Patent number: 11973577Abstract: In some examples, one or more processors configured by executable instructions may receive an audio signal and data to embed in the audio signal. For example, the data may be received dynamically from one or more data sources. The one or more processors may embed the received data in real time into the audio signal as embedded data based at least in part on controlling a phase angle of a selected frequency component of the audio signal. For instance, the embedded data may include at least one of text, a bar code, a quick response code, an image, a uniform resource locator (URL), or multimedia content. Additionally, the one or more processors may send the audio signal with the embedded data over a network to a plurality of electronic devices that include respective decoders for extracting the embedded data from the audio signal.Type: GrantFiled: September 23, 2021Date of Patent: April 30, 2024Assignee: ADORI LABS, INC.Inventors: Viswanathan Iyer, Kartik Parija, Andrew Cole

Patent number: 11133883Abstract: In some examples, an audio signal is received and divided into a plurality of frames. Frequency domain data of the audio signal may be generated for an individual frame of the plurality of frames. For example, the frequency domain data may include a plurality of frequency waveform components. Data may be embedded into a selected frequency waveform component having a lower frequency, selected from the frequency domain data of the individual frames, by controlling a phase value of the frequency waveform component to represent a selected bit of the data. For instance, a first range of the phase value may represent a first type of bit and a second range of the phase value may represent a second type of bit.Type: GrantFiled: July 6, 2020Date of Patent: September 28, 2021Assignee: ADORI LABS, INC.Inventors: Viswanathan Iyer, Kartik Parija, Andrew Cole
