Abstract

A system for collecting, evaluating and using usage activity includes one or more media devices and a network with a ratings service. A media device includes a logging service for logging usage activity when media content is accessed and played, shared, deleted and/or stored. When a connection to the network is present, the usage activity is transmitted to the ratings service. The ratings service evaluates the usage activity and prepares a usage report, which can be transmitted to one or more content providers and/or can be used to refine programming content and/or influence advertising decisions. A content provider can collect votes by sending a list of possible song choices to media devices and receiving vote data collected by logging services on the media devices. The vote data is evaluated and a vote report is prepared that can be used to refine programming content and/or to influence advertising decisions.

Description

technical field [0001] The present invention relates generally to the field of radio and network communications. More specifically, the present invention relates to systems and methods for recording and collecting usage activity from media devices. Background technique [0002] The music industry has been revolutionized by the development of digital media content and methods for distributing and accessing digital media content. For example, satellite radio or Digital Audio Radio Service (DARS) is the broadcast of digital audio programming via satellite directly to subscribers or users. With satellite radio, subscribers receive high-quality, uninterrupted digital data, such as radio broadcasts, over many different radio channels. Digital radio content includes, for example, digital quality music, radio talk, sports, news, weather, and the like. Traditionally, terrestrial broadcast media such as FM radio and AM radio have allowed radio signals to be widely broadcast to list...
