    摘要: A transmitting accessory couples with a portable electronic device such that audio signals or data from the device can be digitally transmitted to a remote receiver. The accessory includes an input port for receiving audio data from the portable electronic device. A digital transmitter transmits digital data corresponding to the audio signals or data from the portable electronic device to the remote digital receiver. If the audio signal is an analog signal, the accessory uses encoding circuitry to digitally encode the analog audio signal for transmission. The audio signal may be encoded into an HD radio format for reception by an HD radio receiver. The user inputs of the portable electronic device can preferably be used to control functions of the accessory and the device's display to display the selected transmission frequency or channel.

    摘要: A media content monitoring system uses a rack adapted to receive multiple carrier boards to improve the system's ability to be configured to specific applications. Each carrier board contains tuner modules for receiving AM/FM broadcasts, satellite radio broadcasts, TV audio broadcasts, HD, IBOC, DAB and DRM digital radio broadcasts, etc. The tuner modules produce a USB output that is combined by a USB hub on the carrier boards into a single USB output. The carrier board outputs are in turn combined by a rack based USB hub into single USB output that is provided to a host computer. The host computer includes content identification software that automatically identifies selected media content received by the tuner modules and stores the selected content in a database. The host computer can send control codes to the tuner modules to alter their reception parameters.

    摘要: A system and method of identifying an audio track uses music identification software that produces a fingerprint or audio profile for an audio segment recorded with a portable communication device. The audio profile is transmitted from the portable communication device to a remote service provider over a communication network. The remote server receives the transmitted audio track profile and compares the profile to a stored database of audio tracks. If a matching audio track is identified by the remote server, metadata relating to the identified audio track is transmitted from the remote server to the portable communication device. The received audio track metadata is then displayed on the portable communication device.

    摘要: A system for communicating digital data between a first and second device through audio input/output ports encodes the digital data into a series of audio frequency tones. The audio frequency tones are transferred between the devices as audio inputs. Audio decoding software residing on the devices monitors the audio inputs of the devices for audio signals representing digital data and decodes the audio signals into digital data when they are detected. The audio decoding and encoding software is preferably aftermarket software that is downloaded to the device through a digital data port and executed by the device's operating system software. The system can be used to provide a low cost accessory that can communicate digital data to a device without using the device's digital input/output port or requiring any expensive digital communication circuitry in the accessory.

    摘要: An improved accessory for an electronic device that allows the device to interface with a standard radio receiver or another electronic device using an incompatible digital transmission format. The accessory includes a digital transceiver for establishing digital communications with a first remote device having a digital transceiver. The accessory receives audio data from the device over the digital wireless channel and produces an FM broadcast output signal based upon the received digital audio data. Thus, music from a personal computer or digital music player can be listened to over a standard radio receiver. The accessory can also be configured to produce a Wi-Fi or Bluetooth formatted output such that the audio data can be transmitted to a previously incompatible radio or headphone receiver. The user inputs of the portable electronic device can preferably be used to control functions of the accessory and the device's display to display the selected transmission frequency or channel of the accessory.
