    摘要: Systems and methods for tracking viewing behavior of advertisements on home entertainment systems. A processing device associated with the home entertainment system determines that an advertisement is being displayed. For example, the processing device can recognize an identifying marker embedded in the television signal that carries the advertisement. Alternatively, an electronic program guide supplemented with information identifying advertisements can be used to determine that a channel tuned and displayed at the home entertainment system carries a particular advertisement. The processing device generates viewing behavior information that identifies the advertisement and stores the information locally. The information is periodically transmitted to a central clearinghouse for storage and distribution to advertisers or other interested parties. The clearinghouse receives viewing behavior information from a plurality of home entertainment systems, which represents and describes the advertisements being viewed, the origin of the advertisements, and the way in which the advertisements are viewed.

    摘要: Systems and methods for providing and tracking viewing behavior of home entertainment systems. A viewer event such as tuning to a selected television channel, occurs at a home entertainment system. The event is coupled with information describing the programming viewed on the home entertainment system and is stored locally. The information describing the programming is obtained from an electronic program guide. Subsequent viewer events are also coupled with information describing the programming viewed and stored locally. The resulting viewing behavior that is stored locally is transmitted to a remote clearinghouse for storage. The remote site receives a great diversity specific information from a plurality of home entertainment systems, which represents and describes, in any desired degree of specificity, the programming that the public is viewing, the origin of the programming, and the way in which the programming is being viewed.
