Publication number: 20230283822Abstract: Methods, apparatus, systems, and articles of manufacture are disclosed to automate the recording of media for signature creation. Reference signature requests are received from an employee or user. The reference signature request is distributed to automated capture tool circuitry, which plays the relevant media for a meter and provides a status update. When a signature is created, a status update indicates whether it is considered to be a reference signature. Prioritization circuitry assigns and updates a priority for each of the requests according to the priority of other requests, the status updates, and a priority rule set. Reference signature requests with the highest priority are assigned to automated capture tool circuitry for completion before lower priority requests.Type: ApplicationFiled: February 23, 2023Publication date: September 7, 2023Inventors: Albert T. Borawski, Shailendra Paranjape, Nigel Smith, Eric M. Rosell, John Ferrell, Jessica Salazar, Morgan Nibert, David Christie

Patent number: 11736750Abstract: Example apparatus disclosed herein are to receive a log file, compare a first media monitor identification associated with an audio signature, a second media monitor identification associated with media metadata, and a third media monitor identification associated with event metadata. Disclosed example apparatus are also to determine if a first timestamp associated with the audio signature is within a time period, wherein the time period begins with a second timestamp associated with the media metadata and ends with a third timestamp associated with the event metadata. Disclosed example apparatus are also to validate that the audio signature satisfies a threshold for being stored as a reference signature based on at least one of the media metadata, the event metadata, the first timestamp, the second timestamp, or the third timestamp. Disclosed example apparatus are also to generate the reference signature including assigning the media metadata to the audio signature.Type: GrantFiled: December 30, 2021Date of Patent: August 22, 2023Assignee: The Nielsen Company (US), LLCInventors: Adam Schenker, Nigel Smith, Shailendra Paranjape, Vinay Chauhan
