Abstract: By detecting the broadcast frequency of a musical composition in radio broadcasting based on on-air information and now-on-air information being broadcast contents information, the broadcast frequency of each musical composition can be displayed on a display 26 without receiving and outputting radio broadcasting. Thereby, the user can recognize that which musical composition is frequently broadcasted. Thus, even if the user does not listen to the musical composition broadcasted in the radio broadcasting, the broadcast frequency of the musical composition can be shown to the above user.

Abstract translation: 通过基于空中信息检测无线电广播中的音乐作品的广播频率和广播内容信息的现在的空中信息，可以在显示器26上显示每个音乐作品的广播频率，而无需接收和输出无线电广播 。 由此，用户可以识别哪个音乐作品被频繁地广播。 因此，即使用户不收听在无线电广播中广播的音乐作品，可以向上述用户显示乐曲的广播频率。

Abstract: Wireless terminals such as mobile phones which provide cellular communications for example for telephony and short message service (SMS) are well known and more recently such terminals are also able to provide FM radio reception. RDS information received at such a terminal is used to access a service provider via any suitable medium e.g. email, fax, telephone, SMS message, etc. This enables the end user to access the service provider quickly and effectively for example, to purchase a copy of a record heard on the radio or to request information about a product advertised on the radio. Also, the service provider is able to deal with the user interaction effectively because the RDS information can be used to assess the user's requirements for the transaction in advance. In a preferred example, the service provider comprises a contact center such as a call center and the RDS information is used to allocate an appropriate call center agent.

Abstract: A method and system for providing an ability to have two-way broadcasting in a VoIP system is provided. A call center may originate or relay a broadcast message to several clients. When a third party requests to broadcast a message, or specified triggering events are detected, content of the message may be collected and composed, and a group of recipient clients identified based on the content of the message. An individual broadcast message may be formatted, scheduled and transmitted based on the profile information of the recipient client(s). Moreover, a set of rules to specify the process of broadcasting may be provided from the third party and the service provider. For example, based on a set of rules, a next group of recipient clients may be determined after the initial broadcast and different broadcast messages may be formatted for each recipient client and transmitted.

Abstract translation: 提供了一种用于提供在VoIP系统中具有双向广播的能力的方法和系统。 呼叫中心可以向多个客户端发起或转发广播消息。 当第三方请求广播消息或检测到指定的触发事件时，可以收集和组合消息的内容，以及基于消息的内容标识的一组接收者客户端。 单个广播消息可以基于接收者客户端的简档信息进行格式化，调度和发送。 此外，可以从第三方和服务提供商提供用于指定广播过程的一组规则。 例如，基于一组规则，可以在初始广播之后确定下一组接收者客户端，并且可以为每个接收方客户端格式化不同的广播消息并进行发送。

Abstract: A method of and a system for providing an identification of a piece of information to a person tuned to a broadcasting station which is broadcasting the piece of information. The person sends a first message to a centralized information identification location having a data base storing data for identifying pieces of information. The first message describes the piece of information and preferably also identifies a receiving location to which identification of the piece of information is to be sent. In response to the first message, the data base is interrogated to identify the piece of information, and a second message is sent to the identified receiving location, including identification of the piece of information. If desired, the first message can include an order for a copy of the musical piece and payment information, and the centralized music identification location can forward an order for the copy to an order shipping center.

Abstract: An integrated receiver decoder (IRD) includes a receiver and an MPEG audio decoder for receiving and decoding a compressed digital broadcast signal. A first output terminal connects to a bi-directional data communication line according to a first digital interface standard to provide the received digital signal to an external device. A second output terminal connects to a one-way data communication line according to a different digital interface standard to provide audio data decoded from the received digital signal to the external device. A controller controls the IRD to output the digital signal or the decoded digital audio data according to the connection state of the external device.

Abstract: A system and method is provided to dynamically insert content into programming breaks of at least a first programming channel. In order to dynamically insert such content, status information regarding a current status of a programming channel is procured. Based on the status information, a plurality of available insertion options (e.g., assets) may be identified. Using the identified asset options, an asset insertion schedule is developed for least one subsequent programming break of the programming channel. Upon identifying the beginning of the at least one subsequent programming break, the selected assets may be inserted into a content stream (e.g., associated with the programming channel) according to the insertion schedule. Generally, to provide such dynamic insertion, the status of the programming channel may be monitored periodically and/or continuously such that assets that are suited for current network conditions may be selected and inserted into one or more programming breaks.

Abstract: A consumer electronics device comprises a receiver to receive a broadcast signal transmitted by a commercial broadcast radio station, a controller, and a communications interface. The broadcast radio signal comprises multimedia content that may be rendered to the user and information identifying the multimedia content. The controller generates a request to download the multimedia content using the information identifying the multimedia content. The communications interface transmits the request to a server in a communications network, which downloads the requested multimedia content to a user-designated destination device if the content is available.

Abstract: A method and system for providing easier listener access to information about musical works and other audio programming broadcast by a digital radio station includes broadcasting contextual information about the audio programming along with the audio programming. A receiver separates the audio and data signals giving the listener access to the broadcast content and the associated information about that content. The system may also store the contextual information about the programming for later reference, for example ordering a recording of the programming.

Abstract: An ITV system that monitors and stores data related to digital video broadcasts. Such data may include digital sound files, image files, subscription data, software programs, television program information, ITV advertising content, and the like. The monitoring system stores information about a pre-determined set of data that is being monitored in a digital video stream, in one or more log files. The log files may then be used to generate a plurality of user defined reports. The reports may be used by broadcasters, cable operators, and content providers, and the like to establish general auditing and billing services.
