  • Patent number: 11736751
    Abstract: Techniques for projecting household-level viewing events are described herein. Population data may be accessed including classes of a plurality of demographic attributes for households in a market. Representative household units (RHUs) may be generated, and the RHUs may be assigned a class for each of the demographic attributes and a quota based on the demographic attributes of a plurality of panelist households. Each of the panelist households may be assigned to one of the RHUs based on at least one panelist classes matching the classes for respective demographic attributes of the RHU, and the number of matching panelist households assigned to each of the RHU may be based on the quota. Panelist viewing data representing viewing events associated with the panelist household may be accessed. A report may be generated with the classes of the RHUs and the panelist viewing data of the assigned panelist households.

  • Patent number: 9965767
    Abstract: In general, systems, components, methods, and techniques for gathering, recording, and development of accurate user demographics attributed to accesses by client systems of webpage, web content, or other online resources is provided. For a given a subset of unique users having known demographics for a segment of traffic or general population, a demographic profile may be created for all users of the segment or population within a tolerable margin of error. Demographic data for unique machine identifications (IDs) may be assigned, aggregated, and derived from a single source, or multiple sources, such as panel data, beacon level surveys, cookie exchanges, and the overlay of profile cookies from other publishers.
