Abstract:
Systems and methods for monitoring usage of media data using a monitoring device (12), processor (14), storage device (16) and a communication device (18) at user locations in which the presence or absence of media data in monitored data. Where media is present, it is separated from the monitored data and used to produce data representing usage of media data.
Abstract:
Methods and systems for tracking movements of participants in a market research study, for example, within a commercial establishment, are provided. The methods and systems employ portable monitors carried on the persons of the participants to gather location data.
Abstract:
Methods and systems for tracking movements of participants in a market research study, for example, outside retail establishments, are provided. The methods and systems employ portable monitors (32, 350, 400, 410) carried on the persons of the participants to gather location data.
Abstract:
Methods and systems for setting up, promoting, operating, maintaining and/or terminating a research operation carried out with the use of a PUA are disclosed.
Abstract:
The present invention concerns methods and systems for gathering data concerning usage of media data provided from a predetermined receiver to a user. First data concerning usage of the media data is gathered by means of a portage monitor carried on the person of the user. Second data concerning usage of media data by the predetermined receiver is gathered by a monitoring system separate from the portage monitor, the second data corresponding to at least a portion of the first data. Audience measurement data is produced based on the first and second data.
Abstract:
Systems, methods and devices for gathering data concerning exposure of predetermined survey participants to media displays are provided. A portable monitor is arranged to receive certain types of terrestrial- based signals, and in some specific cases, satellite-based signals, and to use such signals to generate location data indicative of a location of the portable monitor. The location data and stored media display data is analyzed to evaluate the survey participant's exposure to one or more media displays.
