Appl. No.:

12/283355

Inventors:

Jonathan S. Steuer - New York NY, US
Christopher Otto - Fremont CA, US

Assignee:

Anonymous Media Research LLC - New York NY

International Classification:

H04H 60/33

US Classification:

725 18, 725 9, 725 14, 725 19, 455 201, 702 79, 702 89, 702761, 702177, 702178, 702187, 700 94, 381 56

Abstract:

Media monitoring and measurement systems and methods are disclosed. Some embodiments of the present invention provide a media measurement system and method that utilizes audience data to enhance content identifications. Some embodiments analyze media player log data to enhance content identification. Other embodiments of the present invention analyze sample sequence data to enhance content identifications. Other embodiments analyze sequence data to enhance content identification and/or to establish channel identification. Yet other embodiments provide a system and method in which sample construction and selection parameters are adjusted based upon identification results. Yet other embodiments provide a method in which play-altering activity of an audience member is deduced from content offset values of identifications corresponding to captured samples. Yet other embodiments provide a monitoring and measurement system in which a media monitoring device is adapted to receive a wireless or non-wireless audio signal from a media player, the audio signal also being received wirelessly by headphones of a user of the monitoring device.
