20120005213 | METHODS AND APPARATUS TO OBTAIN ANONYMOUS AUDIENCE MEASUREMENT DATA FROM NETWORK SERVER DATA FOR PARTICULAR DEMOGRAPHIC AND USAGE PROFILES - Methods and apparatus to obtain anonymous audience measurement data from network server data for particular demographic and usage profiles are disclosed. An example method to provide anonymous audience measurement data to an audience measurement entity disclosed herein comprises obtaining a demographic profile and a network usage profile, sampling customer data stored in a customer database not accessible by the audience measurement entity to generate a customer sample representative of the demographic profile and the network usage profile without customer intervention, the customer sample including customer identification information, processing log data obtained from a network server not accessible by the audience measurement entity using the customer identification information to determine audience measurement data associated with customers in the customer sample, and removing the customer identification information from the audience measurement data to prepare the anonymous audience measurement data for the audience measurement entity. | 01-05-2012 |
20120042005 | SYSTEMS, METHODS, AND APPARATUS TO MONITOR MOBILE INTERNET ACTIVITY - Systems, methods, and apparatus to monitor mobile Internet activity are disclosed. An example method comprises receiving a request for Internet content on a port of a proxy, the request originating from a mobile device transmitting requests via a cellular wireless access point; associating the request for Internet content with a mobile device based on the first port; requesting content from an Internet content provider identified in the request for Internet content, the Internet content provider being different than the proxy; and transmitting the content. | 02-16-2012 |
20120042367 | SYSTEMS, METHODS, AND APPARATUS TO MONITOR MOBILE INTERNET ACTIVITY - Systems, methods, and apparatus to monitor mobile Internet activity are disclosed. An example method comprises determining if an application identified by an identifier of a content request from a client device supports authentication; transmitting content identified by the content request to the client device if the identifier of the content request identifies an application that supports authentication; and storing an identifier of the content requested by the content request in association with the client device. | 02-16-2012 |

An example method to provide anonymous audience measurement data to an audience measurement entity disclosed herein comprises obtaining a demographic profile and a network usage profile, sampling customer data stored in a customer database not accessible by the audience measurement entity to generate a customer sample representative of the demographic profile and the network usage profile without customer intervention, the customer sample including customer identification information, processing log data obtained from a network server not accessible by the audience measurement entity using the customer identification information to determine audience measurement data associated with customers in the customer sample, and removing the customer identification information from the audience measurement data to prepare the anonymous audience measurement data for the audience measurement entity. | 02-07-2013 |
20140036687 | SYSTEMS, METHODS, AND APPARATUS TO MONITOR MOBILE INTERNET ACTIVITY - Systems, methods, and apparatus to monitor mobile Internet activity are disclosed. An example method comprises determining, with a processor, whether a device is communicatively coupled to a WiFi network, the WiFi network identified by a Service Set Identifier. Whether proxy settings are configured on the device in association with the WiFi network is identified. Registration information is transmitted from the device to a registrar if the proxy settings are not configured, the registration information comprising a classification of the WiFi network and the Service Set Identifier. The proxy settings of the WiFi network are configured based on instructions received from the registrar, the instructions to cause the device to transmit network communications using the proxy settings when communicatively coupled to the WiFi network. | 02-06-2014 |
20150058958 | SYSTEMS, METHODS, AND APPARATUS TO MONITOR MOBILE INTERNET ACTIVITY - Systems, methods, and apparatus to monitor mobile Internet activity are disclosed. An example method comprises determining if a media request originated from a desktop computer or a mobile device by inspecting a user agent identifier of the media request. The media request is blocked if the media request originated from the desktop computer, the blocking to prevent the media request originating from the desktop computer from affecting a media exposure monitoring result. If the media request originated from the mobile device, an identifier of the media requested by the media request in association with the mobile device is stored. | 02-26-2015 |
20150067162 | SYSTEMS, METHODS, AND APPARATUS TO MONITOR MOBILE INTERNET ACTIVITY - Systems, methods, and apparatus to monitor mobile Internet activity are disclosed. An example method comprises assigning a port of a proxy to the mobile device associated with a panelist. A property list file is transmitted to the mobile device, the property list file instructing the mobile device to transmit future requests for media to the port of the first proxy. A first request for media is received on the port of the proxy, the first request originating from the mobile device. The first request for media is associated with a demographic of the panelist associated with the mobile device based on an identifier of the port. | 03-05-2015 |
20150081704 | METHODS AND APPARATUS TO OBTAIN ANONYMOUS AUDIENCE MEASUREMENT DATA FROM NETWORK SERVER DATA FOR PARTICULAR DEMOGRAPHIC AND USAGE PROFILES - Example audience measurement methods disclosed herein include accessing demographic information and identification information for subscribers of a service provider based on first data received from an audience measurement entity. Such disclosed example methods also include accessing network log data stored by the service provider for the subscribers using the identification information. Such disclosed example methods further include determining audience measurement data for the subscribers based on the network log data, the demographic information and the identification information, and removing the identification information from the audience measurement data to determine anonymous audience measurement data to send to the audience measurement entity. | 03-19-2015 |
