Abstract

The USER IMPRESSION MEDIA ANALYTICS PLATFORM APPARATUSES AND SYSTEMS (“M-ANALYTICS”) transforms TV program schedule listing information and user channel selection via M-ANALYTICS components, into TV audience viewing data and ad effects data. A system is disclosed, comprising: a memory; a processor disposed in communication with said memory, and configured to issue a plurality of processing instructions stored in the memory, wherein the processor issues instructions for: receiving a user impression media analytics request including an identified object; obtaining media analytics parameters from a user interface; obtaining user media exposure data from a variety of data channels upon verification of user authorization credentials; querying for user impression data related to the identified object from the obtained user media exposure data; classifying the queried user impression data related to the identified object based on different classification measures; and generating user impression reports for the identified object.
