Description

SYSTEMS AND METHODS FOR ANALYSING MEDIA IN REAL-TIME
TECHNICAL FIELD
[0001] The presently disclosed subject matter generally relates to the field of data analytics. Particularly, the present subject matter relates to systems and methods for automatically analysing media content streaming on a media streaming device, such as media content streaming on a television, in real time.
BACKGROUND
[0002] Any references to methods, apparatus or documents of the prior art are not to be taken as constituting any evidence or admission that they formed, or form part of the common general knowledge.
[0003] With the emergence of the Internet and hundreds of channels on television, there had been an overflow of media platforms from where people can gather information about almost everything. These days customers do offline and online research to gather information through different media platforms like websites, review portals, social media platforms, television, etc. about products and/or services before making decisions about any purchase of the product like a car, a home, a mobile phone, etc. or a service like a hotel booking. Further, the companies also collect and analyse data from these media platforms to make strategic decision about their business, for promotional optimization, calculating return of investment (like sales resulted based on marketing), cross platform analytics, emerging distribution, advertising optimization of spends, and for determining other valuable insights. The media data generated and collected from the media platforms is huge. Hence analysing the data for deriving various information may require a number of resources like people, computers, etc. and hence may prove to be a time-consuming task.
[0004] An existing system for media analysis receives data from TV Stations directly. Another media analysis system tracks, categorises and makes advert creative available i.e. the system is able to identify brands and what is being advertised from the advertisements. However, these systems rely on a manual method of analysing advertisements on television meaning they are cost inefficient and can take multiple days to process data and produce reports. They are also limited to major broadcast channels (Capital Cities) as it is not cost effective to manually log all channels. [0005] Further, existing knowledge (including Google’s published material) relies on repetition to identify adverts (or advertisements). This differs significantly in that an advert would need to appear multiple times before the advert can be identified.
[0006] Existing media analysing methods or video/image matching are either too low resolution that may not identify small variations in an advert for instance, price differences per state. Other media analysing methods are too high resolution that may be too slow to apply to real time video streams. Further, existing media analysis techniques require manual input or intervention and cannot be performed in real-time.
[0007] In light of above, there exists a need for improved techniques for analysing media. It is an object of the present invention to overcome or ameliorate the above discussed disadvantages of the prior art, or at least offer a useful alternative.
SUMMARY
[0008] To overcome the above-mentioned limitations and problems, the present disclosure provides media analysing systems and methods for automatically analysing media content including digital media content streaming on a number of media streaming devices in real-time. A media analysing system automates the analytics of advertisements within the media, such as on television, websites, etc. in real-time. The system is configured to identify and analyse advertisements on television (TV) and/or websites in real-time and may also recognise a new advertisement (or advert) the first time it is aired. The system may not require any manual input for analysing the media. The system is further configured to automatically analyse media through the development of intelligent, and analytical logic. The system is furthermore configured to build signatures of data for particular advertisements and then recognise these advertisements in real time within a logging system. In some embodiments, the system logs high resolution signatures of advertisements in the logging system and then recognises to develop patterns.
[0009] Further, the system analyses all available channels of television optimally in a broadcast region. Further, the system may categorise and make creative available. It means the system is configured to identify brands and what is being advertised from the advertisements. The system is also configured to differentiate between a TV program content (or actual website content) and advertisements. And may recognise advertisers, brands and products from the advertisements. The system may include multiple computing devices such as, but not limited to, a computer configured to operate independently, yet grow and share learning organically with other computers (or computing devices located in all corners of the country or world in real-time. The system analyses and generates insights from media data in near real-time (2-10 second delay) or real time enabling clients like companies to act on competitor activity, analyse competitor movements, and/or customers’ behaviour. The system is adapted to cope with different broadcast resolutions, transmission noise, and multiple broadcast systems and signal encoding methods. The system may inform clients whilst a campaign is live, to enable the clients to respond proactively.
