Abstract: A monitoring receiver accepts program preferences from an operator. The receiver automatically monitors alternate frequencies for programming that matches the program preferences, alerts the operator when a match is found, and may switch to a preferred program. The receiver may be configured to automatically turn ON when a preferred program is located.

Abstract: A method and a device for a receiver for electromagnetic waves having at least two antennas are described; using this method and this device it is possible to effectively suppress multipath interference, while a portion of the antenna signals may also be utilized for other purposes at least temporarily, e.g., to allow better utilization of the possibilities of RDS activities. To do so, a first antenna signal (1) is used as the basis for generating a playback signal (23) when the signal quality of the first antenna signal (1) is above a defined threshold for undisturbed receptionnullcase 1. In this case 1, the signal quality of the first antenna signal (1) is determined. If the signal quality of the first antenna signal (1) falls below this thresholdnullcase 2nullthen a new signal y generated from at least two antenna signals (1, 2) is used as the basis for generating the playback signal (23). In case 2, the signal quality of new generated signal y and the signal quality of at least one antenna signal (2) are determined. New generated signal y is used as the basis for generating the playback signal (23) as long as the signal quality determined for the one antenna signal (2) is below this threshold and is evaluated as being inferior to the signal quality of the new generated signal y.

Abstract: One of the most frustrating things when recording for example songs from the radio is that many times by the time the user decides that he/she would like to record for example some song, the beginning of the song is already lost. Or the user might zap between radio stations and tune into the station after the song has already started or for example after the beginning of an interesting conversation or message or News item and is frustrated that he missed the beginning of it. Similarly, for example while zapping through cable TV stations, a user might find for example a fascinating scientific program or a fascinating report and regret that he/she had not seen or recorded it from the start for later reference. The idea of retroactive recording and/or replay has existed already since 1990 and there are a number of patents about it, but they do not deal with the problem of enabling retroactive recording and/or replay also when the user is zapping between channels for example on Radio or on TV. The present invention describes an improved system and method for automatic time-shifted retroactive recording or replay, that applies retroactive recording and/or replay also to a situation of switching between channels. Additional improvements and possible implementations are also shown.

Abstract translation: 录制来自收音机的歌曲中最令人沮丧的事情之一是，在用户决定他/她想要录制某些歌曲的时候，很多时候，歌曲的开头已经丢失了。 或者用户可能在广播电台之间进行切换，并且在歌曲已经开始之后调谐到电台，或者例如在开始有趣的对话或消息或新闻项目之后，并且沮丧，他错过了它的开始。 同样地，例如，当通过有线电视台进行切换时，用户可能会发现一个迷人的科学节目或迷人的报告，并且遗憾的是，他/她从一开始就没有看到或记录下来，以供以后参考。 追溯记录和/或重放的想法已经在1990年以来已经存在，并且有许多专利，但是当用户在通道之间进行切换时，它们也不处理启用追溯记录和/或重放的问题 在广播或电视上。 本发明描述了一种用于自动时移追溯记录或重放的改进的系统和方法，其适用于在通道之间切换的情况下追溯记录和/或重放。 还显示了其他改进和可能的实现。

Abstract: The invention relates to a method for receiving radio broadcast signals by means of a radio broadcast receiver and to a radio broadcast receiver designed for performing the method, wherein the broadcast receiver has at least two receiving units for different transmission techniques. The user selects a radio broadcast service of a first receiving unit of the at least two receiving units, and the selected radio broadcast service is then played back by the radio broadcast receiver. The other, second receiving unit for the different transmission technique of the radio broadcast receiver searches for an alternative radio broadcast service having preferably the same or comparable content during the playback of the radio broadcast service selected by the user, and the radio broadcast receiver automatically switches over to the second receiving unit having the alternative radio broadcast service if the first receiving unit cannot play back the selected radio broadcast service.

Abstract: A radio includes a first tuner and a second tuner. A processor compares a first perceivable volume level of a station tuned by the first tuner to at least one second perceivable volume level of at least one background station tuned by the second tuner. The processor enables automatic volume knob changes using a pre-calibrated lookup table that associates a volume step of the volume knob with a difference between the first perceivable volume level and the second perceivable volume level.

Abstract: A method of operating a single-tuner radio includes tuning into a first frequency. A pause in a first signal associated with the first frequency is detected. Tuning is switched from the first frequency to a second frequency during the pause. Fieldstrength, multipath, adjacent channel energy, frequency offset and FM modulation for the second frequency are measured. Tuning is switched from the second frequency to the first frequency. Tuning is switched from the first frequency to the second frequency dependent upon the measuring step.

Abstract: A receiver-server device that is a multi-tuner radio equipped with antenna capacity suitable for acquiring signal from multiple stations and providing remote access to that signal on a live or near-live basis via circular memory buffers accessible via the Internet is provided. Further, a smart user device is connected with the receiver-server device through the Internet as an input/output controller to select, scan and hear the available stations in live, near-live and fully time-shifted modes as well as in place-shift mode. A user may rewind or fast-forward the audio stream in a variety of increments or to pause the audio stream or return the audio stream to live monitoring. A home radio is provided for a user that can be accessed from anywhere, irrespective of the user's location, and performs in live, near-live and time-shifted modes.
