Methods and apparatus to measure exposure to streaming media
First Claim
Patent Images
1. A method of measuring exposure to streaming media, the method comprising:
- identifying, at a service provider, metadata from media;
converting the media into converted media having a streaming format;
encrypting the converted media using an encryption key, the encryption key generated based on the identified metadata;
synchronizing the encryption key and an address of a decryption key with a central facility, the address of the decryption key being based on an identifier of the service provider, the address of the decryption key being an address of a server of the central facility; and
creating a manifest in association with the converted media, the manifest identifying a location of the encrypted media and the address of the decryption key.

Abstract
Methods and apparatus to measure exposure to streaming media are described. An example method includes identifying metadata from media. The media is converted into converted media having a streaming format. The converted media is encrypted using an encryption key. A manifest is created in association with the converted media, the manifest identifying a first location of the encrypted media and a second location of a decryption key.

14. An apparatus to measure exposure to streaming media, the apparatus comprising:
-
a media identifier to generate metadata identifying media based on metering data extracted from the media, the metadata formatted as an ID3 tag; a media encrypter to encrypt the media using an encryption key, the encryption key generated based on the metadata; a manifest generator to generate a manifest identifying a first location of the encrypted media and a second location of a decryption key, the second location of the decryption key being based on a service provider identifier, the second location of the decryption key corresponding to an address of a server of a central facility; a transcoder to transcode the media into a streaming format; and an encryption key synchronizer to synchronize the encryption key and the second location of a decryption key with the central facility. - View Dependent Claims (15, 16, 17)

18. A machine-readable storage medium comprising instructions which, when executed, cause a machine to at least:
-
identify metadata from media; convert the media into converted media having a streaming format; encrypt the converted media using an encryption key, the encryption key generated based on the identified metadata; synchronize the encryption key and an address of a decryption key with a central facility, the address of the decryption key being based on a service provider identifier, the address of the decryption key being an address of a server of the central facility; and create a manifest in association with the converted media, the manifest identifying a location of the encrypted media and the address of the decryption key. - View Dependent Claims (19, 20, 21, 22, 23, 24, 25, 26, 27, 28, 29, 30, 31)

32. A machine-readable storage medium comprising instructions which, when executed, cause a machine to at least:
-
identify metadata from media, the metadata formatted as an ID3 tag; convert the media into converted media having a streaming format; encrypt the converted media using an encryption key, the encryption key generated based on the identified metadata; synchronize the encryption key and an address of a decryption key with a central facility, the address of the decryption key being based on a service provider identifier, the address of the decryption key being an address of a server of the central facility; and
create a manifest in association with the converted media, the manifest identifying a location of the encrypted media and the address of the decryption key. - View Dependent Claims (33)

34. A method of measuring exposure to streaming media, the method comprising:
-
identifying, at a service provider, metadata from media, the metadata formatted as an ID3 tag; converting the media into converted media having a streaming format; encrypting the converted media using an encryption key, the encryption key generated based on the identified metadata; synchronizing the encryption key and an address of a decryption key with a central facility, the address of the decryption key being based on an identifier of the service provider, the address of the decryption key being an address of a server of the central facility; and creating a manifest in association with the converted media, the manifest identifying a location of the encrypted media and the address of the decryption key.
