Vehicle-Based Media System with Audio Advertisement and External-Device Action Synchronization Feature
11 Mar 21
In one aspect, an example method to be performed by a vehicle-based media system includes (a) receiving audio content; (b) causing one or more speakers to output the received audio content; (c) using a microphone of the vehicle-based media system to capture the output audio content; (d) identifying reference audio content that has at least a threshold extent of similarity with the captured audio content; (e) identifying a computational action based at least on the identified reference audio content; and (f) sending, via a network interface of the vehicle-based media system, an instruction that causes an external computing device to perform the identified computational action.

A computing system will compare various reference fingerprints each representing a reference media stream broadcast on a different respective known channel, and the computing system will determine that a plurality of the reference fingerprints match each other, thus defining a multi-match group of the matching reference fingerprints.
