Abstract
Master computing device and method for determining an actual number of impressions provided by a synchronized group of devices comprising the master and one or more slave computing device. The master device transmits a synchronization request to the slave device(s) and determines a number of negative responses received from the slave device(s) in response to the synchronization request. A negative response indicates that one slave device is not capable of displaying digital content. The master device determines a number of displays D capable of displaying digital content based on the number of negative responses received. The master device determines a metric representative of the actual number of impressions provided by the master device and the slave device(s). The metric is calculated based on the number of displays D. The master device transmits the metric to a server and the server calculates the actual number of impressions using the metric.
