    摘要: Methods, apparatus, systems and articles of manufacture are disclosed herein to identify media presentation by analyzing network traffic. Example instructions cause a machine to generate a traffic profile to reduce a computational burden of identifying streaming media being presented on a media presentation device, the traffic profile including first network traffic data indicative of the streaming media; obtain the traffic profile and second network traffic data corresponding to the streaming media; and generate, in response to a score for the second network traffic data meeting a threshold of similarity, a network traffic analysis report identifying the streaming media being presented on the media presentation device.

    摘要: Methods, apparatus, and systems are disclosed to measure media consumption. An apparatus includes a memory, machine readable instructions, and processor circuitry to instantiate or execute the machine readable instructions to access a domain pattern signature representative of a request to obtain media, the domain pattern signature includes (a) a set of domain names and (b) one or more of a location of the request, a time of the request, or a characteristic of a device used to execute the request, compare the domain pattern signature to one or more reference signatures, determine a first reference signature includes (a) a matching set of domain names and (b) one or more of a matching location of the request, a matching time of the request, or a matching characteristic of the device used to execute the request, and credit the domain pattern signature with an Internet site associated with the first reference signature.

    摘要: Methods, apparatus, systems and articles of manufacture are disclosed to determine virtual WiFi data rate. An example disclosed herein includes a control frame receiver to capture control frames from a user device. The example disclosed herein further includes a bitrate calculator to calculate a bitrate for each control frame by dividing a bitmap of a control frame by an amount of time between the control frame and a previously captured control frame. The example disclosed herein further includes an interval timer to control a length of time that the control frames are captured before calculating the virtual bandwidth. The example disclosed herein further includes a virtual bandwidth calculator to calculate the virtual bandwidth after the length of time, the virtual bandwidth calculated by dividing an average bitrate from the control frames by the length of time.

    摘要: An apparatus and method to automatically determine the location of unknown media devices is disclosed. An example apparatus includes a media device detector to detect an unknown media device identified in monitoring data collected by an audience measurement device at a location determined to have an “on” status, a media transmission detector to detect a media transmission associated with a device address and an association storer to store an association of the device address, the unknown media device and the location. A probability determiner determines a probability that the unknown media device is located at the location.

    摘要: Methods, apparatus, systems and articles of manufacture are disclosed to facilitate device identification. An example apparatus includes a communications analyzer to, responsive to identifying a network address of a media device compare a hardware address associated with the network address of the media device to a list of known hardware addresses, and when the list does not include the hardware address, store the hardware address in a data store, a communications transmitter to transmit the hardware address to a network activity monitoring system, the network activity monitoring system to communicate with a device identifying entity to obtain identifying data of the device based on the hardware address, and a communications data storer to, responsive to obtaining the identifying data from the network activity monitoring system, store the identifying data in a data store.
