Determining content consumption metrics using display device power status information

摘要

A method, performed at a computer system having one or more processors and memory storing one or more programs executed by the one or more processors, includes receiving respective first set-top box (STB) information from a first plurality of STBs. The first STB information received from a respective STB in the first plurality of STBs includes tuning information for the respective STB in the first plurality of STBs, and power status information for a respective display device coupled to the respective STB in the first plurality of STBs. The method also includes storing the first STB information, and determining a viewership metric for the first plurality of STBs based on the tuning information and the power status information in the first STB information.

1. A method, comprising:
at a server system having one or more processors and memory storing one or more programs executed by the one or more processors: receiving respective first set-top box (STB) information from a first plurality of STBs, wherein the first STB information received from a respective STB in the first plurality of STBs includes:
tuning information for the respective STB in the first plurality of STBs, the tuning information comprising one or more tuning time intervals, and for each respective tuning time interval, channel information indicating a channel to which the respective STB is tuned during the respective tuning time interval, andpower status information for a respective display device coupled to the respective STB in the first plurality of STBs, the power status information comprising a set of one or more power time intervals, and for each respective power time interval, information indicating a power status for the respective display device during the respective power time interval; adjusting the set of one or more power time intervals, including one or more of: removing a power time interval, extending a power time interval, or merging two or more power time intervals; storing the first STB information; and determining a viewership metric for the first plurality of STBs based on the tuning information and the adjusted power status information in the first STB information.
