A method for processing inaudible tones, comprising:
- receiving content from one or more sources;
- detecting one or more inaudible tones included in the content;
- extracting information associated with the one or more inaudible tones from the content;
- determining usage information associated with the content in response to the information, the usage information includes at least 1) licensing information, and 2) content information, the usage information also includes a geographic location where the content is played and a time of day the content is played;
- and
- communicating the usage information including at least the licensing information, and the content information to one or more of copyright owners, licensing entities, or parties with an ownership or controlling interest in the content in response to detecting the one or more inaudible tones in the content.
An inaudible tones device, comprising:
- a microphone receiving content from one or more sources;
- logic in communication with the microphone controlling the inaudible tones device, the logic detects one or more inaudible tones included in the content, extracts information associated with the one or more inaudible tones from the content, determines usage information associated with the content in response to the information, the usage information includes at least licensing information and content information, the usage information also includes a geographic location wherein the content is played and a time of day the content is played;
- and
- a transceiver in communication with the logic that communicates the usage information including at least 1) the licensing information and 2) content information to one or more of copyright owners, licensing entities, and parties with an ownership or controlling interest in the content in response to the logic detecting the one or more inaudible tones included in the content.
An inaudible tones device, comprising:
- a processor executing a set of instructions;
- a memory storing the set of instructions, wherein the set of instructions are executed to:
- receive content from one or more sources;
- detect one or more inaudible tones included in the content;
- extract information associated with the one or more inaudible tones from the content;
- determine usage information associated with the content in response to the information, the usage information includes at least 1) licensing information and 2) content information, the usage information also includes a geographic location where the content is played and a time of day the content is played;
