Abstract:
Example methods disclosed herein to resolve media source detection ambiguities include detecting an ambiguity condition associated with media source detection when monitoring media presented by a media output device in communication with at least two media source devices, and in response to detecting the ambiguity condition, determining a source of the media output from the media output device using motion data reported by accelerometers affixed to remote control devices associated with the at least two media source devices. Example methods disclosed herein to resolve simulcast crediting ambiguities include detecting an ambiguity condition associated with simulcast broadcasting when monitoring media presented by a media output device, and in response to detecting the ambiguity condition, adjusting a time associated with a channel change using motion data reported by an accelerometer affixed to a remote control device associated with the media output device.

Claim (Index 4):
The metering apparatus of  claim 1 , wherein the at least two media source devices include a first media source device and a second media source device, the accelerometers include a first accelerometer tag affixed to a first remote control device associated with the first media source device, a second accelerometer tag affixed to a second remote control device associated with the second media source device and a third accelerometer tag affixed to a third remote control device associated with the media output device, and to determine the source of the media output by the media output device, the media source resolver is to:\n determine, based on configuration data, whether the first media source device and the second media source device are arranged in a daisy chain configuration when the ambiguity condition is detected, the ambiguity condition corresponding to the media output by the media output device being determined to match media output by a first one of the media source devices and media output by a second one of the media source devices; and when the first media source device and the second media source device are not arranged in the daisy chain configuration, determine the source of the media output by the media output device to be one of the first media source device or the second media source device based on motion data received from the first accelerometer tag and the second accelerometer tag.
