Nexicon Launches 'Automated Human Visual Verification' Solution to Help Fight Internet Piracy
Breakthrough solution allows for human verification of thousands of illegal downloads each day
ALBUQUERQUE, N.M., Oct. 24 -- Today Nexicon announces the release of the Automated Human Visual Verification (AHVV) solution. This unparalleled software offering provides customers the ability to quickly scan thousands of potential copyright infringements each day, allowing the customers to confirm that download violations are not "false positives."
Through a proprietary process, the AHVV software solution extracts raw data packets from downloaded files and re-encodes the content for verification via software such as Adobe Flash Player within Nexicon's web-based anti-piracy application. A small clip of sound or video is then visually verified by a human being, ensuring that an alleged copyright infringement is indeed a violation. This AHVV tool expedites the verification processes, virtually eliminating the high fault rates that other non-human verified automated fingerprinting technologies struggle to overcome.
"To successfully combat internet piracy, handling large volumes of possible infringements while maintaining accuracy is an absolute must for our clients and the industry as a whole," said Richard Urrea, Nexicon CEO. "Our AHVV solution accomplishes both. This AHVV technology is deployed and is now in use by two of the top six major motion picture studios as well as other clients, and the feedback gathered indicates that the accuracy to date has indeed been 100%."
The AHVV graphical interface guides a copyright violation investigator to a list of potential online infringements of copyrighted material. Because the metadata description or file name of a copyrighted title sometimes does not match the actual content of the downloaded file, it is necessary for humans to verify that an illegal download has occurred in order to prevent false positives. The AHVV tool makes this verification process as easy as comparing the scene of a movie on two television screens at the same time and can be completed fifty times faster than that of competing technologies.
"The AHVV solution is the culmination of years of planning, design, and development," said Tommy Stiansen, Nexicon Chief Technology Officer. "By leveraging our globally managed network of fiber optic internet connections and in-depth knowledge of audio and video data processing, we have built a highly scalable solution. Today, we are verifying approximately 1,000 videos per day, but can accommodate ten times this amount as we add more clients."
