Abstract

A system (FIG. 1) for collecting, evaluating and utilizing usage activity includes one or more media devices and a network with a rating service (158). The media device includes a recording service (115) for recording usage activity when media content is accessed and played, shared, deleted and / or stored. When there is a connection to the network, the usage activity is transmitted to the rating service (158). A rating service evaluates the usage activity and prepares a usage report that can be transmitted to one or more content providers and / or can be used to improve programming and / or influence advertising decisions. The content provider may collect votes by sending a list of possible song options to the media device and receiving voting data collected by the recording service (115) on the media device. Evaluate voting data and prepare voting reports that can be used to improve program content and / or 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...
