Abstract: A computer system receives information snippets from a mobile device. The information snippets are extracted from a simulcast of a data stream of a radio broadcast received on the mobile device. The system identifies content metadata from the information snippets. The content metadata describes one or more features of the radio broadcast. The system selects a radio station from a radio station repository based on attributes of the radio station. One of the selection criteria is that the attributes of the radio station match at least a portion of the content metadata. The system presents a reference to the radio station to the mobile device as a recommendation.

Abstract: A system and method for delivering geographically restricted content, including but not limited to over-air broadcast programming, to a recipient over a computer network, namely the Internet. The content is only delivered over the computer network if the recipient's computer or network device requesting the content over the network is verified to be located in the geographically restricted area. A conventional tuner is employed by the recipient's computer to receive one or more over-air signals having a broadcast range deemed to be synonymous with the geographically restricted area for the requested content. If the tuner is able to receive such over-air signal(s), the requested content is delivered over the network to the recipient's computer. This is because the recipient is known to be physically located in the geographically restricted area by the ability of the tuner to receive the over-air signal(s).

Abstract: A digital filter operates on the basis of a first clock having a first frequency. A stereo modulator operates on the basis of a second clock having a second frequency higher than the first frequency and being asynchronous. The stereo modulator performs a predetermined process on output data of the digital filter. A frequency modulator operates on the basis of a third clock having a third frequency whose origin is the same as that of the second clock, and performs frequency modulation on an output signal of the second digital computing unit. A sampling converter receives output data having the first frequency from the digital filter, converts a sampling frequency to data synchronized with the second clock, and outputs the obtained data to the stereo modulator.

Abstract: An apparatus and a method for automatically establishing a new wireless link, when the original wireless link between the apparatus and a commercially available FM radio receiver is interfered by other signal sources, thereby eliminating the need to manually configure both the target FM radio receiver and the apparatus to a suitable FM frequency. The apparatus modulates an audio signal on a selected frequency and transmits the resulting FM signal to the target FM radio receiver, scans an FM spectrum for available frequencies, selects one of the available frequencies as an alternate frequency, transmits a Radio Data System compatible command incorporating the alternate frequency to configure the target FM radio receiver to tune to the alternate frequency when reception conditions are poor.

Abstract: A broadcast radio event such as a song or a concert promotion, and a plurality of radio data fields corresponding to the event such as RTplus information, are received at a device. A user selects to display broadcast radio options simultaneous with receiving the broadcast radio event. Then is displayed a set of user-selectable options, at least one o which is derived from at least one of the radio data fields. In various embodiments, each time a new set of radio data fields are received, the set of displayed options is updated, with certain provisions to ‘freeze’ the displayed set of options. Examples of a derived option include a link to an Internet page, a phone number or email address, and posting a time and place of an advertised event to a calendar. A method, device, computer program product, and apparatus are detailed.

Abstract: An electronic device such as a cellular telephone, for example, includes a receiver that receives broadcast radio signals transmitted by a commercial broadcast radio station. The broadcast radio signals include information that identifies a location of the radio station, an antenna associated with the radio station, or the radio station. The device also includes positioning circuitry to allow the device to determine its current location. A controller in the device extracts the information identifying the radio station from the received broadcast signal, and acquires one or more satellites of a navigational system based on the information.

Abstract: A signal receiver and a method for separating a RDS signal component from a received signal is described. After the received signal has been downconverted to the baseband, the baseband signal is split up into a first baseband signal for a first signal path and a second baseband signal for a second signal path. The first baseband signal is highpass filtered and forwarded to a frequency synchronization unit that generates a frequency synchronization carrier. The second baseband signal is modified in accordance with the frequency synchronization carrier provided by the first signal path, and a synchronized baseband signal is obtained that still comprises the full range of the RDS signal's spectral components.
