FINGERPRINT GENERATION OF MULTIMEDIA CONTENT BASED ON A TRIGGER POINT WITH THE MULTIMEDIA CONTENT

Surrogate heuristic identification is described, including a memory configured to store data associated with content, and a processor configured to select a portion of the content and the portion is standardized, to identify a characteristic associated with the portion, to use the characteristic to generate a data representation, the data representation being used to provide heuristic data, and to process the heuristic data to generate a fingerprint configured to compare against one or more stored fingerprints.
