each signature is generated by a signature generator system, wherein the signature generator system includes a plurality of computational cores configured to receive a plurality of unstructured data elements, each computational core of the plurality of computational cores having properties that are at least partly statistically independent of other of the computational cores, the properties are set independently of each other core.

19. The system of claim 11 , wherein a signature of each determined sequentially relevant content item matches the generated signature above a predefined threshold.
