First Claim
Patent Images
1. A method of monitoring media exposure comprising:
- accessing a meter identifier and first audio received from a wearable bracelet meter, the meter identifier uniquely associated with the wearable bracelet meter;
determining, with a processor, whether the first audio substantially matches second audio received at a second meter; and
in response to determining that the first audio and the second audio substantially match, storing the meter identifier associated with the wearable bracelet meter and at least one of the first audio or the second audio.

Abstract
Methods and apparatus to monitor media exposure are disclosed. An example implementation includes accessing a meter identifier and first audio received from a wearable bracelet meter, the meter identifier uniquely associated with the wearable bracelet meter. Whether the first audio substantially matches second audio received at a second meter is determined. In response to determining that the first audio and the second audio substantially match, the meter identifier associated with the wearable bracelet meter and at least one of the first audio or the second audio are stored.

12. An apparatus to monitor media exposure, the apparatus comprising:
-
an audio receiver to receive first audio; a communicator to receive a meter identifier and second audio from a wearable bracelet meter, the meter identifier being uniquely associated with the wearable meter; a correlator to determine whether the first audio and the second audio substantially match; and a data storer to, in response to determining that the first audio and the second audio substantially match, store the meter identifier associated with the wearable meter and at least one of the first audio and the second audio. - View Dependent Claims (13, 14, 15, 16)

17. A tangible machine-readable storage medium comprising instructions which, when executed, cause a mailable meter to at least:
-
receive a meter identifier and a first audio from a wearable meter, the meter identifier uniquely associated with the wearable meter; determine whether the first audio substantially matches second audio received at the mailable meter; and in response to determining that the first audio and the second audio substantially match, store the meter identifier associated with the wearable meter and at least one of the first audio and the second audio. - View Dependent Claims (18, 19, 20, 21, 22, 23, 24, 25, 26)
