Methods and systems to meter media content presented on a wireless communication device
First Claim
1. An apparatus to generate media metering information associated with a wireless communication device, the apparatus comprising:
- a meter to;
generate first information indicative of a media presentation mode of a media presentation application executed by the wireless communication device during a presentation of media received and presented via the wireless communication device, the media including scheduled programming that is broadcasted or multicasted simultaneously to a plurality of other wireless communication devices during a pre-scheduled time; and
generate second information indicative of the media presented via the wireless communication device; and
a memory to;
store the first information in association with the second information in the wireless communication device; and
store third information in association with the first and second information, the third information to be indicative of at least one of a location of a cell tower used to transmit the media to the wireless communication device, an identifier of the cell tower, or an identifier of a wireless network access point used to transmit the media.

Abstract
An example apparatus includes a meter to generate first information indicative of a media presentation mode of a media presentation application executed by a wireless communication device during a presentation of the media content received and presented via the wireless communication device, the media content comprising scheduled programming that is broadcasted or multicasted simultaneously to a plurality of other wireless communication devices during a pre-scheduled time; and generate second information indicative of the media content presented via the wireless communication device. A memory is to store the first information in association with the second information in the wireless communication device; and store third information in association with the first and second information. The third information is indicative of at least one of a location of a cell tower used to transmit the media content, an identifier of the cell tower, or an identifier of a wireless network access point.

8. An apparatus to process metering information, the apparatus comprising:
-
a memory to; store a first data structure including reference metering information generated by a first wireless communication device and indicative of a plurality of media received at the first wireless communication device from a transmitting entity; and store a second data structure including panel metering information generated by a second wireless communication device and indicative of at least some of the media received by the second wireless communication device; and a validator to determine the validity of the panel metering information based on the reference metering information. - View Dependent Claims (9, 10, 11, 12, 13, 14)

15. An apparatus to generate media metering information associated with a wireless communication device, the apparatus comprising:
-
an interface to obtain first information indicative of media presented via a wireless communication device; a validator to generate second information indicative of a technical issue corresponding to the operability of the wireless communication device that affects user-consumption of the media during a presentation of the media; and a memory to; store the first information in association with the second information; and store timestamp information in association with the first information and the second information, the timestamp information to include a first timestamp stored in association with the first information and a second timestamp stored in association with the second information, and a substantial match between the first and second timestamps to indicate that the technical issue occurred during a presentation of the media. - View Dependent Claims (16, 17, 18, 19, 20)
