METHODS AND SYSTEMS FOR REDUCING SPILLOVER BY ANALYZING SOUND PRESSURE LEVELS
First Claim
1. A method to reduce spillover in a media measuring system, comprising:
- identifying media associated with media monitoring data, the media monitoring data being received from a first meter associated with a first media presentation device;
identifying an expected sound pressure level associated with the first meter;
comparing the expected sound pressure level to an actual sound pressure level collected from the media by the first meter to determine if spillover occurred; and
crediting the media as a media exposure if spillover did not occur.

Abstract
Methods, apparatus, and articles of manufacture for reducing spillover in a media monitoring system are disclosed. An example method includes identifying media associated with media monitoring data. The media monitoring data is received from a first meter associated with a first media presentation device. The example method includes identifying an expected sound pressure level associated with the first meter. The example method includes comparing the expected sound pressure level to an actual sound pressure level collected from the media by the first meter to determine if spillover occurred. The example method includes crediting the media as a media exposure if spillover did not occur.

10. A spillover manager to reduce spillover in a media measuring system, comprising:
-
a sound pressure level comparator to; identify an expected sound pressure level for media associated with media monitoring data received from a meter associated with a media presentation device; and compare the expected sound pressure level to an actual sound pressure level to determine if spillover occurred, the actual sound pressure level based on the media detected by the meter; and a media creditor to; credit the media with an exposure if spillover did not occur; and not credit the media with the exposure if spillover did occur. - View Dependent Claims (11, 12, 13, 14, 15, 16, 17)
