    <p>Well I am currently working on a similar system of transmitting data using these high frequencies and this is what I found out. Al-thou keep in mind that I am doing this with Android phones, mostly Galaxy S line. First of all spectrum of 20khz to 22khz seems quite promising because it can be detected by all phones we tested and even reproduced by some of them. These frequencies are inaudible to humans of any age and even the dogs and cats seem to not notice them. If you are targeting (actually avoiding) detection by humans you could even go to as low as 18khz since most people wouldn't hear that. This gives you a bandwidth of 4000hz which you can Frequency modulate a data into. Of course don't expect to transmit 8mp images but some small data can be transmitted. You are right in the part that you could than use FFT to transit into frequency domain and analyse those frequencies, this can be done even on older phones in Java (I think doing it in objective c would be even faster).</p> <p>Also if you have few iPhones on your disposal you could install any frequency analyser and play the frequencies you want on another iPhone or some speaker to test what they can detect. Just keep in mind that standard desktop speakers would probably be able to play the given frequencies but will introduce noise of lower frequency. Piezo tweeters are probably best for these type of sounds al-thou I must say I am using iPhone 4 to play these frequencies for testing quete efficiently.</p> <p>I read somewhere that Shopkick now even plays there sound codes over stores PA-s and since those speakers are not really optimised for above 20khz response I too am starting to suspect they are using frequencies below that. Take a look at this website for different store codes that some people are using to cheat the system <a href="http://www.ceploitips.com/2011/03/shopkick-walk-in-files.html" rel="nofollow">http://www.ceploitips.com/2011/03/shopkick-walk-in-files.html</a> Keep in mind that using these might ban your account since they improved there misuse detection algorithms.</p> <p>Also I too would like to read more about the Shopkick implementation so if anyone viewing this has some link please share.</p>
