    Abstract: A method is provided that comprises tuning a radio system to a frequency band that contains a locally-broadcast terrestrial radio signal. The locally-broadcast terrestrial radio signal comprising a main signal component and a side data component is thereby received. In response to receiving the locally-broadcast terrestrial radio signal a determination is made as to a permissible time for processing the side data component using a time slot schedule. The side data component is processed at the permissible time. A message corresponding to the side data component is outputted to an output device. In some instances, the side data component includes the message. In other instances, the method further includes searching a message lookup list using a code included in the side data component. When a stored code is found that matches the code, the message corresponding to the matching stored code is outputted.

    Abstract: Methods and systems for advancing to another service from a plurality of services in a digital radio broadcast receiver are described. The methods and systems include the steps of receiving an instruction to advance to another service from a man-machine interface of the digital radio broadcast receiver, selecting an entry from a set of entries stored in a memory of the digital radio broadcast receiver responsive to the instruction, wherein each entry identifies a service, and wherein at least some of said services correspond to services identified as receivable, tuning to a first service identified by the selected entry, rendering content received on the first service at the digital radio broadcast receiver, and updating the set of entries stored in the memory of the digital radio broadcast receiver based on at least one criteria.

    Abstract: According to one aspect of the present invention, a controller is coupled to at least first and second signal processors (at least one of which includes analog demodulation circuitry and another of which includes digital demodulation circuitry). The controller may operate to disable the first signal processor responsive to a control signal that indicates that a second signal (corresponding to a demodulator output) is available from the second signal processor.

    Abstract: Adding relevant metadata to downstream media broadcasts to devices such as smart phones, MP3 music players, tablet computers, etc. equipped with media broadcast receivers such as IBOC, DAB etc will enable enhanced user-experience such as easy and faster content access, content format customization, content storage, integration with social networking sites etc. The host devices having the broadcast receivers on board have a full time or part time internet connection to provide an independent upstream and downstream digital data communication path for the functionality of the broadcast receiver. This will enable new possibilities in media-broadcast-receivers, which are normally limited with only downstream data channel. The possibilities include enhanced content access browsing, podcast access, exploring more information about the program content, easy integration with social networking sites etc. The devices are controlled to display or playback advertisements, images etc. in the metadata, detect click events indicating interest by a user in something and communicate that click event upstream over a full time or part time internet or an SMS data path connection. The transmitters have structure to insert metadata in band or out of band with the media broadcast program content.

    Abstract: A digital radio broadcast system includes a processing system that receives first audio content, first program data identifying a first item for the first audio content, second audio content, and second program data identifying a second item for the second audio content such that a start of the first program data is received at the processing system within 0.5 seconds of a start of the first audio content. A digital radio broadcast signal including the audio content and the program data is processed for digital radio broadcast transmission via a transmitter. The processing system stops delivery of the first program data to the transmitter upon receipt of the second program data, the first program data thereby being truncated, and begins delivery of the second program data to the transmitter. A digital radio broadcast receiver can tag content of interest based on a user command registered at the receiver.
