Abstract
Methods and apparatus for establishing network presence. In an embodiment, a method is provided for determining a presence score. The method includes capturing an image of a QR code displayed on a secondary device, capturing a sound clip of a sound signal reproduced on the secondary device, and transmitting the image and the sound clip to a server. The method also includes receiving a presence score determined from at least one of a comparison of the QR code to the image and a comparison of the sound signal to the sound clip.
Claims20
A method for establishing a presence score of a user, the method comprising:
- capturing an image of a QR code, generated by a server;
- capturing a sound clip of a sound signal, generated by the server;
- transmitting the image and the sound clip to the server, wherein a comparison of the image and the QR code yields a QR matching indicator and a comparison of the sound clip and the sound signal yields a sound signal matching indicator;
- and
- receiving a presence score for the user, based on a combination of the QR matching indicator and the sound signal matching indicator.
Apparatus for establishing a presence score of a user, the apparatus comprising:
- one or more processors configured to:
- capture an image of a QR code, generated by a server;
- capture a sound clip of a sound signal, generated by the server;
- transmit said image and said sound clip to the server, wherein a comparison of the image and the QR code yields a QR matching indicator and a comparison of the sound clip and the sound signal yields a sound signal matching indicator;
- and
- receive a presence score for the user, based on a combination of the QR matching indicator and the sound signal matching indicator.
A non-transitory computer readable medium on which are stored program instructions that, when executed by one or more processors, cause the one or more processors to establish a presence score of a user by performing operations of:
- capturing an image of a QR code, generated by a server;
- capturing a sound clip of a sound signal, generated by the server;
- transmitting said image and said sound clip to the server, wherein a comparison of the image and the QR code yields a QR matching indicator and a comparison of the sound clip and the sound signal yields a sound signal matching indicator;
- and
- receiving a presence score for the user, based on a combination of the QR matching indicator and the sound signal matching indicator.
