Methods and Apparatus to Detect a Time-Shift Event Associated with the Presentation of Media Content

摘要

Methods and apparatus to detect a time-shift event associated with the presentation of media content are disclosed. A disclosed system (110) generates a first metering event representative of a first time period in which a program was continuously presented and a second metering event representative of a second time period in which a program eas continuously presented. A time-shift detector (118) receives the first and second events and calculates a presentation gap value and a broadcast time jump value. The time-shift detector (118) compares the presentation gap value and the broadcast time jump value to determine whether a pause event fast forward event or a rewind event occurred.
