SYSTEM AND METHOD FOR DETERMINING DEVICE COMPLIANCE AND RECRUITMENT
First Claim
1. A computer-implemented method for determining usage of a plurality of portable user appliances (PUAs), configured to detect media exposure and to produce PUA data, the method comprising the steps of:
- receiving PUA data from each of the PUAs;
receiving research data from each of the PUAs, wherein the research data comprises media exposure data;
associating the research data with the PUA data; and
processing the PUA data to determine if each of the PUAs are in compliance with a predetermined usage criteria.

Abstract
Systems and methods are disclosed for processing data provided by portable user appliances (PUAs) that are configured to provide research data that includes media exposure data. Each of the PUAs include a detector or sensor that reports a configuration and/or usage of the PUA. The configuration and/or usage is processed to determine if the PUA is in compliance with a predetermined usage criteria. Under one example, each panelist is equipped with a plurality of PUAs such as smart phones, computers or other devices, and compliance is measured for each panelist across the plurality of PUAs while research data is collected.
