Abstract
Embodiments of the present disclosure provide techniques for improving interaction dynamics between users and telecommunications devices through the use of encoded audio signals. An interaction system can obtain user inputs during a telecommunications session, obtain encoded audio signals based on these inputs, and transmit the encoded signals. A telecommunications device can receive these encoded audio signals, decode them to identify embedded instructions, and execute the corresponding operations, thereby facilitating enhanced interaction dynamics.
Claims21
A method comprising:
- during a telecommunications session involving an interaction system and a telecommunications device:
- receiving, by the telecommunications device, an encoded audio signal, wherein the encoded audio signal is associated with a predetermined operation, wherein the encoded audio signal is representative of content access information, wherein the encoded audio signal comprises a set of tones, each tone representing a discrete element of the content access information, and wherein a sequence of the set of tones forms a pattern corresponding to the content access information;
- decoding, by the telecommunications device, the encoded audio signal to identify instructions for executing the predetermined operation;
- and
- executing the predetermined operation by the telecommunications device in response to the instructions, wherein execution of the predetermined operation is facilitated through a task coordinator of the telecommunications device, without manual user intervention.
