==METHODS AND APPARATUS TO MEASURE AUDIENCE EXPOSURE TO MEDIA STREAMS WITH A WIRELESS ISOCHRONOUS DATA LINK - A simplified explanation of the abstract==


This abstract first appeared for US patent application 20240056631 titled 'METHODS AND APPARATUS TO MEASURE AUDIENCE EXPOSURE TO MEDIA STREAMS WITH A WIRELESS ISOCHRONOUS DATA LINK

==Simplified Explanation==

The patent application describes methods, apparatus, systems, and articles of manufacture for measuring audience exposure to media streams using a wireless isochronous data link. 

* An apparatus is disclosed, which includes a datastore, a network interface circuitry, and processor circuitry.
* The network interface circuitry obtains a first copy of audio data from a first wireless data link, transmitted from an audio source device.
* A second copy of the audio data is transmitted synchronously to the first copy to an audio sink device over a second wireless data link.
* The processor circuitry instantiates data parsing circuitry to extract a media stream identifier from the first copy of the audio data.
* Media identification assignment circuitry assigns the media stream identifier to an audio data log for the audio sink device.

Potential applications of this technology:

* Audience measurement and analytics in various media streaming platforms.
* Monitoring and tracking exposure to specific media streams in real-time.
* Enhancing targeted advertising and content recommendations based on audience preferences.

Problems solved by this technology:

* Provides a wireless isochronous data link for synchronized transmission of audio data.
* Enables accurate measurement of audience exposure to media streams across different devices.
* Facilitates efficient parsing and identification of media streams for data logging purposes.

Benefits of this technology:

* Improved accuracy and reliability in measuring audience exposure to media streams.
* Real-time monitoring and analysis of audience behavior and preferences.
* Enhanced targeting and personalization of content and advertisements.
