SYSTEM AND METHOD FOR DETERMINIMG CONTEXTUAL CHARACTERISTICS OF MEDIA EXPOSURE DATA
First Claim
Patent Images
1. A computer-implemented method for processing media data exposure, comprising:
- receiving media on a device;
forming research data from the media, wherein the research data indicates exposure to the media;
forming an environmental ambient fingerprint on the device; and
correlating the fingerprint with the research data to indicate a logical location where the exposure took place.

Abstract
Systems and methods are disclosed for providing contextual information to research data relating to media exposure. Ambient fingerprints are formed on a device, where the fingerprints are used to establish a logical location where media exposure took place. The ambient signatures are alternately combined with monitored data to provide more robust data sets for contextual processing.
