Abstract: Methods, apparatus, systems and articles of manufacture to monitor media are disclosed. An example apparatus includes memory; computer readable instructions; and processor circuitry to execute the computer readable instructions to: generate a plurality of errors by comparing (a) a plurality of watermarks adjusted by offsets and (b) reference data, the adjusted watermarks corresponding to watermark data with inaccurate timing information for media; identify an offset of the offsets based on the plurality of errors; and adjust timing information of a watermark of the watermarks using the offset to increase an accuracy of the timing information.

IPC: G06Q30/02

Abstract: An example apparatus includes memory and at least one processor to execute first instructions. The first instructions cause the at least one processor to send second instructions from a first server to a client device. The second instructions cause the client device to send first messages to a second server at intervals based on a presentation of media via the client device. The second instructions cause the client device to send a second message to the second server based on a skip request associated with the presentation of the media via the client device. The first instructions further cause the at least one processor to log impressions corresponding to the first messages and the second message, and to determine a duration impression for the media based on the logged impressions. The duration impression identifies the portions of the media that were presented at the client device.

Abstract: An example apparatus to collect distributed user information for media impressions and search terms includes means for collecting first and second identifiers based on use of an application that does not employ cookies, the first identifier identifying at least one of a device or a user of the device to a first database proprietor that stores first user information associated with the first identifier, and the second identifier identifying the at least one of the device or the user of the device to a second database proprietor that stores second user information associated with the second identifier, and means for sending identifiers to: send the first identifier to a first server associated with the first database proprietor, send the second identifier to a second server associated with the second database proprietor, and send to a data collection server at least one of a media identifier indicative of media accessed via the application at the device or a search term used via the application at the device.
