Mobile remote media control platform apparatuses and methods
First Claim
1. A TV mobile control system, 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 to;
obtain TV program schedule listing data;
provide the obtained TV program schedule listing data to a user mobile device communicatively coupled to an infrared communication component;
receive a user media program selection message from the user mobile device,wherein the user mobile device transmits a TV remote channel selection indication to a TV set via the infrared communication component,wherein the user media program selection message and the TV remote channel selection indication comprise the same user selected channel;
receive, from the user mobile device, audience monitoring atmospherics data including ambient multimedia recording captured by the user mobile device;
analyze the audience monitoring atmospherics data to identify audience watching environment background noise;
determine whether the received user media program selection message indicates a user watching event based on the identified audience watching environment background noise;
determine a user watching time length associated with the user selected channel when the received user media program selection message is determined to indicate the user watching event; and
generate and storing a user watching event log file including the user selected channel and the determined user watching time length.
