Abstract: ABSTRACT The present invention provides audio information label/acoustic tag for delivering product information and system and method for reading an audio information label/acoustic tag. Accordingly, an acoustic tag system comprising an acoustic tag associated with an object is disclosed. The acoustic tag comprises an acoustic reflector surface configured for generating a characteristic acoustic signal in response to receiving a trigger in the form of an ambient sound wave and wherein the characteristic acoustic signal is an encoded form of information relating to the object associated with the acoustic tag and a decoding application installed on a user device, the decoding application configured for receiving the characteristic acoustic signal, decoding the characteristic acoustic signal in order to obtain the information embedded within the characteristic acoustic signal and displaying the information so obtained.
We Claim:
1. An audio information label associated with an object, the audio information label
comprising:
an acoustic reflector surface configured for generating a characteristic acoustic signal in response to a trigger signal received in a form of an ambient sound wave and wherein the characteristic acoustic signal is an encoded form of information related to the object associated with the audio information label.
2. The audio information label according to claim 1, wherein the acoustic reflector surface is imprinted on a substrate, and wherein the substrate is affixed to attached or tagged on an object or goods.
3. The audio information according to claim 1, wherein the substrate with reflector surface is secured around the object.
4. The audio information label according to claim 1, wherein the characteristic acoustic signal is generated using an audio tag library.
5. An audio information labelling system comprising:
an audio information label associated with an object, and wherein the audio information label comprises an acoustic reflector surface configured for generating a characteristic acoustic signal in response to a receipt of a trigger in a form of an ambient sound wave and wherein the characteristic acoustic signal is an encoded form of information related to the object associated with the audio information label; and
18
a user device installed with a decoding application module, and wherein the decoding application module is configured for receiving the characteristic acoustic signal, and wherein the decoding application is configured to decode the characteristic acoustic signal to obtain/retrieve the information embedded within the characteristic acoustic signal; and
a user interface provided in the user device for displaying the retrieved information of the goods;
wherein the user device is any one of a computing device or a portable computing device or mobile phone.
6. The audio information labelling system according to claim 5, wherein the characteristic acoustic signal is generated using an audio tag library, and wherein the audio tag library is stored in a central server, and wherein the central server is connected to the acoustic label in a wired or wireless manner.
7. The audio information labelling system according to claim 5, wherein the characteristic acoustic signal is decoded using the audio tag library, and wherein the user device is communicatively coupled to the central server to access the audio tag library.
8. The audio information labelling system according to claim 5, wherein the acoustic reflector surface is imprinted on a substrate, and wherein the substrate is affixed or attached or tagged on an object or goods or secured around the object.
19
9. A method of reading information contained in an audio information label, the method comprising steps of:
imprinting an audio information label comprising an acoustic reflector surface configured for generating a characteristic acoustic signal upon receiving a trigger in a form of an ambient sound wave and wherein the characteristic acoustic signal is an encoded form of information related to an object/goods associated with the audio information label;
generating an ambient sound wave to be incident on the audio information label through a user device;
receiving a characteristic acoustic signal reflected by the audio information label in response to the incident ambient sound wave;
decoding the characteristic acoustic signal in order to obtain the information encoded within the characteristic acoustic signal; and
displaying the information so obtained.
