Abstract: A TV audience survey system for determining the TV viewing activities of a plurality of individuals in a household includes a master device and multiple tags, each tag assigned to an individual. After an individual logs into the system and starts watching the TV, the master device communicates with the corresponding tag repeatedly to accumulate data representing the individual's TV viewing activities. Such data can be used to determine when the individual stops watching the TV for an extended period of time without logging out of the system and when the household member remains watching the TV after logging or being logged out of the system. The master device then reports the accumulated data to a remote server, which uses the data to determine whether the individual complies with the logging protocol defined by the TV audience survey system and update the TV viewership data associated with this household.

Abstract translation: 用于确定家庭中多个人的电视观看活动的电视观众调查系统包括主设备和多个标签，每个标签被分配给个人。 在个人登录系统并开始观看电视之后，主设备反复与相应的标签进行通信，以累积表示个人电视观看活动的数据。 这样的数据可用于确定个人何时停止观看电视长时间，而不会退出系统，以及家庭成员在登录或退出系统后仍然观看电视。 主设备然后将累积的数据报告给远程服务器，远程服务器使用数据来确定个人是否符合电视观众调查系统定义的日志记录协议，并更新与该家庭相关的电视观众数据。
