Abstract:
A translator includes: an input configured to receive a bit stream having a plurality of digitally encoded contents and control information; processing circuitry configured to select one of the digitally encoded contents, to use the selected digitally encoded content to produce an analog modulated signal, to use the digitally encoded contents to produce a digitally modulated signal, and to combine the analog modulated signal and the digitally modulated signal to produce a hybrid signal; and an output configured to output the hybrid signal. A method performed by the radio signal translator is also provided.
Abstract:
Embodiments of a method for rendering an alert message at a user device and of an emergency alert location filtering system are disclosed. In an embodiment the method comprises determining a current geographical location of the user device, receiving alert messages, each alert message comprising message information and a geographical code, and configuring an alert filter at the user device to allow alert messages to pass the alert filter for rendering at the user device that comprise a geographical code which corresponds to a geographical area in which the current geographical location of the user device is located.
Abstract:
Systems and methods are disclosed for communicating an emergency alert message from a digital radio broadcast transmission system of a mobile vehicle to a digital radio broadcast receiver system. A digital radio broadcast signal including first and second data is broadcasted using the digital radio broadcast transmission system to end-user digital radio broadcast receivers. The first data includes an emergency code, and the second data includes an emergency alert message. The digital radio broadcast signal is transmitted at a predetermined frequency that is recognized by the receivers as an emergency notification frequency. The digital radio broadcast signal can be decoded only be receivers located within a localized area in a proximity of the transmission system. The receivers are configured to automatically tune to the emergency notification frequency to receive the digital radio broadcast signal and render the second data based on a detection of the emergency code within the signal.
