Patent Overview: US 9,230,547 B2
Title: Metadata extraction of non-transcribed video and audio streams
Assignee: DATASCRIPTION LLC (original assignee and listed current assignee).
Key dates: Priority date 2013-07-10; application US14/719,125 filed 2015-05-21; published as US20150255066A1 on 2015-09-10; granted 2016-01-05. The record lists anticipated expiration 2034-07-10 and status "Active - Reinstated."
Stated purpose: Per the supplied definitions, an object of the claimed invention "is to provide a system and method that transcribes and normalizes non-transcribed media, which can include audio, video and/or imagery, to a single universal amplitude scale."
Plain-language scope (from the abstract and definitions): A processor-based server pulls the audio and video streams out of a source media. A speech recognition engine turns the audio into a time-aligned text transcription and also captures audio amplitude by time interval, producing "time-aligned machine transcribed media." The server processor then derives metadata from that material, including psychological profile estimation over all or part of the time-aligned transcription, with database lookups keyed to predefined word/phrase psychological associations. Other described features include: extracting object data points by timed interval from stored time-aligned video frames and matching them against an object database or data warehouse; querying demographic and socio-demographic information for the program source; and returning language analytics results correlated with normalized amplitude values—temporal aggregated natural language processing (sentiment, entity/topic, demographic), psychological analysis, audio metadata analysis, and visual metadata analysis. The system also updates the data warehouse with extracted information such as time-aligned amplitude metadata.
Classifications listed include G06V20/40, G06V20/46, G06V40/16, G10L15/24, G10L15/26, G10L25/57, and G06V2201/10.

No PTAB proceedings on file. This patent has not been challenged via IPR, PGR, or CBM. The absence is itself a signal — well-asserted patents eventually attract IPRs. The LLM analysis below may surface filings the ODP feed hasn’t indexed yet.
PTAB challenges
AIA trial proceedings at the USPTO Patent Trial and Appeal Board — IPR, PGR, and CBM. Petitioners, judge panels, claim-level invalidation outcomes from Final Written Decisions, and Federal Circuit appeals. The single most important defensive datapoint after litigation history.
Assignment history
Inventors, original assignee, and the chain of ownership recorded with the USPTO — including the correspondent attorney who recorded each assignment, since shell-LLC chains often share one repeat-player attorney even when the entity names look unrelated. Surfaces NPE / patent-troll patterns: shell-entity transfers, known asserters in the chain, repeat correspondent fingerprints, pre-litigation assignments, and bankruptcy fire-sales.
Prior art
Earlier patents, publications, and products that may anticipate or render the claims unpatentable.
Obviousness
Combinations of prior art that suggest the claimed invention would have been obvious under 35 U.S.C. § 103.
Extensions
Patent term adjustments, term extensions, continuations, divisionals, family members, and expiration dates.
Derivative works
Defensive disclosure: derivative variations of each claim designed to render future incremental improvements obvious or non-novel.
