  • Patent number: 9996628
    Abstract: This disclosure includes, for example, methods and computer systems for providing audio-activated resource access for user devices. The computer systems may store instructions to cause the processor to perform operations, comprising capturing audio at a user device. The operations may also comprise using a speaker recognition system to identify a speaker in the transmitted audio and/or using a speech-to-text converter to identify text in the captured audio. The speaker identity or a condensed version of the speaker identity or other metadata along with the speaker identity may be transmitted to a server system to determine a corresponding speaker identity entry. The operations may also comprise receiving a resource corresponding to the identified speaker entry in the server system.

  • Patent number: 9299386
    Abstract: Systems and methods are provided for using a hidden audio signal. In one exemplary embodiment, the method includes registering, at a central database, one or more of an identifier and a destination resource associated with the identifier, and encoding the one or more of the identifier and the destination resource in a hidden audio signal. The method further includes transmitting the hidden audio signal, including the one or more of the identifier and the destination resource, in connection with an acoustic signal, and receiving the acoustic signal at a user device. In addition, the method includes decoding the encoded one or more of the identifier and the destination resource at the user device; and requesting, from the central database, information associated with the one or more of the identifier and the destination resource. Further, the method includes receiving, at the user device, the requested information.

  • Publication number: 20150324840
    Abstract: Systems and methods for rendering three-dimensional (3D) online advertisements on electronic devices are described. An advertiser provides a two-dimensional (2D) version of an advertisement, and the 2D version is converted to a 3D format appropriate for rendering for display on a particular electronic device. The conversion from 2D to 3D can be done online or offline, and the converted 3D versions are tagged by format for storage in a database for subsequent retrieval. The advertiser further specifies targeting options for the 3D ad, and the 3D version of the ad is rendered only for ad inventory meeting the targeting options, where the targeting options can specify conditions under which a 2D version of the ad is rendered and conditions under which a 3D version of the ad is rendered.
