    摘要: Methods, apparatus, systems, and articles of manufacture to correlate a demographic segment with a fixed device are disclosed. An example method includes accessing a record indicating a public Internet Protocol (IP) address used by a fixed device. A monitoring data record received from a mobile device is accessed. A demographic segment of a user of the mobile device is determined. The mobile device is associated with the fixed device when an IP address of the mobile device from the monitoring data record matches the public IP address used by the fixed device. The demographic segment of the user of the mobile device is associated with the fixed device based on the association of the fixed device and the mobile device.

    摘要: Methods, apparatus, systems and articles of manufacture are disclosed for determining a probability of presence for a user of a first device at a second media presentation with a second device. An example apparatus includes memory, instructions in the apparatus, and processor circuitry to execute the instructions to determine a first probability of presence based on a first demographic impression, a non-demographic impression, and a shared data item, the first demographic impression logged by a database proprietor for a first device, the shared data item provided by the first device, the first probability of presence indicative of a likelihood that a user of the first device corresponds to the non-demographic impression.

    摘要: Methods and apparatus to measure exposure to streaming media are disclosed. An example apparatus includes communication interface circuitry to obtain metering data, the metering data including a first metadata tag extracted from media at a time corresponding to a media event associated with the media, the metering data omitting second metadata tags extracted from the media by a media monitor, the second metadata tags identified for omission based on a temporal proximity of the second metadata tags to the media event, the first and second metadata tags extracted from the media when the media is presented; memory; instructions included in the apparatus; and processor circuitry to execute the instructions to determine a first exposure of an audience to the media based on the metering data, the first exposure being the same as a second exposure determined based on an analysis of the first metadata tags.

    摘要: Systems, methods, and apparatus to identify media devices are disclosed. An example apparatus includes memory, instructions, and at least one processor. The at least one processor is to execute the instructions to cause the at least one processor to at least monitor a home network associated with a panelist home for a network communication, maintain a table of device identifiers and respective media access control addresses corresponding to registered devices on the home network, in response to the detection of the network communication transmitted on the home network, attempt to identify a device identifier of the requesting device from the table of device identifiers and respective media access control addresses based on a media access control address of the requesting device; and in response to a failure to identify the device identifier, prompt the panelist to provide a device identifier for the unidentified device.

    摘要: Methods and apparatus to measure exposure to streaming media are disclosed. An example apparatus includes an event listener to listen for an event notification based on a playback position of a first media segment of a multi-segment media. The example apparatus includes a metadata handler to update a multi-file counter with an offset based on a duration of the first media segment, detect that a second media segment is a segment of the multi-segment media, determine a playback time within the second media segment, add the playback time to the multi-file counter to determine a corresponding playback time of the multi-segment media, and attempt to perform a lookup of a metadata tag in a table based on the playback time of the multi-segment media. The example apparatus includes and a transmitter to transmit the metadata tag corresponding to the playback time of the multi-segment media to an audience measurement entity.

    摘要: Methods, apparatus, and machine-readable storage media to monitor media presentations are disclosed. A disclosed example apparatus includes a locator to compare a location of a mobile device with a set of reference locations at which audio monitoring is to be performed. The disclosed example apparatus further includes an audio receiver to enable a microphone of the mobile device to collect audio for media monitoring when (1) the location of the mobile device corresponds to a first one of the reference locations and (2) a media presentation monitor at the first one of the reference locations indicates a likelihood of media being presented at the first location satisfies a threshold. In some disclosed examples, the audio receiver of the example apparatus is to disable the microphone from collecting audio for media monitoring when the location of the mobile device does not correspond to any of the reference locations.

    摘要: Example methods to perform audience measurement disclosed herein include performing a hashing operation on a first media identifier and a plurality of data values to determine a plurality of hashed media identifiers to identify first media, a first one of the hashed media identifiers being different from a second one of the hashed media identifiers. Disclosed example methods also include sending the first one of the hashed media identifiers to a media provider to identify the first media during a first monitoring interval. Disclosed example methods further include determining audience measurement data associated with the first media and the first monitoring interval based on reporting data received from a service provider different from the media provider, the reporting data including the first one of the hashed media identifiers and demographic data corresponding to a subscriber associated with a media device that received the first media from the media provider.
