摘要: Methods and systems for setting up, promoting, operating, maintaining and/or terminating a research operation carried out with the use of a portable user appliance (PUA) are disclosed. An example method to collect user feedback includes detecting, via a portable device worn by a user, an external environmental stimulus fixedly located proximate to a location of the portable device. The example method includes presenting via the portable device a survey sent to the portable device from a mobile telecommunication device carried by the user. The survey requests feedback associated with the environmental stimulus. The example method also includes receiving a user response associated with the survey at the portable device. The example method further includes sending the user response from the portable device to the mobile telecommunication device carried by the user.

摘要: Example apparatus disclosed herein include a watermark detector to detect watermarks in a media signal. Disclosed example apparatus also include a controller to operate the watermark detector to (1) detect a first watermark in the media signal, and (2) cycle between sleep intervals and active intervals based on a repetition rate of the watermarks in the media signal to perform a detection operation for a second watermark at a second location in the media signal relative to a first location of the first watermark in the media signal. In some examples, the controller is to search a buffer of prior detected watermark symbols to detect a third watermark at a third location prior to the second location in the media signal in response to the second watermark not being detected at the second location in the media signal.

摘要: Methods, apparatus and articles of manufacture for research data gathering are disclosed. An example apparatus disclosed herein is to detect whether the apparatus is powered by an internal power source or an external power source. The example apparatus is also to, in response to detecting the apparatus is powered by the internal power source, perform first processing on a received audio signal to determine audio data to store in storage of the apparatus. The example apparatus is further to, in response to detecting the apparatus is powered by the external power source, perform second processing on the stored audio data to recover the code, the second processing different from the first processing.

摘要: Methods, apparatus and articles of manufacture for research data gathering are disclosed. Example apparatus disclosed herein to recover a code from media include memory including computer readable instructions, and a processor to execute the instructions to at least process the media based on a sample corresponding to a first window of time to determine whether the code is recoverable from the media using the first window of time, and in response to determining that the code is not recoverable from the media using the first window of time, process the media again based on a sample corresponding to a second window of time larger than the first window of time to recover the code from the media.

摘要: Methods, apparatus, systems and articles of manufacture (e.g., physical storage media) to implement power efficient detection of watermarks in media signals are disclosed. Example watermark detection methods disclosed herein include initiating a first search interval in which to attempt to detect watermarks in a media signal. Disclosed example watermark detection methods also initiating a sleep mode upon expiration of the first search interval in response to no valid watermarks being detected during the first search interval. Disclosed example watermark detection methods further include, upon expiration of a first sleep interval after initiation of the sleep mode, initiating a second search interval.

摘要: Methods, apparatus, systems and articles of manufacture (e.g., physical storage media) to implement power efficient detection of watermarks in media signals are disclosed. Example watermark detection methods disclosed herein include operating a watermark detector in a first operating mode to search for a first watermark in a media signal. Such disclosed example methods also include, in response to detecting the first watermark, determining whether the first watermark satisfies a first condition. Such disclosed example methods further include, in response to determining the first watermark satisfies the first condition, operating the watermark detector in a second operating mode in which the watermark detector cycles between a sleep interval and an active interval to detect a second watermark at a second location in the media signal relative to a first location of the first watermark in the media signal.
