Systems and methods for providing access to resources through enhanced audio signals
First Claim
1. A computer-implemented method for providing a resource through an enhanced broadcast signal, the method comprising:
- encoding, as a watermark, a resource identifier in a broadcast signal to create the enhanced broadcast signal, wherein the resource identifier is associated with a resource, and wherein the watermark includes authentication data to authenticate the resource;
providing the enhanced broadcast signal to one or more user devices;
receiving a request, at a central registry, from one of the one or more user devices that has received the enhanced broadcast signal including the resource identifier, the request including the resource identifier;
retrieving, from the central registry, in response to the received request, information for accessing the resource associated with the resource identifier;
sending to the one of the one or more user devices, in response to the received request, information for accessing the resource; and
authenticating, by the central registry, the resource based at least on the authentication data.

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.

7. A computer-implemented method for accessing a resource specified by an enhanced broadcast signal, the method comprising:
-
receiving an enhanced broadcast signal including a resource identifier that is encoded in the enhanced broadcast signal, wherein the resource identifier is associated with the resource, and wherein enhanced broadcast signal includes authentication information to authenticate the resource; detecting the resource identifier within the enhanced broadcast signal; extracting, using a processor, the resource identifier from the enhanced broadcast signal; sending, to a server, a request including the resource identifier; and receiving, from the server, access information for accessing the resource via the network; and authenticating the resource with the server based on the authentication data. - View Dependent Claims (8, 9, 10, 11, 12, 13, 14, 15)
