Abstract
Systems, methods, apparatus, and articles of manufacture to measure mobile device usage are disclosed. An example method to determine mobile device usage includes filtering, with a processor, a debug log file stored in the device to obtain debug file entries representative of device usage information, the debug log file having been modified by at least one of an operating system of the device or a device application, and sending, to a server, a filtered log file based on filtering the debug log file.
Claims21
A method to determine usage of a device, comprising:
- filtering, with a processor, a debug log file stored in the device to obtain debug file entries representative of device usage information, the debug log file having been modified by at least one of an operating system of the device or a device application;
- and
- sending, to a server, a filtered log file based on filtering the debug log file.
An apparatus, comprising:
- a log filter to generate a filtered log file from a debug log file stored in a mobile device to obtain debug file entries representative of mobile device usage information, wherein the debug log file is updated by at least one of an operating system of the mobile device or a second mobile device application;
- and
- a filtered log reporter to send, to a server, a filtered log file based on filtering the debug log file.
A tangible article of manufacture comprising machine readable instructions which, when executed, cause a machine to at least:
- execute a first device application to filter a debug log file stored in a device to obtain debug file entries representative of device usage information, wherein the debug log file is modified by at least one of an operating system of the device or a second device application;
- and
- send, to a server, a filtered log file based on filtering the debug log file.
