摘要:
Disclosed are portable devices having function for providing information and contents related to various kinds of acoustic sources, apparatuses for providing acoustic source information, and methods for providing acoustic source information. The portable device includes characteristic code extractor and controller. The characteristic code extractor receives acoustic source to divide the acoustic source into audio signal with audio frequency band and signal with supersonic frequency band, and extracts characteristic code of the audio signal with the audio frequency band from the signal with the supersonic frequency band. The controller transmits the characteristic code to acoustic information server, and outputs the acoustic source information corresponding to the characteristic code that is provided from the acoustic information server. Therefore, the acoustic source information can be provided without separate procedure for storing or processing various kinds of acoustic sources as well as music, and the process for providing acoustic source information is simpler.

The system and method may provide directions to the user of an electronic signal such as a radio or television broadcast. The directions guide the user from a current location to a destination associated with the electronic signal by accessing an address embedded within, or transmitted in conjunction with, the electronic signal. The address provides an indication to an online information provider an/or a database within which a listing of locations for a destination are provided. By comparing the various locations of the destination against the current location of the user, determined using Global Positioning System (GPS) data, the system is able to determine which location of the destination is closest and to provide appropriate directions. Maps and various other directional tools, including verbal directions and visual directions, may be generated. Reverse directions may also be generated from a destination to other predetermined way-points such as home, office or starting point.

An interactive media system (100) is provided for use with broadcast media wherein feedback is provided to subscribers of the system via subscriber access devices. Interactive radio mobile units are mounted within vehicles (104) or at other locations. In some embodiments, each mobile unit includes a receiver (116) for receiving radio broadcasts, a GPS system (118) for determining the location of the vehicle (104), and a wireless transmitter (120) for transmitting interactive radio control signals to a network operation center (110). While listening or viewing a media broadcast, the subscriber selects program segments of interest by pressing an interactive radio control button on the mobile unit. The program segments are, for example, individual musical selections, advertisements or the like. In response, the mobile unit transmits the carrier frequency of the radio broadcast, the date and time, the geographical location of the vehicle, and a subscriber identification signal to the network operation center (110) using the wireless transmitter (120). The network operations center (110) determines the identity of the selected program segment based upon the information transmitted from the mobile unit. Then, the network operation center (110) accesses databases (202) providing information pertaining to the selected program segment and provides the information to the subscriber via the Internet (111), such that the information can later be retrieved by the subscriber using a home or office computer (112) or the like.

An Internet television program guide system is provided that allows a user at a multimedia system to access information related to television programs over an Internet communications link. The user can view television program guide listings and related video stills and video clips. The user can perform database searches on the program guide listings (e.g., to search for a particular type of television program). If desired, the user can select an option that directs the multimedia system to tune directly to a television channel for a selected program or to a related television program guide or movie guide service on a television channel. The user can order pay-per-view events using the system.
摘要:
A system (10) provides direct automated access to an online information services provider (34a-34n) through an address embedded in a video or audio program, commercial message, or news story. The system operates with video or audio programs which are received through broadcast, cable or pre-recorded media, and which are encoded in either analog or digital formats. The address of an online information provider is encoded in a vertical blanking interval or other non-displayed portion of an electronic signal which represents the video or audio program so as not to interfere with the program as displayed or transduced on a television (22) or audio sound (26) system. The online information provider address is detected (42) and decoded from the electronic signal and used in establishing a direct digital communication link (32) to the online information provider. Upon detecting an online provider address, the system indicates (46) to the user that more information is available. The user may then elect to establish a connection with the online information provider by giving a simple command, e.g., pushing a special button on a remote control (56). The system then automatically establishes a direct digital communication link (32) to the online information provider through the address and provides for interactive information exchange and processing to permit signals received from the online information provider to be displayed on a conventional television (22), transduced on a sound system (26), or also on a high resolution reproducing system (40) such as a computer monitor, or other reproduction device.
摘要:
A system is disclosed for providing direct automated access to an online information services provider (34a, 34n) through an address embedded in a video or audio programm, commercial message, or news story. The system operates with video or audio programs (15) which are received through broadcast, cable or pre-recorded media, and which are encoded in either analog or digital formats. The address of an online information provider is encoded in a vertical blanking interval or other non-displayed portion of an electronic signal which represents the video or audio program so as not to interfere with the programs as displayed or transduced on a television or audio sound system (22, 40). The online information provider address is detected and decoded from the electronic signal and used in establishing a direct digital communication link to the online information provider (34a, 34n).
