Abstract: The disclosure herein provides systems and methods for a media enhancement system configured to associate a secondary media signal (for example, the secondary media signal can comprise an advertisement) to a primary media signal (for example, a radio broadcast). The disclosure herein additionally provides systems and methods for a media enhancement system that enables the generating, transmitting, displaying, and/or responding to a plurality of associated and/or unassociated secondary media signals, based on a primary media content from a primary media signal, user characteristics (for example, demographic and/or geographic information), and/or third-party preferences (for example, the goals of advertisers). The secondary media signals can be used to enhance the primary media content already being provided to the user on a user device. The secondary media signals can also be used to create psychological associations or relationships with the primary media content already being provided to the user.

Abstract: An Automatic Purchase System (APS) provides a radio broadcast listener with the ability to conveniently purchase media content such as music or speech while listening to the radio. The user can respond to items in the radio broadcast such as advertisements, fund raising drives such as those conducted by public radio, or interactive listener polls during the broadcast. Data such as song title and artist, author or publisher and the IP address for the location where the digital version of the content is stored, can be transmitted using the RBDS/RDS data stream. A reference number representing song title and artist, author or publisher and the IP address for the location where the digital version of the content is stored can also be employed for ease of implementation. This reference number can reside in a lookup table to be accessed by the APS server software on a Data Server located at the broadcast site, a remote site or both for purposes of redundancy. Transmission of purchase requests from a Technology Enabled Radio (TER) is provided via wireless transmission, or by accessing the Internet using a personal computer or through a cellular or wireless phone.

Abstract translation: 自动购买系统（APS）提供一种无线电广播收听者，能够在收听广播时方便地购买音乐或言语等媒体内容。 用户可以响应广播中的项目，例如广播，公共广播中进行的筹款活动，或广播期间的交互式听众轮询。 可以使用RBDS / RDS数据流来发送诸如歌曲标题和艺术家，作者或发行者的数据以及存储数字版本的内容的位置的IP地址。 表示歌曲标题和艺术家，作者或发行者的参考号码以及存储数字版本的内容的位置的IP地址也可以被采用以便于实现。 该参考号码可以位于查找表中，以便APS服务器软件在位于广播站点的数据服务器，远程站点或两者上进行冗余访问。 通过无线传输或通过使用个人计算机或通过蜂窝或无线电话访问互联网来提供技术有效无线电（TER）的购买请求的传输。

Software on the device can then schedule the event into an electronic calendar system, and/or may use data associated with the media segment. At the appropriate time, the electronic calendar system may notify the user of the scheduled broadcast and/or event.
