Abstract:
Systems, methods, and apparatus to identify media devices are disclosed. An example method includes establishing a table of device identifiers and respective media access control (MAC) addresses corresponding to devices on a home network, the device identifiers provided by a panelist associated with the home network during a registration process. The home network is monitored for a network communication sent by a requesting device separate from a network communications monitor, the network communications monitor installed in the home network associated with a panelist home. A device identifier of the requesting device is identified from the table of device identifiers and respective MAC addresses based on a MAC address of the requesting device. In response to a failure to identify the device identifier, the panelist is prompted to provide the device identifier for the requesting device.

Claim (Index 12):
A non-transitory machine readable medium comprising instructions which, when executed, cause a network communications monitor to at least:\n establish a table of device identifiers and respective media access control addresses corresponding to devices on a home network, the device identifiers provided by a panelist associated with the home network during a registration process; monitor the home network for a network communication sent by a requesting device separate from the network communications monitor, the network communication having a destination other than the network communications monitor, the network communications monitor installed in the home network associated with a panelist home; attempt to identify a device identifier of the requesting device from the table of device identifiers and respective media access control addresses based on a media access control address of the requesting device, the device identifier different from the media access control address; in response to a failure to identify the device identifier, initiate display of a prompt to request that the panelist provide the device identifier for the requesting device; and transmit data identifying the network communication and the device identifier to an audience measurement entity.
