Zusammenfassung:In accordance with embodiments of the inventions, systems and methods are provided to facilitate the processing of inaudible codes in audio and audio/visual streams broadcast over television, radio, computer, or in piped music or muzak, for example, by computing devices, such as mobile devices and computers, for example. The inaudible codes are associated with information provided by third parties, such as coupons, offers, advertising, explanatory information, etc. The mobile devices may include smart phones, tablets, laptop computers, digital readers, etc. Codes and corresponding offers may be provided to a computing device by a code/offer management system via a network, and stored by the computing device, upon the request of the respective device. When an inaudible code is received and identified by a respective device, it is compared to the stored codes and if there is a match, the corresponding offer may be identified and displayed or offered for display.
