Patent number: 11889136Abstract: Example methods, apparatus, systems and articles of manufacture (e.g., physical storage media) to assign respondents to geographic locations for audience measurement are disclosed. Example apparatus disclosed herein are to determine a set of constraints based on aggregate values of demographic features associated with respective ones of the geographic locations. Disclosed example apparatus are also to construct a model to return probabilities that respective ones the respondents are associated with the respective ones of the geographic locations, the model to have a set of parameters, respective ones of the parameters to be associated with respective ones of the constraints. Disclosed example apparatus are further to evaluate the model based on values of the set of parameters and values of the demographic features for a first one of the respondents to determine a set of probabilities that the first respondent is to be assigned to respective ones of the geographic locations.Type: GrantFiled: September 19, 2022Date of Patent: January 30, 2024Assignee: The Nielsen Company (US), LLCInventors: Michael Sheppard, Edward Murphy, Chris Samuel Redino, Michael D.

Publication number: 20090193475Abstract: Systems and methods for deploying video content in a video player which enables context-specific actions and policies may comprise a video player operating in a web browser which receives a policy file or a hierarchy of policy files describing specific actions, such as displaying a text, image, link, or video, to be taken when a certain element is encountered or a condition is satisfied in a video. The video player may then receive a video and an accompanying cue file which describes elements within the vide. As the video player plays the video, the player processes the cue file and takes any actions dictated by corresponding policies. In this manner, individual video content may separated from policy decisions such as when to show links or advertisements, and related content to display.Type: ApplicationFiled: January 29, 2008Publication date: July 30, 2009Inventors: Corey Halverson, Joe Eldridge, Matt Kaplan, Dan Lovy, Gabor Vida, Paolo Farago, Tony MacDonell, Ian Shaw, Chris Samuel
