Abstract

Wireless monitors for audience measurement and methods of determining a distance between a wireless monitor (206) and an information presenting device (106) are disclosed. A method comprises obtaining first audio information via a first apparatus (204), obtaining second audio information via a second apparatus (206) wherein the second audio information is associated with the first audio information, determining a propagation delay based on the first audio information and the second audio information, and determining a distance between the information presenting device (106) and the second apparatus (206) based on the propagation delay.
