VOICE-CODED IN-BAND DATA FOR INTERACTIVE CALLS
First Claim
1. A computer-implemented method, comprising:
- monitoring, by a local computing device, an audio-receiving channel;
detecting a data-encoding signal from the audio-receiving channel, wherein the audio-receiving channel carries an audio signal that includes a voice signal and the data-encoding signal from a remote device; and
decoding the data-encoding signal to obtain a data element.

Abstract
A voice-coded in-band communication device monitors a voice-coded channel to detect data to present to a user. During operation, the communication device can detect a data-encoding signal from the voice-coded channel, such that the voice-coded channel can carry an audio signal that includes a voice signal and the data-encoding signal. The device decodes the data-encoding signal to detect a data element. The data element can include information that is to be presented to a local user, a request from a remote device for information about the local user, or information that the system can use to establish a peer-to-peer connection with the remote device over a separate data channel. The device can also generate a filtered audio signal to present to the user by removing the detected data-encoding signal from the voice-coded channel, and then reproduces the filtered audio signal for the user.
