Claim 14:
15. At least one non-transitory computer readable medium comprising computer readable instructions that, when executed by at least one processor of an audience measurement computing system, cause the audience measurement computing system to at least:
process media signatures of a first type generated by a device meter from media presented by a media device to monitor the media presented by the media device, the media signatures of the first type to be processed until a first one of the media signatures of the first type is determined to match a first reference signature of the first type, the first reference signature of the first type being associated with first reference media; and
process media signatures of a second type generated by the device meter from the media presented by the media device to monitor the media presented by the media device, the media signatures of the first type having higher resolution than the media signatures of the second type, the media signatures of the second type to begin being processed after the first one of the media signatures of the first type is determined to match the first reference signature of the first type and to end being processed when multiple media signatures of the second type are determined not to match corresponding reference signatures of the second type, the reference signatures of the second type also being associated with the first reference media.
