  • Patent number: 11341510
    Abstract: Webpage or other resource accesses by client systems may be recorded, and those accesses may be analyzed to develop audience measurement reports. At times, it may be desirable to segment those reports according to classes of client systems (e.g., work vs. home client systems). A given client system can be classed into one of the reporting classes based on one or more classes of network service providers that provide the client with access to a network. The recorded resource accesses and classes of the client systems can then be used to generate audience measurement reports that are segmented according to one or more of the client system classes.

  • Patent number: 10303703
    Abstract: A first data set associated with a first group of users is accessed. The first data set includes demographic data, online behavior data, and additional user data associated with the users in the first group. A second data set associated with a second group of users is accessed. The second data set includes demographic data and online behavior data but not additional user data associated with the users in the second group. One or more sets of matched users are determined based on the demographic data and online behavior data included in the first data set and the demographic data and online behavior data included in the second data set. Each set includes a user from the first group matched with a user from the second group. Based on the one or more sets of matched users, an augmented second data set that includes additional user data associated with the users in the second group is generated. One or more reports are generated based on the augmented second data set.

  • Patent number: 8560675
    Abstract: Projection weights may be configured to project usage of a first set of resources by users of a first group of clients systems to usage of the first set of resources by users in a larger group of users. Users of the first group of client systems may be a sample of a larger group of users that access resources on the network using client systems. The projection weights may be determined based on a first set of usage data and a second set of usage data. The first set of usage data may be determined based on information received from monitoring applications installed on a first group of client systems. The second set of usage data may be determined based on information received from a second group of client systems sent as a result of beacon instructions included with a second set of resources accessed by the second group of client systems.

  • Patent number: 8533178
    Abstract: A system includes a plurality of client devices and a server system. Each of the client devices is configured to implement at least one web browser and a panel application. The web browser is configured to access a plurality of different web pages that each provide search capability and are each configured to display search suggestions in response to character sequences entered by a user when using the search capability. The panel application is configured to send indications of displayed search suggestions and corresponding character sequences to a server system. The server system is configured to generate, based on the received indications, a data structure that correlates character sequences to lists of phrases.
