Object identification and device communication through image and audio signals

This invention describes a system where your phone uses its camera and microphone to identify products around you. Specifically, it looks for special codes or data that are embedded directly into objects, displayed on screens, or hidden within sounds. Once identified, the phone sends this information to a cloud service, which then provides details about the product, logs your interaction with it, and can even suggest other products or help you navigate a store.

Why it matters: While AI advancements could improve identifier extraction, the primary challenge remains the reliable and scalable modulation of auxiliary data directly into diverse physical objects for phone detection.

Status: Not in forceListed as no longer active. The specific reason is not in the record we hold.
How hard to build: SpecializedSophisticated signal processing, cloud system
