Abstract

Patente de Invenção para <B>"SISTEMA DE AVALIAçãO DE AUDIêNCIA PARA TELEVISãO E RáDIO DIGITAIS"<D>. Um sistema de avaliação de audiência para televisão e rádio digitais, usando códigos de identificação em correntes de controle de transmissões digitais multiplexadas de tempo. Quando um conjunto de televisão ou rádio, que está sendo monitorado de acordo com o sistema, é ligado e sintonizado em um canal, e cada tempo que o canal é mudado, um código de identificação para cada áudio, vídeo ou corrente digital auxiliar do canal é extraído a partir da corrente de controle, e registrado junto com o tempo. O tempo é também registrado quando o conjunto de televisão ou rádio é desligado. Estes dados tornam possível determinar quais estações, canais e membros de programas da audiência sendo monitorados são assistidos ou ouvidos em qualquer tempo particular.Invention Patent for <B> "AUDIENCE ASSESSMENT SYSTEM FOR DIGITAL TELEVISION AND RADIO" <D>. An audience assessment system for digital television and radio, using identification codes in control streams for multiplexed digital time transmissions. When a television or radio set, which is being monitored according to the system, is switched on and tuned to a channel, and each time the channel is changed, an identification code for each audio, video or auxiliary digital stream of the channel it is extracted from the control current, and recorded along with time. The time is also recorded when the television or radio set is turned off. This data makes it possible to determine which stations, channels and program members of the audience being monitored are watched or heard at any particular time.
