1. An apparatus to generate media monitoring information, comprising:
- a processor to collect a first data record corresponding to a first media presentation session, and collect a second data record corresponding to a second media presentation session; and
a memory in circuit with the processor, the memory to;
store a first end timestamp in the first data record indicative of a first time at which the first media presentation session ended;
store a second end timestamp in the second data record indicative of a second time at which the second media presentation session ended; and
store the first end timestamp in the second data record.

Abstract
An example apparatus to generate media monitoring information includes a processor to collect a first data record corresponding to a first media presentation session, and collect a second data record corresponding to a second media presentation. The example apparatus also includes a memory in circuit with the processor, the memory to: store a first end timestamp in the first data record indicative of a first time at which the first media presentation session ended; store a second end timestamp in the second data record indicative of a second time at which the second media presentation session ended; and store the first end timestamp in the second data record.

11. An article of manufacture comprising computer readable instructions that, when executed, cause a processor to at least:
-
generate first information indicative of a media presentation mode of a media presentation application executed by a 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; generate second information indicative of the media presented via the wireless communication device; 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. - View Dependent Claims (12, 13, 14, 15, 16, 17)

18. An article of manufacture comprising computer readable instructions that, when executed, cause a processor to at least:
-
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; 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 determine the validity of the panel metering information based on the reference metering information. - View Dependent Claims (19, 20, 21, 22, 23, 24)

25. An article of manufacture comprising computer readable instructions that, when executed, cause a processor to at least:
-
obtain first information indicative of media presented via a wireless communication device; 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; 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 (26, 27, 28, 29, 30)
