Secure digital media authentication and analysis

Abstract

A server system for digital media processing may receive two digital media assets and information associated with capture of the two digital media assets, such as metadata or sensor data from the respective times of capture of the two digital media assets. The server system verifies that the two digital media assets and associated information are unaltered, and that the second of the two digital media assets is captured after the first. The server system then generates a document that incorporates the two digital media assets, such as an insurance claim document.

         4 . The method of  claim 3 , further comprising:
 selecting the insurance policy for the object from a plurality of possible insurance policies based on respective characteristics of the plurality of possible insurance policies to identify the insurance policy for the object.   
     
     
         5 . The method of  claim 3 , further comprising:
 analyzing the first digital media asset to recognize an object type of the object depicted in the first digital media asset, wherein identifying the insurance policy for the object is also based on the object type of the object.   
     
     
         6 . The method of  claim 5 , wherein the object type of the object is indicative of at least one of an identity of the object, a value of the object, an age of the object, a property scope of the object, an ownership history of the object, a make of the object, a model of the object, or a color of the object. 
     
     
         7 . The method of  claim 5 , further comprising:
 querying a database using the object type to retrieve at least one attribute of the object, wherein identifying the insurance policy for the object is also based on the at least one attribute of the object.   
     
     
         8 . The method of  claim 3 , further comprising:
 processing a transfer of funds between a plurality of accounts, the transfer of the funds associated with the insurance claim payment.   
     
     
         9 . The method of  claim 3 , further comprising:
 identifying a payment to be made for the insurance policy for the object, wherein the payment is based on the first condition of the object as recognized in the first digital media asset; and   initiating the insurance policy based on an indication of processing of the payment.   
     
     
         10 . The method of  claim 2 , wherein the object is one of a vehicle or a structure. 
     
     
         11 . The method of  claim 2 , further comprising:
 identifying damage to the object to identify the second condition of the object;   receiving weather data for an area associated with the damage to the object and for a time associated with the damage to the object; and   verifying that the damage to the object is consistent with the weather data.   
     
     
         12 . The method of  claim 2 , further comprising:
 recognizing a characteristic of the object in both the first digital media asset and the second digital media asset to verify that the first digital media asset and the second digital media asset both depict the object.   
     
     
         13 . The method of  claim 2 , further comprising:
 verifying that a first time of capture of the first digital media asset is before a second time of capture of the second digital media asset.   
     
     
         14 . The method of  claim 2 , further comprising:
 verifying that the first digital media asset is unaltered based on a comparison between a first hash generated using the first digital media asset and a second hash decrypted from a first encrypted signature associated with the first digital media asset; and   verifying that the second digital media asset is unaltered based on a comparison between a third hash generated using the second digital media asset and a fourth hash decrypted from a second encrypted signature associated with the second digital media asset.   
     
     
         15 . A system for media processing, the system comprising:
 at least one memory; and   at least one processor coupled to the at least one memory and configured to:
 receive a first digital media asset depicting an object; 
 analyze the first digital media asset to recognize a first condition of the object as depicted in the first digital media asset; 
 receive a second digital media asset depicting the object after receiving the first digital media asset; 
 analyze the second digital media asset to recognize a second condition of the object as depicted in the second digital media asset; and 
 identify an extent of difference between the first condition of the object as depicted in the first digital media asset and the second condition of the object as depicted in the second digital media asset. 
   
     
     
         16 . The system of  claim 15 , the at least one processor configured to:
