摘要

Methods, apparatus, systems, and articles of manufacture to monitor mobile Internet usage are disclosed. Example apparatus disclosed herein to monitor application usage associated with a device include a request analyzer to detect a burst of logged requests based on respective timestamps included in the logged requests, the logged requests obtained from a proxy server in communication with the device. The request analyzer is also to differentiate between foreground requests and background requests included in the burst of logged requests based on the respective timestamps. Disclosed example apparatus further include a duration calculator to determine a presentation duration for a first application executed by the device based on at least a subset of the foreground requests identified in the burst of logged requests.
