20120158954 | METHODS AND APPARATUS TO DETERMINE IMPRESSIONS USING DISTRIBUTED DEMOGRAPHIC INFORMATION - Example methods and apparatus to determine media impressions using distributed demographic information are disclosed. A disclosed example method to monitor media content exposure involves receiving, at a first internet domain, a first request from a client computer, the first request indicative of access to the media at the client computer, sending, from the first internet domain, a response to the client computer, the response to instruct the client computer to send a second request to an intermediary associated with a sub-domain of a second internet domain, the second request to be indicative of the access to the media at the client computer, the intermediary to transmit an indication of the second request to an entity of the second internet domain, and logging an impression of the media. | 06-21-2012 |
20120239809 | METHODS AND APPARATUS TO DETERMINE IMPRESSIONS USING DISTRIBUTED DEMOGRAPHIC INFORMATION - Example methods and apparatus to determine impressions using distributed demographic information are disclosed. A disclosed example method to monitor media exposure involves receiving, at a first internet domain, a first request from a client computer, the first request indicative of access to the media at the client computer. The example method also involves determining if the client computer is known. If the client computer is not known, a response is sent from the first internet domain to the client computer, the response to instruct the client computer to send a second request to a second internet domain, the second request to be indicative of access to the media at the client computer. If the client computer is known, an impression of the media is logged. | 09-20-2012 |

20130145022 | METHODS AND APPARATUS TO DETERMINE MEDIA IMPRESSIONS - Examples to determine media impressions are disclosed. An example method includes detecting a cookie identifier established by a database proprietor at a computing device, determining an impression of media, wherein the impression occurs after the cookie identifier is established, determining a first panelist identifier associated with the impression based on the cookie identifier, determining a second panelist identifier associated with the impression based on determination of a user identity by a panelist meter associated with the computing device, and storing an adjustment factor determined by comparing the first panelist identifier and the second panelist identifier. | 06-06-2013 |
20130148895 | METHODS, APPARATUS, AND ARTICLES OF MANUFACTURE TO MEASURE GEOGRAPHICAL FEATURES USING AN IMAGE OF A GEOGRAPHICAL LOCATION - Methods, apparatus, and articles of manufacture to measure geographical features using an image of a geographical location are disclosed. An example method includes dividing, with a processor, an image of a geographic area of interest into a plurality of geographical zones, the geographical zones being representative of different geographical areas having approximately equal physical areas, measuring, with the processor, a geographical feature represented in the image for corresponding ones of the plurality of geographical zones, storing descriptions for the geographical zones in a computer memory, and storing values representative of the geographical feature of the geographical zones. | 06-13-2013 |
20140250223 | METHODS AND APPARATUS TO DETERMINE IMPRESSIONS USING DISTRIBUTED DEMOGRAPHIC INFORMATION - Methods and apparatus to determine media impressions using distributed demographic information are disclosed. An method includes sending to a client computer, via a processor serving a first internet domain, a response to a first request, the first request sent to the first internet domain and indicative of access to media at the client computer, the response to instruct the client computer to send a second request to an intermediary serving a sub-domain of a second internet domain, the second request to be indicative of the access to the media at the client computer, wherein the intermediary is to transmit first data about the second request to a data collection server of an audience measurement entity and second data about the second request to an entity of the second internet domain and logging an impression of the media. | 09-04-2014 |
20150016730 | METHODS, APPARATUS, AND ARTICLES OF MANUFACTURE TO MEASURE GEOGRAPHICAL FEATURES USING AN IMAGE OF A GEOGRAPHICAL LOCATION - Methods, apparatus, and articles of manufacture to measure geographical features using an image of a geographical location are disclosed. An example method includes dividing an image of a geographic area of interest into geographical zones, the geographical zones being representative of different physical geographical areas; modifying boundaries of a first one of the geographical zones to more closely conform to an observable landmark or a geographical location observable by a person located in the first one of the geographical zones; storing descriptions for the geographical zones in a computer memory based on the modified boundaries of the first one of the geographical zones; and storing a value representative of a geographical feature represented in the image for the first one of the geographical zones. | 01-15-2015 |
