Abstract:
1. A method for processing research data gathered by a plurality of monitoring devices, the research data including message data read by the monitoring devices from media data encoded with codes encoding the message data, a first portion of the message data as read by one or more of the monitoring devices omitting a data portion, the method comprising: processing the research data to produce a database of corresponding message data indicating a probability that the media data relates to other media data; receiving the omitted data portion based on the corresponding message data from a source other than the one or more of the monitoring devices that read the first portion of the message data omitting the data portion; and determining whether the corresponding message data has been received from at least N monitoring devices, wherein N is a natural number, and N is statistically established as a number of monitoring devices having read the complete message data which is sufficiently large to satisfy a probability that the message data were correctly read by the plurality of monitoring devices; and on the condition that the corresponding message data has been received from the at least N monitoring devices; processing the corresponding message data and the data portions to produce complete message data.
