1. A computer-implemented method executed by one or more processors, the method comprising:
- determining at a first device, from among a plurality of different musical relationships, a particular musical relationship for generating a set of audio attribute values that are particular to the particular musical relationship, the set of audio attribute values to be modulated to transfer a data set to a second device, and wherein each set of audio attribute values are different from each other for each set of particular musical relationships;
selecting, based on the particular musical relationship, the set of audio attribute values that are particular to the particular musical relationship; and
transferring the data set to the second device by encoding the data set in an audio signal generated from modulating the audio attribute values.

Abstract
In some implementations, a process for communicating data over audio is performed. In one aspect, one or more ordered sequences of audio attribute values that are selected based on a musical relationship between the audio attribute values and associated with data values may be played by a first device and received by a second device. This technique may allow for sound-based communications to take place between devices that listeners may find pleasant.

16. A system comprising:
a first user device operable to interact with a second user device through a data communication network, wherein the first user device is further operable to; determine, at the first device, from among a plurality of different musical relationships, a particular musical relationship for generating a set of audio attribute values that are particular to the particular musical relationship, the set of audio attribute values to be modulated to transfer a data set to the second device, and wherein each set of audio attribute values are different from each other for each set of particular musical relationships; select, based on the particular musical relationship, the set of audio attribute values that are particular to the particular musical relationship; and transfer the data set to the second device by encoding the data set in an audio signal generated from modulating the audio attribute values. - View Dependent Claims (17, 18, 19)

20. A computer storage medium encoded with a computer program, the program comprising instructions that when executed by data processing apparatus case the data processing apparatus to perform operations comprising:
-
determining at a first device, from among a plurality of different musical relationships, a particular musical relationship for generating a set of audio attribute values that are particular to the particular musical relationship, the set of audio attribute values to be modulated to transfer a data set to a second device, and wherein each set of audio attribute values are different from each other for each set of particular musical relationships; selecting, based on the particular musical relationship, the set of audio attribute values that are particular to the particular musical relationship; and transferring the data set to the second device by encoding the data set in an audio signal generated from modulating the audio attribute values.
