Claims19
An apparatus comprising:
- condition analyzer circuitry to:
- determine an accuracy threshold of data to be collected from a mobile device;
- and
- determine a panel to which a user of the mobile device belongs;
- meter selector circuitry to select a number of meters and meter types for one or more meters to be used with the mobile device based on the accuracy threshold and the panel;
- and
- data collector circuitry to collect the data pertaining to the mobile device based on the selected number of meters and the selected meter types.
An apparatus comprising:
- a memory storing instructions;
- and
- a processor to execute the instructions to:
- determine an accuracy threshold of data to be collected from a mobile device;
- determine a panel to which a user of the mobile device belongs;
- select a number of meters and meter types for one or more meters to be used with the mobile device based on the accuracy threshold and the panel;
- and
- collect the data pertaining to the mobile device based on the selected number of meters and the selected meter types.
A non-transitory computer readable medium comprising instructions that, when executed, cause at least one processor to:
- determine an accuracy threshold of data to be collected from a mobile device;
- determine a panel to which a user of the mobile device belongs;
- select a number of meters and meter types for one or more meters to be used with the mobile device based on the accuracy threshold and the panel;
- and
- collect the data pertaining to the mobile device based on the selected number of meters and the selected meter types.
