Abstract: An accessory having an RF tuner for digital radio, such as HD radio, can be in communication with a media player such as a portable media device (“PMD”). The user can be given the ability to command the accessory to provide raw digital data, the ability to scan only for stations having digital audio content (or for all available stations), the ability to provide station lists of stations having digital audio content (or all available stations), and the ability to request and store metadata beyond that for stations actually being listened to provide enhanced search capabilities. Enhanced metadata and searching can provide the listener the ability to refine station choices without having to listen at length to any particular station, and further can facilitate tagging broadcast tracks for subsequent access and/or purchase.

Abstract: A host device can manage a controllable power adapter accessory using a communication protocol. Based on information provided by the controllable power adapter accessory as to its power capabilities and the power needs and preferences of the host device, the host device can determine a desired power profile and request power from the accessory conforming to the desired profile. The desired power profile can also depend in part on the power-carrying capability of one or more cables connected between the host device and the accessory. In some instances, the host device and controllable power adapter accessory can be connected via an intermediary accessory that can siphon power from the controllable power adapter accessory, and the host device can manage the power siphoning behavior of the intermediary accessory using the communication protocol.

Abstract translation: 主机设备可以使用通信协议管理可控电源适配器附件。 基于由可控电力适配器附件提供的关于其功率能力和主机设备的功率需求和偏好的信息，主机设备可以根据期望的配置文件确定期望的功率分布和请求功率。 期望的功率分布也可以部分地取决于连接在主机设备和附件之间的一个或多个电缆的功率承载能力。 在一些情况下，主机设备和可控电源适配器附件可以经由可从可控电源适配器附件虹吸电力的中间附件连接，并且主机设备可以使用通信协议来管理中间配件的功率虹吸行为。

Abstract: A portable electronic device can be used to present vehicle-specific information to a user. The portable electronic device can receive a message transmitted from a vehicle, the message including a unique vehicle identifier such as vehicle identification number (VIN). The portable electronic device can identify content based at least in part on the unique vehicle identifier, and present the content to the user. In some instances, the content may be presented to the user as audio output and/or visually on a display screen. Input can also be received from the user, and the portable electronic device can identify the content based in part on the received input and in part on the unique vehicle identifier.
