摘要:
Described herein are devices and systems that transmit data from a first device using an ultrasonic digital modem to a second device that receives the ultrasonic signal and can interpret the ultrasonic signal. The second device may be a telecommunications device such as a smartphone running an ultrasonic digital modem receiver application. In particular, devices, systems and methods for encoding and transmitting an ultrasonic signal that includes both digital (e.g., FSK) and analog signal components. Such hybrid ultrasonic signals may efficiently and reliably transmit information, and particularly biological information. Also described herein are devices, systems and methods for securely transmitting ultrasonic signals using encryption keys that may be read by the receiving device using a separate (e.g., non-ultrasound modality) from the transmitting device.
