Patent attributes
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.
