INTERNET CONNECTED HOUSEHOLD IDENTIFICATION FOR ONLINE MEASUREMENT & DYNAMIC CONTENT DELIVERY

摘要

A method, apparatus, system, and computer readable storage medium provide the ability to identify an internet connected household (ICH). An Internet Protocol (IP) address is received at an Internet entity. Determinations are made regarding whether device activity from the IP address does not exceed a defined activity threshold and whether an IP assignment age for the IP address is greater than a defined threshold age. Based on the determinations, the IP address can be identified as belonging to an ICH or not.
