摘要

Disclosed herein is a technique whereby a user device joins a call conducted over a network, generates audio which can be processed to identify that user device and, during the call, outputs the audio such that it can be received by another user device in the vicinity of the user device which is already participating in the call, thereby enabling the other user device to identify that user device.
