Substituting or replacing components in sound based on steganographic encoding
View Patent ↗The present disclosure relates to various methods and systems to provide substitute sound (e.g., audio). One claim includes an apparatus comprising: electronic memory for storing identifying information obtained from steganographically encoded sound; an electronic processor programmed for: providing the identifying information to a remote computer, the remote computer including substitute sound corresponding to the identifying information; providing format information to the remote computer, the format information identifying a format in which the substitute sound should be formatted prior to communication of the substitute sound; and controlling receipt of substitute sound corresponding to the identifying information. Of course, other apparatus, methods and combinations are provided as well.
1. An apparatus comprising:
electronic memory for storing identifying information obtained from steganographically encoded sound;
an electronic processor programmed for:
providing the identifying information to a remote computer, wherein the remote computer is configured to include substitute sound corresponding to the identifying information;
providing format information to the remote computer, wherein the format information identifies a format in which the substitute sound should be formatted prior to communication of the substitute sound; and
controlling receipt of substitute sound corresponding to the identifying information.
2. The apparatus of claim 1 , wherein the electronic processor is further programmed for providing state information to the remote computer.
3. The apparatus of claim 1 , wherein the electronic processor is further programmed for providing a request for substitute sound.
4. The apparatus of claim 1 , wherein the electronic processor is further programmed for providing a request to provide substitute sound corresponding to the identifying information directly to a remotely located consumer device.
5. A method comprising:
storing identifying information obtained from steganographically encoded sound;
providing the identifying information to a remote computer, wherein the remote computer is configured to include substitute sound corresponding to the identifying information;
providing format information to the remote computer, wherein the format information identifies a format in which the substitute sound should be formatted prior to communication of the substitute sound; and
controlling receipt of substitute sound corresponding to the identifying information.
6. The method of claim 5 , further comprising providing state information to the remote computer.
7. The method of claim 5 , further comprising providing a request for substitute sound.
8. The method of claim 5 , further comprising providing a request to provide substitute sound corresponding to the identifying information directly to a remotely located consumer device.
9. A non-transitory computer readable medium comprising instructions stored therein, that if executed by a computing device, cause the computing device to perform operations comprising:
storing identifying information obtained from steganographically encoded sound;
providing the identifying information to a remote computer, wherein the remote computer is configured to include substitute sound corresponding to the identifying information;
providing format information to the remote computer, wherein the format information identifies a format in which the substitute sound should be formatted prior to communication of the substitute sound; and
controlling receipt of substitute sound corresponding to the identifying information.
10. The non-transitory computer readable medium of claim 9 , wherein the operations further comprise providing state information to the remote computer.
11. The non-transitory computer readable medium of claim 9 , wherein the operations further comprise providing a request for substitute sound.
12. The non-transitory computer readable medium of claim 9 , wherein the operations further comprise providing a request to provide substitute sound corresponding to the identifying information directly to a remotely located consumer device.
