  • Patent number: 11627059
    Abstract: Methods, apparatus, systems and articles of manufacture are disclosed to coordinate receipt of monitoring information. An example method includes, performing a lookup using a session identifier of a monitoring message received at a load balancer, the session identifier including an impression processor identifier, the monitoring message requesting an update to a session, determining whether a difference between a time of last activity of the session and a time of receipt of the received message exceeds a threshold duration, and in response to determining that the difference does not exceed the threshold duration, updating the time of last activity of the session to the time of receipt of the received message, and routing the received message to the impression processor, the impression processor to credit a media presentation identified in a payload of the received message.
    Type: Grant

  • Patent number: 10608904
    Abstract: Methods, apparatus, systems and articles of manufacture are disclosed to coordinate receipt of monitoring information. An example method includes, in response to a first received message requesting a first session identifier, creating, by executing an instruction with a processor of a load balancer, a first session identifier including an impression processor identifier. The impression processor identifier is to identify an impression processor to process subsequent messages that include the first session identifier. The first session identifier is transmitted to a media device to be used by the media device when transmitting the subsequent messages. The first received message is routed to the impression processor identified by the first session identifier. The impression processor is to credit a media presentation identified in a payload of the first received message.
