    摘要： Methods and apparatus for identifying a digital audio signal are described. An example apparatus for identifying a digital audio signal includes an input to receive the digital audio signal, which includes data from a broadcast or a stored digital program signal. The example apparatus also includes a detector to receive the digital audio signal from the input and determine whether the received digital audio signal is uncompressed as received at the input; a decoder to receive the digital audio signal from the detector when the digital audio signal is compressed as received at the input and identify any first program-identifying code in an auxiliary field of the compressed digital audio signal; and a code reader to receive the digital audio signal from the detector when the digital audio signal is uncompressed as received at the input and receive the digital audio signal from a decompressor when the digital audio signal is compressed as received at the input. Additionally, the code reader is to identify any second program-identifying code in a decompressed or uncompressed portion of the digital audio signal when the first program-identifying code is not identified in the auxiliary field or when the digital audio signal is uncompressed as received at the input.

    摘要： Methods and apparatus to monitor reception of programs and content by broadcast receivers are disclosed. An example method disclosed herein to monitor reception of a broadcast program by a broadcast receiver located in a statistically selected site comprises retrieving an audience measurement data packet from the broadcast receiver in order to identify the broadcast program, detecting a code embedded in the broadcast program in order to identify the broadcast program, extracting a signature from the broadcast program in order to identify the broadcast program, identifying the broadcast program through use of a software agent, and selecting at least one of the audience measurement data packet, the embedded code, the extracted signature or the software agent to identify the received program.

    摘要： A communication method and a data collection and transmission system are provided having at least one remotely located monitoring station. A central computer is arranged for bidirectional communication with each of the monitoring stations. Each of the monitoring stations includes a storage and forward unit for communicating with the central computer and at least one sensor unit for monitoring a predetermined geographically proximate variable and for processing and storing predetermined operational data. The storage and forward unit includes a real time clock that is arranged to accurately maintain a real time indicative signal. A local area network connects the storage and forward unit and each of the sensor units. A coded message having a predetermined sequential data format is used for bidirectional communications between the storage and forward unit and the sensor units. A real-time coded message is provided by the storage and forward unit to the sensor units. The storage and forward unit includes a counter for counting at a predefined rate for identifying a delay time period prior to the transmission of the real-time coded message. Each sensor unit includes a counter for counting at the predefined rate to identify a second time delay period responsive to a received real-time coded message from the storage and forward unit. The real-time coded message includes the first identified time delay period that is combined with the second identified time delay period to determine the current time value by the sensor unit.

Additionally, the code reader is to identify any second program-identifying code in a decompressed or uncompressed portion of the digital audio signal when the first program-identifying code is not identified in the auxiliary field or when the digital audio signal is uncompressed as received at the input.
