Ad hoc one-time pairing of remote devices using online audio fingerprinting
Abstract:
A system and method for sharing electronic data between participants of a phone conference, such as an online presentation, without a need to exchange passwords to link two devices together for data transfer nor go through a login procedure to access the data resource. To achieve this, the participants use a device or software application that samples the audio of the phone conversation and creates a stream of audio fingerprints. The streams of fingerprints are sent to a matching service on the internet. This matching service finds the fingerprints that correspond to the same conversation among the streams of simultaneous users. Once a match is found with a high enough confidence level, the matching service exchanges identifiers such as public IP addresses and sends those back to the fingerprinting units. When instructed by the user, the units can then proceed to setup a secure data connection.
