# SoniControl

SoniControl is a novel technology for the recognition and masking of acoustic tracking information. The technology helps end-users to protect their privacy. Technologies like Google Nearby and Silverpush build upon ultrasonic sounds to exchange information. More and more of our devices communicate via this inaudible communication channel. Every device with a microphone and a speaker is able to send and receive ultrasonic information. The user is usually not aware of this inaudible and hidden data transfer. To overcome this gap SoniControl detects ultrasonic activity, notifies the user and blocks the information on demand. Thereby, we want to raise the awareness for this novel technology.

The project website of the SoniControl project with all published results and resources can be found here: [sonicontrol.fhstp.ac.at](https://sonicontrol.fhstp.ac.at). You can download the SoniControl app on the [Google Play Store](https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=at.ac.fhstp.sonicontrol).

## Getting Started

* The folder "SoniControl" contains the code for the Android SoniControl app.

* The folder "SoniControl_Octave" contains the prototypes developed during the SoniControl project using GNU Octave.

* The folder "SoniControl_Server" contains the code for the server application of SoniControl.

### Documentation

* User documentation available on our website: [sonicontrol_user_doc.pdf](https://sonicontrol.fhstp.ac.at/wp-content/uploads/2017/07/sonicontrol_user_doc.pdf)
