Methods and systems for content management
Methods and systems for content management are described. If programming content is distributed to viewers, inaudible audio signals associated with the content may be output along with the content. If a user device detects the one or more inaudible signals, the user device may automatically navigate to a website, launch one or more applications, or send requests for services.
1 . A method comprising:
encoding, into content associated with one or more wagering services, data associated with the one or more wagering services, wherein the data associated with the one or more wagering services is configured to cause an output device to emit an inaudible audio signal comprising geolocation data associated with the one or more wagering services; and
sending the content and the data associated with the one or more wagering services.
2 . The method of claim 1 , wherein the data associated with the one or more wagering services comprises a uniform resource locator.
3 . The method of claim 1 , wherein the inaudible audio signal is configured to cause a user device to access the one or more wagering services.
4 . The method of claim 1 , wherein the data associated with the one or more wagering services comprises one or more identifiers associated with the one or more wagering services.
5 . The method of claim 1 , further comprising blocking access to the one or more wagering services based on the geolocation data and an identifier associated with a media device.
6 . The method of claim 1 , further comprising causing a media device to encode geolocation data into the inaudible audio signal.
7 . The method of claim 1 , further comprising causing, based on the inaudible audio signal, a user device to access the one or more wagering services.
8 . A method comprising:
receiving, by a media device, content comprising data associated with one or more wagering services; and
causing, based on the data associated with the one or more wagering services, an output device to emit an inaudible audio signal comprising geolocation data associated with the one or more wagering services wherein the inaudible audio signal is configured to cause a user device to access the one or more wagering services.
9 . The method of claim 8 , wherein the media device comprises a set-top-box.
10 . The method of claim 8 , wherein the data associated with the one or more wagering services comprises a uniform resource locator.
11 . The method of claim 8 , wherein causing the output device to emit the inaudible audio signal comprises causing the output device to output a signal in a kilohertz range.
12 . The method of claim 8 , wherein the inaudible audio signal is further configured to cause the user device to access the one or more wagering services by sending, to the user device, via the inaudible audio signal, a uniform resource locator associated with the one or more wagering services.
13 . The method of claim 8 , further comprising determining, based on geolocation data, that the user device is in a jurisdiction where wagering is allowed.
14 . The method of claim 8 , further comprising determining, based on geolocation data, that the user device is in a jurisdiction where wagering is prohibited.
15 . A method comprising:
detecting, by a user device, an inaudible audio signal output in content, wherein the inaudible audio signal is associated with one or more wagering services and comprises geolocation data;
based on detecting the inaudible audio signal, sending, to the one or more wagering services, the geolocation data and a request for one or more wagering opportunities associated with the content; and
receiving, from the one or more wagering services, based on the request, the one or more wagering opportunities.
16 . The method of claim 15 , wherein the user device comprises one or more of: a smartphone or a computer.
17 . The method of claim 15 , wherein the inaudible audio signal comprises a uniform resource locator associated with the one or more wagering services.
18 . The method of claim 15 , wherein the request for the one or more wagering services comprises one or more identifiers associated with the user device.
19 . The method of claim 15 , further comprising:
receiving, via a user interface of the user device, one or more user inputs associated with the one or more wagering opportunities; and
sending, to the one or more wagering services, one or more wagers.
20 . The method of claim 15 , further comprising outputting, via a user interface, the one or more wagering opportunities.
