    摘要: A method for screening broadcast programming is provided. A viewer is configured to receive broadcast programming and to present the broadcast programming to a user. An interface is configured to receive user input from a user, the user input comprising at least a content of interest start time based on the broadcast programming. A processor is coupled to the interface and configured to store the user input and to generate a screening signal based on the user input. In a particular aspect, a broadcast recorder is coupled to the viewer and configured to store the received broadcast programming.

    摘要: An antenna (26) projects a detection zone (28) across a non-intersection portion (16) of a road (10). A scanning receiver (32) couples to and is controlled by a data logging computer (34). This computer (34) commands the receiver (32) to look for one FM local oscillator (LO) signal (22) that may be emitted from within the detection zone (28). If one LO signal (22) is detected, other LO signals (22) that may be detected at the receiver are ignored until the one signal is no longer detectable (90-106). An attenuator allows LO signals 22 emitted from radios (20) in the detection zone (28) at noisy frequencies to have the same likelihood of being detected as LO signals 22 emitted at less noisy frequencies. Detected LO signals (22) are ignored if they are detected for less than a minimum duration (100) or if they are detected for greater than a maximum duration (118). The second of two consecutively detected LO signals (22) is ignored if it occurs within a minimum duration (112) from the previously detected LO signal (22) and exhibits the same frequency (114) as the previously detected LO signal (22). A compiling computer (36) accumulates the data logged by the data logging computer (34) into a spread sheet (134).

    摘要: Example local devices disclosed herein include memory including a set of reference fingerprints corresponding to media, the set of reference fingerprints from a remote device different from the local device and one or more processor circuits to execute machine readable instructions to generate a monitored fingerprint of the media presented at a location and compare the monitored fingerprint to at least some of the set of reference fingerprints from the remote device. Additionally, the one or more processor circuits are to determine an amount of time that has passed since the media started and after a match between the monitored fingerprint and one or more reference fingerprints of the set of reference fingerprints, cause transmission of audience measurement information to identify the media, the audience measurement information including data indicative of the amount of time that has passed since the media started.
