Abstract

Embodiments of the present disclosure provide for improved data transmission and tracking of data transmitted utilizing wireless networks. Wirelessly transmitted enhanced signal waves, such as enhanced radio signal waves, are commonly transmitted within a particular defined or target geographic area. Data associated with particular content embodied by particular enhanced signal waves may be transmitted and received by a specially configured signal processor, such that the specially configured signal processor may extract such additional data and cause outputting of such additional data via a separate, connected device. In the example context of radio transmissions, embodiments provide for receiving an enhanced radio transmission signal including radio transmission content and enhanced external display data, such embodiments extracting the enhanced external display data and forwarding the enhanced external display data to a deliverables connected client device to cause rendering, via the deliverables connected client device, of a deliverables display interface based at least in part on the enhanced external display data.

Description

CROSS-REFERENCE TO RELATED APPLICATIONS This application is a continuation of and claims priority to U.S. application Ser. No. 17/451,261, titled “APPARATUSES, COMPUTER-IMPLEMENTED METHODS, AND COMPUTER PROGRAM PRODUCTS FOR IMPROVED DATA TRANSMISSION AND TRACKING” filed Oct. 18, 2021, which claims priority to U.S. Provisional App. No. 63/133,032 filed Dec. 31, 2020, the contents of each of which are incorporated by reference herein in their entireties. TECHNOLOGICAL FIELD Embodiments of the present disclosure generally relate to transmission, processing, and tracking of wirelessly transmitted signals, and specifically to enabling outputting, via deliverables connected client device(s), of enhanced external display data associated with content of wirelessly transmitted enhanced signal waves, and tracking of access, interaction, and/or other engagement with such enhanced external display data. BACKGROUND Enhanced signal waves wirelessly transmitted for output to one or more users often are transmitted without any ability to know what users and/or devices received the enhanced signal waves. Additionally or alternatively, for example, the enhanced signal waves may correspond to additional content that conventionally is incapable of being output by receiving device(s). For example, in the context of enhanced radio signal wave transmissions, conventionally such enhanced radio signal waves are transmitted that contain basic audio content (e.g., songs, advertisements, and/or voice data to be output by speakers of a recipient radio) and/or basic “now playing” information associated with the basic audio content (e.g., artist information, song title information, and/or the like). Applicant has discovered problems with current implementations for transmitting and tracking of wirelessly transmitted signals. Through applied effort, ingenuity, and innovation, Applicant has solved many of these identified problems by developing embodiments of the present disclosure, which are described in detail below.
