Systems, methods, and devices for prompting mobile device users for feedback information using tone transmissions
First Claim
1. A mobile device comprising:
- a network interface;
a display;
a microphone; and
at least one processor in communication with the network interface, the display, and the microphone, wherein the at least one processor is configured to execute computer executable instructions to;
receive, via the microphone, a tone;
extract a location identifier from the tone, wherein the location identifier identifies one or more information sources to retrieve user prompting information, wherein the user prompting information is user interface information to request feedback information from a mobile device user;
direct transmission, to a remote information source via the network interface, of a signal comprising at least a portion of the location identifier;
receive, via the network interface from the remote information source in response to the transmission of the signal, the user prompting information associated with the location identifier, the user prompting information comprising at least one of (i) voting information or (ii) rating information for an item, a service, or a content associated with the received tone;
direct the display of at least a portion of the user prompting information on the display;
receive, in response to the display, user feedback information associated with the user prompting information;
direct transmission, via the network interface to the remote information source, of at least a portion of the received user feedback information, wherein the transmission of the at least the portion of the received user feedback information is via a second tone;
receive additional content based at least in part on the received user feedback information; and
receive a confirmation message in response to the transmitted user feedback information, wherein the confirmation message indicates acceptance or rejection of the user feedback information.

Abstract
Systems, methods, and devices for prompting mobile device users for feedback information using tone transmissions are provided. One device may include a network interface, a display, a microphone, and a processor in communication with the network interface, display, and microphone, where the processor is configured to execute computer executable instructions to receive, by the microphone, a tone, where the tone includes a location identifier. The processor is further configured to execute computer executable instructions to extract the location identifier from the tone, and transmit, via the network interface, a signal that includes at least a portion of the location identifier. Moreover, the processor is further configured to execute computer executable instructions to receive, via the network interface, user prompting information associated with the location identifier, and display at least a portion of the user prompting information on the display.

9. A method comprising:
-
receiving, by a microphone of a mobile device, a tone; extracting, by a mobile device processor, a location identifier from the tone, wherein the location identifier identifies one or more information sources to retrieve user prompting information, wherein user prompting information is user interface information to request feedback information from a mobile device user; transmitting, to a remote information source via a network interface of the mobile device, a signal comprising at least a portion of the location identifier; receiving, via the network interface from the remote information source in response to the transmission of the signal, the user prompting information associated with the location identifier, the user prompting information comprising at least one of (i) voting information or (ii) rating information for an item, a service, or a content associated with the received tone; displaying at least a portion of the user prompting information on a display of the mobile device; receiving, via an input interface of the mobile device in response to the display, user feedback information associated with the user prompting information; transmitting, via the network interface to the remote information source, at least a portion of the received user feedback information, wherein transmitting the at least a portion of the received user feedback information comprises transmitting the at least a portion of the received user feedback information via a second tone; receiving, via the network interface of the mobile device, additional content based at least in part on the received user feedback information; and receiving, at the mobile device in response to the transmitted user feedback information, a confirmation message, wherein the confirmation message indicates acceptance or rejection of the user feedback information. - View Dependent Claims (10, 11, 12, 13, 14, 15, 16)
