APPARATUS AND METHOD FOR USING AUDIO CONNECTORS TO ENABLE A WEB PAGE TO ACCESS PERIPHERALS NOT SUPPORTED BY A WEB BROWSER

摘要

A method for enabling a web page running on a web browser of a computing device to communicate data with a prohibited device that is peripheral to the computing device. The method includes establishing an audio communication channel between an audio interface of the prohibited peripheral device and an audio interface of the computing device to emulate communication with an allowed peripheral audio device, by performing at least one of modulating and demodulating the data, and communicating the modulated or demodulated data between the computing device and the prohibited peripheral device over the established audio communication channel, wherein the prohibited peripheral device is not one of a restricted group of allowed peripheral audio devices with which the web browser allows the web page to communicate via the computing device.
