Claim:
A method to determine the location of an audience member to generate media monitoring information, comprising: receiving a portable metering device signal via a first sensor located in a first location and a second sensor located in a second location; associating first location information with receiving the portable metering device signal via the first sensor and second location information with receiving the portable metering device signal via the second sensor; generating media monitoring information based on at least the first location information; and identifying the media monitoring information as being associated with a spillover signal in response to determining that a media delivery device is not located in a first room indicated by the first location information, wherein the spillover signal is indicative of a media presentation presented in a second room and detected by a portable metering device located in the first room, and wherein the media monitoring information being associated with the spillover signal indicates that an audience member associated with the portable metering device was not sufficiently exposed to the media presentation to indicate consumption of the media presentation.
