Abstract:
1. An apparatus for gathering research data indicating exposure to media, the apparatus comprising: a first receiver to receive a first modulated audio signal via a wireless data connection from an audio source device using a wireless communication protocol, the first modulated audio signal associated with the media, the first receiver to output a baseband audio signal corresponding to the first modulated audio signal; a first transmitter to modulate the baseband audio signal to form a second modulated audio signal, the first transmitter to transmit the second modulated audio signal to an audio receiver using the wireless communication protocol; and a monitoring device to receive the baseband audio signal, and to generate research data identifying the media, the audio source device including a second transmitter to transmit the first modulated audio signal to the first receiver, and the audio receiver including a second receiver to receive the second modulated audio signal from the first transmitter.
