Advertising metrics system and method

摘要

The present disclosure relates to a system and method for monitoring audio-video (AV) streams transported over a network. The system may include an AV probe deployed between an AV tuner and AV destination customer premise equipment. The AV probe may receive an incoming AV stream. The AV probe may generate a thumbnail stream by capturing thumbnails of the incoming AV stream. The AV probe may transmit, substantially in real-time, the thumbnail stream to a monitoring engine and the incoming AV stream to the AV destination customer premise equipment.

主权项

1. A computer-implemented method comprising:
receiving, by an AV probe coupled to an AV tuner, an incoming AV stream; generating, by the AV probe, a thumbnail stream by capturing thumbnails of the incoming AV stream; transmitting, by the AV probe, the thumbnail stream to a monitoring engine; capturing, by the AV probe, user data; transmitting, by the AV probe, the user data to the monitoring engine; and generating a visual representation by transforming the captured user data to include a mosaic view that shows one of simultaneous thumbnail views for multiple AV probes and sequential thumbnails views from the AV probe.
