METHOD AND APPARATUS FOR MODULATING A VIDEO SIGNAL WITH DATA
First Claim
1. A method comprising:
- receiving on a mobile electronic device, at a frequency, a transmission of an encoded audio signal having encoded information on a subcarrier of the frequency;
processing the encoded audio signal on the mobile electronic device to extract the encoded information from the encoded audio signal; and
enabling a promotional opportunity on the mobile electronic device based on extracting the encoded information.
