Inject 2.

5 – Talking about transmitters & receivers by Peter Neuthinger

Transmitters:
We usually work only with the swipe transmitter. The three other transmitters (Basic, List & Cards)
you normally will only need if you work with an assistant who is not familiar with swiping. One
special transmitter is your googled page. It acts as receiver but also in some cases as transmitter
(see below).

With the “Cards” transmitter the assistant only has to select an image of a card and the value will
be transmitted to any receiver.
With the “list”-transmitter you can produce a list of words and you’ll get different push buttons.
The value is send to the receiver if you push the corresponding button.
The basic transmitter lets the assistant send any value. So you could use this transmitter when a
spectator selects a word and shows it to the other spectators. Your assistant could type it and
you’ll see it on the monitor page/watch. But actually the assistant could do a googled search on
your fake google page with the same effect.
The standard “Swipe” transmitter recognizes a swiped pattern (up-down-right-left) and looks up
the corresponding swipe value.
With the transmitter set to “simple value” it always sends only the swipe value to all connected
receivers and ALWAYS also to your fake googled-page. With the transmitter set to template the
swipe value is pasted into the template where the placeholder (--value--) is located. Then it sends
the complete string to all the receivers.
Some receivers expect simple numbers others single words and complete URLs.
That’s why on some complex effects like the Cluedo-effect which uses one transmitter but several
receivers, we use simple value instead of template. If you would use template, the transmitter
would paste the swipe value at placeholder (--value--) and send it to all the receivers. This would
be ok for some receivers, but web albums would also receive the complete URL, while expecting
only a number. And therefore they would not react to this thumper.

Receivers:
There are three different receivers in inject: an image receiver (e.g. Houdini, Hotel key effect,
Billard card, Chess card), web album receivers (e.g. actors list, ESP, ACAAP, Euro-coins Xmas &
Easter-album) and your googled page.
An image receiver will show the content of an internet page with the swiped value as URL (it
expects a complete URL): if it exists, fine. If not you will see Harry Houdini with the 2 of hearts
(default error image). For example, this will be the case if it only receives a number. But it will wait
for a correct URL (except if you turn sticky on: then it won’t change after two minutes).
A web album receiver will wait for a number. This number will tell the receiver the sequence
number and it will show the content of the image URL which is stored at that position (starting
with 1). A web album may contain up to 100 images. That’s why the order in the web album is of
utmost importance. If the receiver receives a number larger than the number of entries or another
value like an URL it will just do nothing! I use these features in the different effects like “Cluedo”
and “Numbers”.
For the image receiver and the web album receiver you have to define “authorized thumpers”, i.e.
the transmitters from which they accept inputs. This is done when editing the receiver. If you
create a new effect transmitters and receiver are automatically linked. If you do a copy of an
existing receiver it will be still connected to the old transmitter! You have to adjust this manually.
(By the way (off topic): if you do a copy of a receiver with an alias this alias will also be set for the
new receiver. This is not possible by definition and a bug. You have to delete the alias in one of the
receivers.

Your googled page is used for many effects. It’s used for the standard google peek, but it also
receives complete URLs to redirect to YouTube-Videos or it will launch a search for a swiped value
(e.g. actor’s swipe, city swipe & planets swipe). Depending on the spectators phone you are using
and the apps installed and permissions given it will open the URL within the browser on the same
tab or will open another app (like maps or amazon).
If you send a complete URL it will open this page in the internet browser. So you could use your
googled-page as receiver for “Houdini” (not recommended because the spectator will see the URL
(…4H.jpg and probably try similar ones).

The googled page in details

Since version 2.5 most entries on the inject-settings-menu web-tab (Web, Videos, Images, Maps,
YouTube & Video) which were used to localize the googled page are obsolete.
This is done by tapping the rubik’s cube grid (3x3) and then calendar. You can set country and
language, but usually you can leave it at auto-detect.
The “Address bar” in the rubik’s grid is used on Android phones when using Chrome to have a nice
camouflage URL. Don’t use it on Samsung browser where the Top line with the URL will be lost (not
implemented).

The googled page is a receiver, a transmitter and a monitor.

Setting the search result: normally a regular google-search will be performed with either the
thumped value or the entered value. If you tap “Images” instead of “All” the Google-symbol will
change to Google-images and a google-image-search will be performed.
You can also tap the grid-symbol and check one of the following 6 options: amazon, yahoo, maps,
youTube, imdb or wiki. This will open the corresponding homepage AND if available the external
app (Maps, Wiki, Amazon). If not used always on the spectators’ phone you have to select the app
manually and confirm this. This can screw up your performance.
What’s nice: even if not in incognito mode the googled-page is not shown when hitting “back” (it
may be found in history though). What’s not so nice: only the corresponding US-version of the
service is called, which looks weird in some countries.
What’s a bug: if Wiki as external app is called for it won’t find anything (at least Android, Samsung
S9+). E.g. if you search for Einstein the browser opens Wiki and Albert Einstein, whereas the Wiki-
App has “no search results”. If you do the same search in the app, it will find Einstein, of course.
If you set one of these options (amazon, yahoo, imdb…) the selection of” images” is neglected.
Note: if you perform a YouTube effect (e.g. YouTube-cards, ACAAN, panic cards) just leave the
googled page in a normal search. You don’t have to set YouTube as search result. As the complete
YouTube URL is thumped, your googled-page will automatically redirect to YouTube.

Googled-page as monitor: there are two ways to use your googled-page as monitor. Open your
googled page either with the ending “!” (11z.co/your-ID!) or open it regularly and tap twice on the
sign in-button. This will show you the last value thumped or the last value searched for from
another instance of your googled-page. The second way is to open your googled-page on another
phone. The search string of your googled-page in phone #1 will do the same search on the second
phone.
Delayed thumping: when you open your googled-page with the following ending:
googled.co/your-ID:##, where ## means the time delay in seconds a standard googled page will
appear. Default is 30 seconds if you use only “:”
5 seconds before the countdown ends a tic in the magnifying glass appears to tell you something
will happen soon.
When the countdown has run out the googled page will start a search for the last value searched
for from another googled page or for the last thump you have transmitted, even before this time
delayed page was opened. A stack (from wait or concat function) is not taken into account.
If you use the time delay to change the search result (images, amazon, youtube, yahoo, imdb, wiki,
maps) the search result will be accordingly.

Besides the modification of the search results, the monitor-function and the delayed thumping the
googled page has following modes of operation:
Normal mode, Concat mode, Wait mode & additionally concatenated search mode. The latter
you can use in combination with the first three modes. There is also one more special mode the
qp-mode.

To choose between normal mode, concat & wait, tap on the grid symbol and choose one of the
options in the third line. Normal is the default mode.
The additional concatenated mode is switched on/off by tapping twice on the Google-Symbol. A
small dot will appear next to “images” if it is set to on.

Normal mode (former YouTube-mode): You use this for many effects like youTube cards, City-
swipe, so basically for all effects where you swipe a value but you don’t have a designated (image
or web-album-) receiver for your transmitter.
If a googled-page in normal mode receives a string (this can be either a thumped swipe value from
your inject-app or any value entered in the search box of another instance of your googled-page
(set to ANY mode. Either same phone, different tab, other phone, pc…) it will immediately perform
a search according to the search settings (regular, images, amazon, youTube, imdb, maps, wiki,
yahoo) and open the corresponding page/app.
When something is already written in the search text while a thump or search string from another
phone is received, this entry will normally NOT be taken into account for the search. Exception:
concatenated search, see below.
Concat mode (former Videos-mode): when a googled page is set to concat-mode via the grid
menu the following will happen. Everything you type in the search box and send via
enter/magnifying glass will be sent also to a stack. While other googled-pages in normal mode or
concat-mode will immediately perform a search with the first sent value, the text will stay in the
search box and the (concat-) googled-page itself will not perform a search. It will wait either for a
thump or another value sent from ANY other googled-page. When receiving something it will do a
search for this value but not for the text which is written in the search field or had been sent to the
stack by this page (exception: concatenated search, see below).

Wait mode (former Video-mode): the wait-mode works similar to the concat-mode but only starts
a search if receiving a thump from the inject-app. So everything you type in the search box and
send via enter/magnifying glass will be sent also to a stack. While other googled-pages in normal
mode or concat-mode will immediately perform a search with the first sent value, the text will stay
in the search box and the (wait-) googled-page itself will not perform a search. It will wait only for
a thump. Also other googled-pages in wait-mode will not perform a search but collect the sent
search string in their own stack. When receiving a thump it will do a search for this value plus all
strings sent to the stack by other googled-pages in wait- or concat-mode. But again it will not
search for the text which is written in the search field or had been sent to the stack by this page
(exception: concatenated search, see below). Each googled-page in wait-mode starts to collecting
its own stack only after it has been opened.

Example: you can do this on a PC/mobile with several tabs opened.

Tab 1: normal mode, tab 2: concat mode, tab 3: wait mode
In tab 2 search for “one”. This will make tab 1 to search for “one”, Tab 3 collects “one” in its stack.
Open a new tab 4 in wait mode. On tab 2 delete “one”, type “two” press search. This will send
“two” to the stacks of tab 3 and 4. On tab 3 search for “three”. This will cause a search for “three”
in tab 2 (“two” is neglected”) and send “three” to the stack of tab 4. In tab 4 search for “four”. This
will add “four” to the stack of tab 3. Now send a thump from Inject (e.g. basic thumper “test”).
Tabs 1 & 2 are already out of the game. Tab 3 will now do a search for “one two four test” and tab
4 will do a search for “two three test” (tab 4 wasn’t open when “one” was sent.)

Concatenated search: tapping the Google-logo twice (slowly) enables the concatenated search.
You can now spot a dot next to images. As mentioned several times above the text already written
in the search field of any googled-page (all modes) is usually neglected when receiving a thump. So
if you type “How old is “ and send either via thump or from another googled-page “Tom Cruise”
normally the “How old is” won’t be taken into account and a search for “Tom Cruise” will be
performed. To avoid this you can concatenated search on. This simply tells the googled-page: “also
search for the text written in the search field”.

qp-mode - Covert typing text:

The practical usage of the concatenated search is the covert typing text method. You can set a
covert typing text in the inject settings web-tab. E.g. „How tall is Johnny Depp“. When borrowing
phone 1 you set the googled-page to concatenated search by tapping twice on the google-logo.
Then you type “How old is “, turn away, acting as if you enter a name.
You borrow phone 2, open your googled-page in normal mode and ask for an actor’s name (“Tom
Cruise”). You start typing openly qp. This already makes the first two letters of your covert typing
text appear in the search field “Ho”. While you type „Tom Cruise“ more letters of your text appear
(„w tall is „). No one will notice that you type something completely different. Type again “qp” and
continue typing any letters. Meanwhile the rest of your sentence will appear („Johnny Depp“).
When hitting search, the mobile you are holding will search for “How tall is Johnny Depp” while
the name „Tom Cruise“ is send top hone 1 and strings together with “How old is “. So phone one
will search for “How old is Tom Cruise”.
Attention: the backspace key is also working for the text between the two “qp”. Dangerous: the
backspace key will delete the text between the qp’s also if the second qp is already typed. There is
no way to get back in the qp mode!
Should you try to send a thump while one page is in qp mode it will not react to the thump, but all
other pages do. The typed text is memorized though and if you open a new googled page and end
the covert typing by hitting enter a search with the words between qp’s will be performed.

Using mmm as placeholder:

With the place holder mmm you can enter covert type text also in the middle of a sentence. Type
„What is mmm real name?“ in phone 1. This will paste „Tom Cruise “ in the middle of the sentence
instead of pasting to the end. Make sure to add a space behind Tom Cruise.
Table monitoring:
All web-album–receiver have a monitoring function, where you can monitor the actual image
shown on the spectators phone, e.g. at ESP-effect, hand-gestures, ACAAP, ACAAN or web-album. If
you open the receiver in Inject you are asked to enter a table-ID. Normally this is a long number
automatically set if you don’t choose one yourself. If you open e.g.: www.googled.co/user-ID/ESP it
will change to www.googled.co/user-ID/ESP-123456. You can add your own ID by adding e.g. -1. If
you open (better before you start the performance) your ESP receiver and enter table ID 1 you will
see this image. If you don’t enter an ID and hit “cancel” the image is shown nevertheless but if
there are several ESP receiver opened (maybe from earlier performances) the image will change
every few seconds showing all selected images on all of your ESP-receivers opened.

By the way...if you are just practicing to swipe different pattern and you wonder why your watch
or mobile doesn't get the push notification (only vibrates if enabled): this just means that there is
no receiver in the worldwide web waiting/receiving a message of you.
So either on your mobile, a different one or a pc, one of your receivers must be opened. This can
be e.g. the Houdini receiver or the googled.co/user-ID page.
ONLY then you will get a notification on your mobile and your watch!

Note 1: if you swipe a value and have your googled.co page open, you'll get only one push notifica-
tion. That's it. As the googled.co will redirect to the swiped value or google search you won't have
a googled.co page open anymore, so no more notifications!
So if you want to get more notifications in a row (for practice reasons (e.g. if you swipe in your
pocket), use an image receiver like Houdini, as it does not redirect to another page.

Note 2: the page opened can be a completely different one from the one you are practicing on: so
if you are practicing Houdini and you have opened e.g. web album on any device, you will get noti-
fications! So notification do not necessarily mean that someone has opened the correct Houdini-
receiver and received the message, it only means that inject has send it to one of your pages.
