Patent 10362349 was granted and assigned to Google on July, 2019 by the United States Patent and Trademark Office.
A method, system, and computer program instructions detect and score video channels based on content reuse. Matches between two videos occur when one video reuses a segment of video or audio content from another video. A video graph stores information about videos, channels the videos belong to, and their matches with other videos. Channels are given similarity scores based on their similarity to a video, channel, or group of channels. Similarity scores are calculated using information about video matches from the video graph.
