Abstract

Systems and methods are disclosed for customizing, distributing and processing audio signature data. Examples disclosed herein include waking a portable device from an inactive state in response to an activation signal. Disclosed examples also include generating a first signature based on audio from a microphone of the portable device during a period of time specified by the activation signal. Disclosed examples further include comparing the first signature with a second signature obtained from the activation signal to determine a match score, and communicating a match result based on the match score to a server via a network.
