Systems and Methods for Utilizing Tones

A system for utilizing tones, comprising:

• a recipient computing device that includes a processor and a memory component that stores logic that, when executed by the processor, causes the system to perform at least the following:
• receive an audio signal, wherein the audio signal includes content;
• determine whether the received audio signal includes a tone;
• in response to determining that the audio signal includes a tone, determine data provided in the tone;
• utilize the data to perform an action, wherein the action includes at least one of the following:
• launch an application, launch a website, and launch a widget.

A non-transitory computer-readable medium for utilizing tones that stores logic that, when executed by a computing device, causes the computing device to perform at least the following:

• receive content for broadcast to a recipient computing device;
• receive the data for including with the content, wherein the data includes an instruction for the recipient computing device to perform in response to detecting the data;
• convert the data into a tone for inclusion with the content;
• determine a location within the content to include the tone;
• incorporate the tone into the content at the location, such that the tone and the content and broadcast to the recipient computing device;
• and
• provide the tone and the content for broadcast.
