The present invention relates to data transmission, and more particularly relates to use of extracted or calculated identifying data as proxies in transmission. One claim recites a method including: receiving identifying data and information from a handheld device, the identifying data having been calculated from audible portions or video portions of first content utilizing at least a programmed electronic processor housed within the handheld device, in which the handheld device comprises a media player for rendering audio or video content to a user of the handheld device, and the information comprises capabilities associated with the handheld device; with reference to a database, determining additional content, enhanced or improved relative to the first content, that is associated with: i) the identifying data, and ii) the information; and providing metadata associated with the additional content to the handheld device. These techniques could be advantageously applied to cell phones. Of course, other combinations and claims are also provided.
This application is a continuation of U.S. patent application Ser. No. 11/274,758, filed Nov. 14, 2005 (U.S. Pat. No. 7,545,951), which is a continuation of U.S. patent application Ser. No. 09/504,239, filed Feb. 15, 2000 (U.S. Pat. No. 6,965,682). The 09/504,239 application is a continuation-in-part of application Ser. No. 09/491,534, filed Jan. 26, 2000, which is a continuation-in-part of application Ser. No. 09/473,396, filed Dec. 28, 1999 (U.S. Pat. No. 6,577,746). The 09/504,239 application also claims the benefit of U.S. Provisional Patent Application No. 60/134,782, filed May 19, 1999, the disclosure of which is attached as Appendix A. The Ser. No. 11/274,758 application is also a continuation-in-part of copending application Ser. No. 09/476,686, filed Dec. 30, 1999, entitled Watermark-Based Personal Audio Appliance. Each of the above U.S. patent documents is hereby incorporated by reference.
The present invention relates to data transmission, and more particularly relates to use of extracted or derived data as proxies in transmission.
As detailed in the assignee's prior applications, including 60/134,782, 60/141,538, and Ser. No. 09/343,104, digital watermark technology has numerous applications beyond its traditional role of simply communicating copyright information. One futuristic view foresees that all “content” should be watermarked, thereby enabling a great variety of operations and transactions whenever watermarked content is processed by digital devices equipped with watermark recognition and reading technology. All physical media objects can thereby be inherently and persistently digitally-enabled, permitting greatly simplified access to networks and execution of local and remote applications. The continuing growth of the Internet and beginnings of trends toward pervasive computing signal an opportunity to radically change the relationships between traditional media content and digital processing environments.
Referring to FIG. 1, consider an exemplary network 10 linking two devices—a first device 12 associated with an originating user, and a second device 14 associated with a recipient user. The first device 12 is coupled to the network through a relatively low bandwidth channel, whereas the second device 14 is coupled to the network through a relatively high bandwidth channel. (For example, the first device may be an internet-capable cell phone having low resolution-, still image only-capture capabilities, providing a 9600 baud data channel, or it may be a home PC, with an associated PC or digital single shot camera, coupled to the internet with a 28.8 kbps modem. The second device may be a computer coupled to the internet through a 1.45 megabit per second T−1 line, a cable modem, etc.) The network 10 connecting the two devices includes various links—narrow bandwidth at some parts (e.g., 16), very broadband at other (e.g., internet backbone 18), etc.
