USING NEAR-FIELD ACOUSTIC SIGNALS TO CONFIGURE END-USER DEVICES

摘要

A network service is provided that embeds encodes acoustic data to carry configuration parameters for configuring an end-user device. The network service then transmits or causes transmission of an acoustic signal carrying the configuration parameters to the end-user device. The end-user device detects information items corresponding to configuration parameters embedded in the acoustic data. The end-user device utilizes the configuration parameters in connection with performing select operations.

1. A method for configuring an end-user device, the method being implemented by one or more processors and comprising:
(a) obtaining information associated with an account or with the end-user device; (b) generating an acoustic configuration file that embeds configuration parameters that are based on the information associated with the account or with the end-user device; and (c) communicating the acoustic configuration file to a destination that is associated with the account, the acoustic configuration file being playable to generate an acoustic signal that conveys the configuration parameters to the end-user device.
