SYSTEMS, METHODS, AND APPARATUSES FOR AUDIENCE METRIC DETERMINATION
20230063587 · 2023-03-02 ·

Methods, systems, and apparatuses for audience metric determination are described herein. An audience segment may be targeted for delivery of content. A clustering algorithm may be used to categorize a quantity of users or devices into subsets based on a propensity to consume, present or output a particular type of content, and a quantity of time to output the particular type of content. A weight may be assigned to each subset based on its relevance to other subsets, such as based on data variance, e.g., on a distance to a midpoint of a specific subset of the subsets. An index parameter may be determined for the datasets, e.g., based on each weight for each subset, and data may be generated that reflects a ranking of content delivery spots for delivery of content to the audience segment.

METHODS, APPARATUS, AND SYSTEMS TO COLLECT AUDIENCE MEASUREMENT DATA
20230115894 · 2023-04-13 ·

Methods, apparatus, and systems to collect audience measurement data are disclosed. An example system includes at least one non-transitory machine readable storage medium including instructions which, when executed, cause a machine to at least: generate behavior data developed during a first time period based on first media data and user data corresponding to one or more users of a household, the user data to include demographic information for the one or more users associated with the household, identify second media data during a second time period different than the first time period, the second media data identified without identification of the one or more users of the household, and associate the demographic information to the second media data based on the behavior data generated during the first time period associated with the one or more users.

Methods and apparatus for optimizing station reference fingerprint loading using reference watermarks

Methods, apparatus, systems and articles of manufacture are disclosed selectively generating and storing hashed reference signatures. An example method disclosed herein determining whether watermark coverage of a first media segment satisfies a dropout constraint, the first media segment corresponding to a first monitoring time interval of a media source feed and, when the watermark coverage of the first media segment does not satisfy the dropout constraint hashing first media signatures associated with the first media segment to generate corresponding first hashed signatures and generating first reference data for the first media segment, the first reference data including the first hashed signatures and the first media signatures. The example method further includes, when the watermark coverage of the first media segment satisfies the dropout constraint, generating second reference data for the first media segment, the second reference data including the first media signatures.

ADDRESSABLE MEASUREMENT FRAMEWORK
20230106609 · 2023-04-06 ·

Example methods, apparatus, systems and articles of manufacture to implement an addressable measurement framework are disclosed. Example apparatus disclosed herein perform a common homes analysis of provider data and panel data to determine a coverage footprint associated with the provider data, the provider data including at least one of return path data reported by a plurality of set-top boxes or automatic content recognition data reported by a plurality of smart media devices, and the panel data reported by media device meters. Disclosed example apparatus also weight a portion of the provider data based on the common homes analysis, weight a portion of the panel data based on the common homes analysis, and calculate an addressable advertisement rating based on the weighted portion of the provider data and the weighted portion of the panel data.
