SYSTEMS AND METHODS FOR CONFIGURING MEDIA DEVICES UTILIZING AUDIO CODES OR SIGNATURES

摘要

Example systems and methods for configuring media devices utilizing audio codes and/or signatures are disclosed. Example methods disclosed herein include determining a characteristic of audio data received by a device, the characteristic including at least one of a code detected in the audio data or a signature generated from the audio data. Disclosed example methods also include determining whether the characteristic is mapped to at least one of a first command or a second command. Disclosed example methods further include, in response to determining the characteristic is mapped to the first command, executing the first command to cause the device to connect to a communication session to receive an upgrade to software executable on the device, and in response to determining the characteristic is mapped to the second command, executing the second command to cause a previously locked feature of the device to be unlocked.

1. A method comprising:
determining, by executing a first instruction with a processor, a characteristic of audio data received by a device, the characteristic including at least one of a code detected in the audio data or a signature generated from the audio data; determining, by executing a second instruction with a processor, whether the characteristic is mapped to at least one of a first command or a second command to be executed by the device to modify operation of the device; in response to determining the characteristic is mapped to the first command and not the second command, executing the first command on the device to cause the device to connect to a communication session to receive an upgrade to software executable on the device; and in response to determining the characteristic is mapped to the second command and not the first command, executing the second command on the device to cause a previously locked feature of the device to be unlocked.
