SYSTEMS, METHODS, AND APPARATUS TO IDENTIFY MEDIA PRESENTATION DEVICES

摘要

Systems, methods, and apparatus to identify media presentation devices are disclosed. An example method includes receiving registration data from a panelist, the panelist being associated with a first network device and a second network device, the first and second network devices associated with a same public Internet protocol address. Associating respective ones of the first and second network devices with respective ones of at least two pseudo domain name service (DNS) servers, wherein the pseudo DNS servers do not provide domain name-to-IP address translation. Crediting the first network device with accessing media when a domain name service query is received at the first pseudo DNS server from the public Internet protocol address. And crediting the second network device with accessing media when the domain name service query is received at the second pseudo DNS server from the public Internet protocol address.

1. A method of monitoring network activity, the method comprising:
receiving registration data from a panelist, the panelist being associated with a first network device and a second network device, the first and second network devices associated with a same public Internet protocol address; associating respective ones of the first and second network devices with respective ones of at least two pseudo domain name service (DNS) servers, wherein the pseudo DNS servers do not provide domain name-to-IP address translation; crediting the first network device with accessing media when a domain name service query is received at the first pseudo DNS server from the public Internet protocol address; and crediting the second network device with accessing media when the domain name service query is received at the second pseudo DNS server from the public Internet protocol address.
