The server generates a sound file with the encoded information on the frequencies of 19 to 20 kHz, corresponding to the link.
The message is encoded as a series of 0 and 1 and it is recorded as 101010000000000100000110001111110101111000 (the message corresponds to the number 1048). The number 1048 is converted into sound at frequencies from 19 to 20 kHz. The sound is recorded on the server in the form of a sound file.
A TV operator retrieves the sound file from the server via the Internet.
A TV operator combines (mixes) the original sound of the advertisement with the sound file downloaded from the server. The TV operator broadcasts the advertisement with a connected sound.
The advertisement is displayed on the recipient's TV, and the sound with an encoded information is emitted from the TV speakers.
The recipient runs the special software on a mobile device (mobile phone).
The software decodes the sound with the encoded information (recovering the previously encoded exemplary number 1048).
The software connects with the server, sends the decoded information (number 1048) with sound.
The server recognizes the encoded information (number 1048) and sends a link to a website located below the record in the database corresponding to the encoded number (1048) to the mobile device. The software launches a website that appears under the received link.
