摘要： Example methods, apparatus, and articles of manufacture to collect metering information associated with media presented by portable and computer media presentation devices are disclosed. A disclosed example method accesses a first data structure including metering information generated by at least one of first media presentation software executed by a personal computer or second media presentation software executed by a portable media presentation device. The metering information is associated with media presented by at least one of the first or second media presentation software. At least some of the metering information is then extracted from the first data structure and stored in a second data structure. The at least some of the metering information is then communicated from the second data structure to a data collection facility.

摘要翻译： 便携式人员计费器（PPM）用于收集与诸如移动数字助理MDA，便携式计算机，移动电话等多媒体呈现装置播放的多媒体数据相关联的计量信息。 无线耳机或耳机通过蓝牙®耦合到多媒体呈现设备，并且耳机的扬声器基于从呈现设备接收的多媒体数据来发出音频。 PPM包括计量信息发生器在耳机的数字无线接口上窃听来自媒体呈现设备的音频信息，以产生与音频数据相关联的观众测量信息。 PPM的实现包括在通用处理器上执行的微代码。

摘要： Methods and apparatus for multi-purpose metering are disclosed. An example method includes acquiring a rate of data transfer to/from the monitored location and comparing the acquired rate of data transfer to a threshold. The example method also includes setting at least one media monitoring device in a first bandwidth mode when the acquired rate of data transfer exceeds the threshold, and setting the at least one media monitoring device in a second bandwidth mode when the acquired rate of data transfer is below the threshold.
