  • Publication number: 20230244732
    Abstract: Techniques and/or apparatuses receive an indication that a user has entered a rating of first media content, determine, responsive to the indication that the user has entered the rating of the first media content, whether the user consumed the first media content prior to entering the rating. Responsive to a determination that the user did not consume the first media content prior to entering the rating, the techniques and/or apparatuses provide an indication that the user did not consume the first media content prior to entering the rating or weight the rating based on the determination that the user did not consume the first media content prior to entering the rating of the first media content.

  • Patent number: 11620347
    Abstract: A method (300) and apparatus (110, 150) collect and upload implicit analytic data. The method can include storing (320) dependency rules corresponding explicit events to implicit events. The method can include collecting (330) and storing (340) implicit event data corresponding to implicit events. The method can include receiving (350) an explicit event at the device. The method can include evaluating (360) dependency rules corresponding to the explicit event. The method can include identifying (370) a relevant subset of implicit event data corresponding to the explicit event based on evaluating the dependency rules. The method can include uploading (390) the relevant subset of the implicit event data and explicit event data corresponding to the explicit event.

  • Patent number: 9131015
    Abstract: A method includes storing data received at a first server to a first file and storing data received at a second server to a second file, where the data in the two files are substantially similar. The two files are distinct, independent files. The first server provides a copy of the first file to the second server to store. The first server then stores additional data to the first file, while the second server maintains the copy of the first file unchanged. The second server may also provide a copy of the second file to the first server to store and continues to store additional data to the second file, while maintaining the copy of the second file on the first server unchanged. Event reports may then be generated using the various files, which provide high availability due to the above method and corresponding system arrangement.
