Using messaging associated with adaptive bitrate streaming to perform media monitoring for mobile platforms
First Claim
1. A method to monitor media on a mobile platform, the method comprising:
- accessing, by executing an instruction with a processor of a first server, a first adaptive bitrate streaming uniform resource locator (URL) collected, by a meter executing on the mobile platform, from a first message to be sent by the mobile platform to a second server to stream first media according to an adaptive bitrate streaming protocol, the first adaptive bitrate streaming URL being received by the first server in a report sent from the meter executing on the mobile platform, the first server being different from the second server to which the mobile platform is to send the first message including the first adaptive bitrate streaming URL to stream the first media;
requesting, by executing an instruction with the processor, network log information corresponding to the first adaptive bitrate streaming URL from a service provider providing network access for the mobile platform; and
monitoring, by executing an instruction with the processor, presentation of the first media on the mobile platform using the network log information.

Abstract
Methods, apparatus, systems, storage media, etc., to perform media monitoring for mobile platforms using messaging associated with adaptive bitrate streaming are disclosed. Example methods disclosed hereinto monitor media on a mobile platform include accessing a first uniform resource locator (URL) included in a first message originated by the mobile platform to stream first media according to an adaptive bitrate streaming protocol. Such example methods also include requesting network log information corresponding to the first URL from a service provider providing network access for the mobile platform. Such example methods further include monitoring presentation of the first media on the mobile platform using the network log information.

8. A tangible machine readable storage medium comprising machine readable instructions which, when executed, cause a first server to at least:
-
access a first adaptive bitrate streaming uniform resource locator (URL) collected by a meter executing on a mobile platform, from a first message to be sent by the mobile platform to a second server to stream first media according to an adaptive bitrate streaming protocol, the first adaptive bitrate streaming URL being received by the first server in a report sent from the meter executing on the mobile platform, the first server being different from the second server to which the mobile platform is to send the first message including the first adaptive bitrate streaming URL to stream the first media; request network log information corresponding to the first adaptive bitrate streaming URL from a service provider providing network access for the mobile platform; and monitor presentation of the first media on the mobile platform using the network log information. - View Dependent Claims (9, 10, 11, 12, 13, 14)

15. An apparatus to monitor media on a mobile platform, the apparatus comprising:
-
a uniform resource locator (URL) collector to access, at a first server, a first adaptive bitrate streaming URL collected, by a meter executing on the mobile platform, from a first message to be sent by the mobile platform to a second server to stream first media according to an adaptive bitrate streaming protocol, the first adaptive bitrate streaming URL received at the first server in a report sent from the meter executing on the mobile platform, the first server being different from the second server to which the mobile platform is to send the first message including the first adaptive bitrate streaming URL to stream the first media; a provider data requestor to request network log information corresponding to the first adaptive bitrate streaming URL from a service provider providing network access for the mobile platform; and a ratings monitor to monitor presentation of the first media on the mobile platform using the network log information, at least one of the URL collector, the provider data requestor or the ratings monitor being implemented with at least one of a computer processor or a logic circuit. - View Dependent Claims (16, 17, 18, 19, 20, 21)
