    Abstract: Methods, apparatus, and articles of manufacture for reducing exposure crediting errors due to spillover in a media monitoring system are disclosed. An example method includes determining if first media monitoring data provided from a first meter identifies a same media as second media monitoring data provided from a second meter. If the first media monitoring data identifies the same media as the second media monitoring data, the example method includes detecting if spillover occurred by determining if an absolute value of a difference between a first timestamp associated with the first media monitoring data and a second timestamp associated with the second media monitoring data is less than a threshold. If spillover occurred, the example method includes determining which of the first media monitoring data or the second media monitoring data to credit as a media exposure.

    Abstract: An audience measurement system generates signatures of unknown pieces of content viewed by panel members, and generates multiplexed reference signatures of known pieces of content. The signatures of the unknown pieces of content are stored and transmitted to a central processing site, where they are compared with the reference signatures for their identification. A signature comparator finds matches between the signatures of the unknown and the known contents.

    Abstract: A system for automatically monitoring the viewing activities of television signals, comprising a measurement device, in which the television signals are adapted to be communicated to the measurement device and the TV set, making the measurement device receive the same signals as the TV set; the measurement device is adapted to extract a fingerprint data from the television signals displayed to the viewers, making the measurement device measures the same video signals as those being seen by the viewers; a data center to which the fingerprint data is transferred; and a fingerprint matcher to which the television signals which the viewers are selected to watch are sent to be monitored through the measurement device. The system according to the present invention does not require any change to the other devices already in place before the measurement device is introduced into the connections.

    Abstract: Various aspects can be implemented to provide a phone-based system for identifying broadcast audio streams and broadcast audio sources. In general, one aspect can be a method that includes obtaining a broadcast stream that includes one or more broadcast segments, and associating each broadcast segment with a broadcast timestamp. The method also includes receiving an audio sample through a user-initiated telephone connection for a predetermined period of time. The method further includes comparing the received audio sample with a database comprising a plurality of pre-processed audio samples, and obtaining a matching pre-processed audio sample that most closely correlates to the received audio sample. Other implementations of this aspect include corresponding systems, apparatus, and computer program products.
