Abstract: Methods and apparatus are disclosed to identify usage of quick response codes. An example method includes inspecting a received request to identify a QR code associated with the request, the request being received from a device in response to an instruction included in the QR code. The example method further includes storing a record indicating access to the identified QR code. The example method further includes determining a redirect universal resource locator (URL) associated with the identified QR code. The example method further includes transmitting a redirect message to the device, the redirect message to instruct the device to navigate to the redirect URL.

Abstract: Systems, methods, apparatus, and articles of manufacture to measure mobile device usage are disclosed. An example method includes: collecting, at an audience measurement entity, a first public debug log from a first device of a first type, the first public debug log including first debug messages that are stored in the first public debug log by a plurality of first applications executed by a first processor of the first device; collecting, at the audience measurement entity, a second public debug log from a second device of a second type different than the first type, the second public debug log including second debug messages that are stored in the second public debug log by a plurality of second applications executed by a second processor of the second device; and determining, using a processor at the audience measurement entity, a media usage pattern based on the first and second debug messages.

Abstract: Methods and apparatus are disclosed to identify usage of mobile devices are disclosed. An example method includes processing an image received from a mobile device of a panelist to identify text within the image, the image representing a display of the mobile device. A first interface displayed by the mobile device is identified based on the identified text. The panelist associated with the mobile device is credited as having viewed the identified interface.

Abstract: Systems, methods, apparatus, and articles of manufacture to measure mobile device usage are disclosed. An example method to determine mobile device usage includes filtering, with a processor, a debug log file stored in the device to obtain debug file entries representative of device usage information, the debug log file having been modified by at least one of an operating system of the device or a device application, and sending, to a server, a filtered log file based on filtering the debug log file.

Abstract: Methods and apparatus are disclosed to identify usage of mobile devices are disclosed. An example method includes detecting user interaction with a mobile device. An example method includes identifying an application in a foreground of a display of the mobile device is identified. Whether the application in the foreground is an application of interest is determined. An image representing the display of the mobile device is captured if the application in the foreground is an application of interest. The image is transmitted to a monitoring data collection site.

Abstract: A telecommunications network element is provided that includes a plurality of software components configured to communicate with one another in a service-oriented architecture. In another embodiment, a network element is provided that includes a service provider that is operable to provide a service and to send a register message to register the service. The register message includes a service provided by the service provider and an identifier used to communicate with the service provider to invoke the service. The network element also includes a service registry and service client. The service registry is operable to receive and store and register message from the service provider. The service client is operable to send a find message to locate the identifier of the service provider in the service registry and to send an invoke message to invoke the service of the service provider.

Abstract: A network that uses XML-based resource data structures. The network comprises: i) a plurality of network elements; 2) a configuration manager for managing and configuring the plurality of network elements; and iii) a plurality of resource data structures suitable for configuring the plurality of network elements of the network. Each of the resource data structures is implemented using extensible Markup Language (XML) code.

Abstract: An apparatus for use in a communication network comprises a state machine capable of transitioning between a plurality of states. The plurality of states comprises at least two concurrent states. The state machine operates in the at least two concurrent states concurrently. Each of the concurrent states may be associated with a task. At least a portion of the task associated with one of the concurrent states may be performed concurrently with at least a portion of the task associated with another of the concurrent states when the state machine operates in the concurrent states.

Abstract: A method for providing a dynamic fade timer for use in a wireless network is provided that includes generating a timer message based on predetermined parameters and providing the timer message to a wireless communication device. The timer message includes fade timer information for the wireless communication device. The wireless communication device is operable to set a fade timer in the wireless communication device. The length of the fade timer is based on the fade timer information.
