First Claim
Patent Images
1. A method of measuring exposure to streaming media, the method comprising:
- demultiplexing, with a processor, a closed captioning transport stream from a media stream, the media stream intercepted intermediate a media device and a display;
extracting metadata from the closed captioning transport stream; and
exporting at least one of the metadata or data based on the metadata to a media measurement server.
