  • Patent number: 11991404
    Abstract: Example methods, apparatus, systems and articles of manufacture to determine synthetic total audience ratings are disclosed. Disclosed example apparatus are to access census data including census viewing statements associated with media content presented by census devices, access panel data including panelist viewing statements associated with media content presented by panel devices, the panel data including weights to represent numbers of individuals to be represented by corresponding panelists, determine scores representing similarities between ones of a first group of census devices determined to having matching panel devices in the panel data and ones of a second group of census devices determined to be unmatched in the panel data, and assign the census devices to the panel devices based on the scores and the weights.
    Type: Grant

  • Patent number: 11985368
    Abstract: Example methods, apparatus, systems and articles of manufacture to determine synthetic total audience ratings are disclosed. Disclosed example apparatus are to access census data including census viewing statements associated with media content presented by census devices, access panel data including panelist viewing statements associated with media content presented by panel devices, the panel data including weights to represent numbers of individuals to be represented by corresponding panelists, divide the weights for respective ones of the panelists into respective sets of split weights, and assign the census viewing statements to at least subsets of the sets of split weights to determine the audience ratings for the population, the assignment of the census viewing statements to the at least subsets of the sets of split weights based on a reach constraint.

  • Patent number: 10805729
    Abstract: A system of crosstalk cancelled zone creation in audio playback comprising: main transducers emitting stereo soundwaves of an audio playback; a local system comprising at least two or more close-proximity-transducers (CPTs), each is arranged proximal to one of left and right-side ear canals of a listener. Each of the CPTs comprises: a position tracking device for tracking the relative positions of the main transducers to the CPT and the other CPTs; a control unit for receiving the relative position data from the position tracking device and generating control signal according to the relative position data for the generation of crosstalk cancellation (XTC) soundwaves. Each of the CPTs is configured to generate XTC soundwaves corresponding to the stereo soundwaves arriving at the corresponding ear of the listener. The generated XTC soundwaves are synchronized with the audio playback and with respect to the relative positions.
