Abstract: According to various embodiments, a mobile device continuously and/or automatically scans a user environment for tags containing non-human-readable data. The mobile device may continuously and/or automatically scan the environment for tags without being specifically directed at a particular tag. The mobile device may be adapted to scan for audio tags, radio frequency tags, and/or image tags. The mobile device may be configured to scan for and identify tags within the user environment that satisfy a user preference. The mobile device may perform an action in response to identifying a tag that satisfies a user preference. The mobile device may be configured to scan for a wide variety of tags, including tags in the form of quick response codes, steganographic content, audio watermarks, audio outside of a human audible range, radio frequency identification tags, long wavelength identification tags, near field communication tags, and/or a Memory Spot device.

Abstract: Described embodiments include a system and a method. A conversion table correlates each digit of the conversion table base system to a respective machine recognizable feature in an ultrasound echo response by a respective micro-object of a set at least two ultrasound-differentiable micro-objects (hereafter “set of micro-objects). An encoding apparatus encodes a data set into machine recognizable features of at least two micro-objects of the set of micro-objects pursuant to the conversion table. A selector apparatus picks from a physical set of the micro-objects at least two micro-objects having the machine recognizable features corresponding to the encoded data set. Each micro-object of the physical set of micro-objects is biocompatible and suitable for implantation in a vertebrate subject. Each micro-object while implanted returns an ultrasound echo having a machine recognizable feature differentiating the micro-object over each other micro-object of the set of micro-objects.
