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： Arrangements involving portable devices (e.g., smartphones and tablet computers) are disclosed. One arrangement enables a content creator to select software with which that creator's content should be rendered—assuring continuity between artistic intention and delivery. Another utilizes a device camera to identify nearby subjects, and take actions based thereon. Others rely on near field chip (RFID) identification of objects, or on identification of audio streams (e.g., music, voice). Some technologies concern improvements to the user interfaces associated with such devices. Others involve use of these devices in connection with shopping, text entry, sign language interpretation, and vision-based discovery. Still other improvements are architectural in nature, e.g., relating to evidence-based state machines, and blackboard systems. Yet other technologies concern use of linked data in portable devices—some of which exploit GPU capabilities. Still other technologies concern computational photography. A great variety of other features and arrangements are also detailed.

摘要： Metadata determines treatment of content by automated systems, including “user generated content” web sites. The metadata may be conveyed with the content or may be determined by other techniques, including systems based on digital watermarking or content fingerprinting. In some arrangements, treatment depends on the temporal length of a content excerpt that matches a pre-existing work. In others, treatment depends on popularity—either of the content, or a pre-existing work from which it was derived. A great variety of other factors and contexts can also be considered. Automated tools to preliminarily identify possible “fair use” can be realized; further determination may be made by human evaluators (including crowd-source approaches).
摘要翻译：元数据通过自动化系统来确定对内容的处理，包括“用户生成的内容”网站。元数据可以与内容一起传送，或者可以由包括基于数字水印或内容指纹的系统的其他技术来确定。在一些安排中，治疗取决于与预先存在的工作匹配的内容摘录的时间长度。在其他方面，治疗取决于流行度 - 内容的任何一个，或者是从中得出的预先存在的工作。还可以考虑各种各样的其他因素和背景。可以实现初步识别可能“合理使用”的自动化工具; 人类评估者可能进一步确定（包括人群来源方法）。
