  • Publication number: 20260290290
    Abstract: One embodiment provides a method, a system, and a non-transitory computer-readable medium for processing inaudible tones. An audio signal comprising an audible portion and at least one inaudible tone is captured by a microphone of an electronic device. The at least one inaudible tone is detected, and an encrypted payload encoded therein is demodulated and decrypted to recover information associated with audio content of the audible portion. An action specified by at least one condition included in the recovered information is automatically initiated. In another embodiment, a soundtrack including one or more inaudible tones is broadcast over a broadcast medium, the one or more inaudible tones are detected by a plurality of receiving devices, and indications of user responses are aggregated by a remote server. In another embodiment, an inaudible tone encodes identification information used to selectively grant, limit, or deny access to a resource.

  • Patent number: 12696035
    Abstract: The present disclosure provides systems, methods, and audio devices for concealing discontinuities in wireless audio playback. In one embodiment, an audio device includes a wireless receiver and a replay buffer. The replay buffer stores audio blocks and detects a discontinuity in the sequence. A replacement audio block is generated by flipping time indices of a stored audio block and conditionally applying a vertical flip based on slope continuity. The replacement block is filtered using a glitch filter with coefficients selected according to frequency content of the stored block, and crossfaded with the stored block to produce output audio that conceals the discontinuity.

  • Publication number: 20260129365
    Abstract: Systems and methods of the present disclosure enable heterogenous device interoperability for signaling across a network by configuring each transmitter and receiver to implement an interoperability tranche protocol. According to the interoperability tranche protocol, a transmitter generates multiple audio streams based on an original audio signal and a tranche function, where the tranche function is configured to produce the audio streams from the original audio signal at different quality levels. The transmitter transmits the audio streams across a network to each receiver on the network. According to the interoperability tranche protocol, each receiver receives the audio streams and generates an output audio signal based on an interpolator function and the audio streams. The interpolator function combines the audio streams and interpolates missing data from at least one of the audio streams using data from at least one other of the audio stream.
