  • Patent number: 11887133
    Abstract: An example apparatus includes at least one memory, instructions, and at least one processor to execute the instructions to generate electronic mobile measurement data based on network communications received from first client devices, select attributes associated with the electronic mobile measurement data to include in a model, generate the model based on the attributes and a first portion of the electronic mobile measurement data, determine a percentage of a second portion of the electronic mobile measurement data that the model correctly associates with corresponding first users of the first client devices, and when the percentage satisfies a threshold determine: (a) when a second user operating a second client device is a primary user, and (b) when the user operating the second client device is a third user, and associate demographic information of the second user with the electronic mobile measurement data to reduce a misattribution error.

  • Publication number: 20230319356
    Abstract: An example system comprising at least one memory, programmable circuitry, and instructions to cause the programmable circuitry to obtain first time information corresponding to one or more first times that a panelist accessed first media via a television, obtain second time information corresponding to one or more second times that a household accessed second media via an over-the-top device, the second time information matching the first time information and associated with corrected demographic information of members of the household, determine that a first genre of the first media matches a second genre of the second media, determine that a member of the household accessed the second media via the over-the-top device based on historical media access events of the panelist, and attribute the access of the second media to the member of the household to create a corrected demographic impression record.

  • Patent number: 11068928
    Abstract: An example method includes determining a number of impressions that occurred on mobile devices and that are attributable to a first demographic group; determining whether a size of a first audience that corresponds to the first demographic group satisfies a threshold, where the first audience includes panelists in an audience measurement panel; determining whether a size of a second audience satisfies the threshold when the size of the first audience does not satisfy the threshold, where the second audience includes panelists in the audience measurement panel that correspond to a second demographic group and the first audience is a subset of the second audience; and calculating impressions attributable to a market segment and to the second demographic group when the second size of the second audience satisfies the threshold based on a portion of the second audience that belongs to the market segment.

  • Patent number: 11037178
    Abstract: An example apparatus includes at least one processor and first memory comprising computer readable instructions that, when executed, cause the at least one processor to log an impression in second memory at an audience measurement entity based on a communication received from a computing device. The example computer readable instructions, when executed, cause the at least one processor to determine that a primary user of the computing device is not the user operating the computing device when a first probability score for the primary user does not satisfy a threshold, and in response to determining that the primary user is not the user operating the computing device, identify one of a plurality of secondary users as the user operating the computing device. The example computer readable instructions, when executed, cause the at least one processor to store demographic information of the user operating the computing device.

  • Patent number: 11012746
    Abstract: An example metrics manager determines a first audience reach for a television audience, the television audience representative of audience members exposed to a media campaign via television media delivery, determine a second audience reach for a digital audience, the digital audience representative of audience members exposed to the media campaign via digital media delivery. An example deduplicator obtains an overlap multiplier based on the media campaign, the overlap multiplier is a ratio of (1) a product of a panel duplication reach and a did-not-view reach and (2) a product of a television panel reach and a digital panel reach, and determine a duplication factor for the media campaign based on the first audience reach, the second audience reach and the overlap multiplier. An example audience manager determines a total audience for the media campaign based on the first audience reach, the second audience reach and the duplication factor.
