8. A method of identifying companion media interaction, the method comprising:
-
detecting a primary media identifier corresponding to a primary media presentation in an environment; detecting a secondary media identifier corresponding to a secondary media presentation by a secondary media device in the environment; classifying the secondary media as a companion media for the primary media when the primary media identifier and the secondary media identifier are related, and classifying the secondary media as a non-companion media when the primary media identifier and the secondary media identifier are not related. - View Dependent Claims (9, 10, 11, 12)

13. An apparatus to identify companion media interaction for primary media in an environment comprising:
-
a packet detector to detect a usage packet, wherein the usage packet is to include a secondary media identifier for secondary media; a synchronizer to identify a primary media identifier indicative of primary media in the environment; and a classifier to classify the secondary media as companion media for the primary media when the secondary media identifier is related to the primary media identifier and to classify the secondary media as non-companion media for the primary media when the secondary media identifier is not related to the primary media identifier. - View Dependent Claims (14, 15, 16, 17, 18, 19, 20)
