Methods, systems and apparatus for multi-purpose metering |
| 摘要 |
Methods and apparatus for multi-purpose metering are disclosed. An example method includes acquiring a rate of data transfer to/from the monitored location and comparing the acquired rate of data transfer to a threshold. The example method also includes setting at least one media monitoring device in a first bandwidth mode when the acquired rate of data transfer exceeds the threshold, and setting the at least one media monitoring device in a second bandwidth mode when the acquired rate of data transfer is below the threshold. |

1. A method to configure media monitoring devices in a monitored household location comprising:
acquiring a rate of data transfer in the monitored household location; comparing the acquired rate of data transfer to a threshold; setting a media monitoring device in a first bandwidth mode having an increased data sample rate when the acquired rate of data transfer exceeds the threshold; and setting the media monitoring device in a second bandwidth mode having a decreased data sample rate when the acquired rate of data transfer is below the threshold.
