Patent number: 11038970Abstract: Mobile usage data representing the access of one or more resources on a network by mobile devices is accessed. The mobile usage data includes information received from mobile devices as a result of beacon instructions included with the one or more resources. A first set of data representing information about accesses to the one or more resources by mobile devices with persistent beacon cookies is determined. A second set of data representing information about accesses to the one or more resources by mobile devices with non-persistent beacon cookies is determined. One or more adjustment factors are determined based on the first set of data. A count of unique visitors accessing the one or more resources from the mobile devices is determined based on a count of accesses by the mobile devices with persistent beacon cookies and a count of accesses by the mobile devices with non-persistent beacon cookies adjusted by the one or more adjustment factors.Type: GrantFiled: November 26, 2019Date of Patent: June 15, 2021Assignee: Comscore, Inc.Inventors: Frank Eugene Pecjak, Brian Pugh, Ramzi Joseph Nasr, Balakrishnan Vinayak Nair, Kris Johnson

Patent number: 10489801Abstract: Usage data representing the access of a network entity by a plurality of client devices each associated with one or more Internet Protocol (IP) addresses of a plurality of IP addresses is initially accessed. Then a set of static IP addresses of the plurality of IP addresses is determined based on the usage data. A first count of static IP addresses of the set of static IP addresses that are all associated with mobile traffic or that are all associated with non-mobile traffic is determined. A second count of static IP addresses of the set of static IP addresses that are associated with the mobile traffic and the non-mobile traffic is also determined. An overlap factor is determined based on a ratio between the first count of static IP addresses and the second count of static IP addresses. Based on the overlap factor, a total count of unique static IP addresses via which the network entity was accessed is finally determined.Type: GrantFiled: May 6, 2018Date of Patent: November 26, 2019Assignee: Comscore, Inc.Inventors: Frank Eugene Pecjak, Brian Pugh, Ramzi Joseph Nasr, Balakrishnan Vinayak Nair, Kris Johnson

Patent number: 10032179Abstract: Usage data representing the access of a set of resources on a network is accessed. The usage data is based at least in part on information received from client systems sent as a result of beacon instructions included with the set of resources. First and second sets of usage data representing access by client systems classified as a first type and a second type, respectively, are determined based on the accessed usage data. Counts of unique visitors accessing the network resources from each of the first and second types of client systems, based on the first and sets of usage data, respectively, are each determined. A total count of unique visitors accessing the network resources from the first and second types of client systems is determined based on data representing the usage overlap of devices of the first type with devices of the second type.Type: GrantFiled: August 29, 2016Date of Patent: July 24, 2018Assignee: comScore, Inc.Inventors: Frank Eugene Pecjak, Brian Pugh, Ramzi Joseph Nasr, Balakrishnan Vinayak Nair, Kris Johnson

Patent number: 9866901Abstract: Tuning data representing a television viewing event associated with a particular household is accessed. Household member data representing information on individual members of the particular household is accessed. Viewing profile data representing information on individual members of other households regarding viewership by the individual members of the other households is accessed. Fractional viewership values for the individual members of the particular household are determined based on the tuning data, the household member data, and the viewing profile data. Household viewership data is determined based on the fractional viewership values.Type: GrantFiled: June 1, 2016Date of Patent: January 9, 2018Assignee: comScore, Inc.Inventors: Frank Eugene Pecjak, Ramzi Joseph Nasr, Magid M.

Patent number: 9848239Abstract: The present disclosure describes techniques for projecting person-level viewership from household-level tuning events. One example method includes accessing tuning data representing television tuning events associated with particular households; accessing panelist viewing data representing television viewing events associated with panelists; and for at least one tuning event represented by the tuning data: accessing household member data associated with the tuning event; determining a member minutes value associated with each individual member of the particular household for the tuning event; and determining a fractional viewership value for each individual member of the particular household associated with the tuning event.Type: GrantFiled: February 20, 2015Date of Patent: December 19, 2017Assignee: comScore, Inc.Inventors: Frank Eugene Pecjak, Ramzi Joseph Nasr, Magid M.

Patent number: 9830607Abstract: Panel and census data representing accesses by sets of users with multiple types of media platforms to media content associated with multiple media entities is accessed. An overlap in the accessed panel data that represents users who have accessed media content associated with the media entity with more than one of the multiple types of media platforms is determined. Based on the accessed panel data, the determined overlap in the accessed panel data, and the accessed census data, an overlap function that estimates an overlap in the accessed census data is derived. The derived overlap function is applied to census data associated with a media entity to estimate an overlap in the census data associated with the media entity. The overlap in the census data represents users who have accessed media content associated with the media entity with more than one of the multiple types of media platforms.Type: GrantFiled: June 27, 2016Date of Patent: November 28, 2017Assignee: comScore, Inc.Inventors: Frank Eugene Pecjak, Ramzi Joseph Nasr, Christopher Shea Haarstick, Ying Li
