摘要： The conversion circuit adapts a legacy radio to play digital broadcasts using a sensing circuit coupled to a control device of the legacy radio to produce a control device position signal. A processor detects changes in this position signal and interprets a pattern of predetermined changes in position signals to generate at least digital radio broadcast scan command. The conversion circuit also includes a digital radio receiver that performs a scan operation in response to the scan command and supplies the processor with a channel list of detected digital stations. The processor associates each of the detected digital stations to a different positional setting of the control device. The processor also interprets different positional settings of the control device as a content selection commands, which it uses to cause the receiver to select a particular content component for playback through an audio amplifier.

摘要： The invention relates to a method for receiving radio broadcast signals by means of a radio broadcast receiver and to a radio broadcast receiver designed for performing the method, wherein the broadcast receiver has at least two receiving units for different transmission techniques. The user selects a radio broadcast service of a first receiving unit of the at least two receiving units, and the selected radio broadcast service is then played back by the radio broadcast receiver. The other, second receiving unit for the different transmission technique of the radio broadcast receiver searches for an alternative radio broadcast service having preferably the same or comparable content during the playback of the radio broadcast service selected by the user, and the radio broadcast receiver automatically switches over to the second receiving unit having the alternative radio broadcast service if the first receiving unit cannot play back the selected radio broadcast service.

摘要： This invention describes a cloud-based architecture that orchestrates the detection and dissemination of highly-dynamic, real-time, and fine-grained TV white space information to improve spectrum information used for White Space Devices (WSDs). Wasted spectrum opportunities were first identified, both temporal and spatial, due to the current approach of white spaces detection. This invention introduces a next generation of geo-location databases capable of tracking the state of the relatively static TV transmitters and the highly dynamic TV receivers. A quantitative evaluation of the potential gain in white space availability for large scale deployments of this novel architecture demonstrated significant improvement in the availability of white spaces.

摘要： A system, apparatus, method and computer program product to obtain comprehensive vehicle radio listener statistics based on parameters such as radio status (e.g., on/off status and CD/Tape/AM/FM setting), radio volume, station preset information, current frequency setting (i.e., station identification), and Global Positioning Satellite (GPS) system coordinates is disclosed. A vehicle-mounted field unit for collecting and transmitting such parameters to a base station is also disclosed. The system monitors and stores all events related to the occupants' interaction with the vehicle's radio, including automatic detection of the selected radio station through a speaker port. The stored data is then transmitted to a base station's central collection computer for immediate compilation and analysis. The system is capable of producing detailed reports containing error-free, unbiased, audience measurement statistics which can be made available to subscribers such as broadcasters, corporate advertisers, advertising agencies and the like.

摘要： A broadcast receiving apparatus is disclosed which allows a broadcasting system not addressing data broadcasts to offer an information-providing service equivalent to what is typically offered in conjunction with data broadcasting. When a user watching a TV program on a channel performs operations to store a scene of the program, the apparatus generates and holds scene information made up at least of information about the channel and of current time information, before transmitting the scene information to a server apparatus. On receiving the scene information, the server apparatus searches for program-related information such as URLs corresponding to the received information and transmits the acquired information using e-mail to a predetermined device (PC, mobile phone) owned by the user.

摘要： A system and method allow for the periodic re-configuring of broadcast receivers to control their storage of responses to interactive applications during a polling period. A broadcast server maintains a database of interactive applications each preferably associated with a program that will be broadcast. When the program is broadcast, an interactive application is inserted into the broadcast feed and delivered to a broadcast receiver such as a television set-top box. The broadcast receiver includes a processor, memory, and other hardware necessary to execute the interactive application. When executed, the interactive application generates a response which is transmitted to a local data center at, for example, the cable head-end. Generated responses have specific types. To manage the number and capacity of the system to receive responses, priority values are assigned to responses of different types. The priority values are based on the value of the responses to the provider of the interactive application, and established with respect to total response capacity, and an estimated response volume during a polling period. These priority values are assigned or updated preferably once each polling period, and transmitted to and stored in the broadcast receivers. Each broadcast receiver uses the priority value assignments to determine if it will execute and store responses for a currently received interactive application, or reserve memory capacity for higher priority responses.

摘要翻译： 系统和方法允许广播接收机的周期性重新配置以在轮询期间控制其对交互式应用的响应的存储。 广播服务器维护交互式应用的数据库，每个优选地与将被广播的节目相关联。 当节目被广播时，将交互式应用程序插入到广播馈送中，并将其传送到诸如电视机顶盒的广播接收机。 广播接收机包括执行交互应用所需的处理器，存储器和其它硬件。 当执行时，交互式应用产生在例如电缆头端传送到本地数据中心的响应。 生成的响应具有特定类型。 为了管理系统接收响应的数量和容量，优先级值被分配给不同类型的响应。 优先级值基于对交互式应用程序的提供者的响应的值，并且相对于总响应能力确定，以及在轮询期间的估计响应量。 这些优先级值优选地在每个轮询周期分配或更新一次，并被发送到并存储在广播接收机中。 每个广播接收机使用优先级值分配来确定它是否将执行并存储当前接收到的交互应用的响应，或者为较高优先级响应预留存储容量。

摘要： A radio data system transmits message groups comprising four blocks of which the first block always carries the program identification code for the transmitting network (P1(TN)). One type of message group, identified by a corresponding group type code (GT) in a second block always carries a program identification code for another network (PI(ON) in a fourth block and carries various corresponding items of information in a third block. Which of these various items is in the third block is identified by a user code (UC) in the second block. The items of information in the third block may in particular include alternative frequency codes for the other network identified in the fourth block.

摘要： The present disclosure relates to a transmission device, a transmission method, and a reception device capable of recognizing simultaneous broadcasting more reliably. Provided is a transmission device including: a generation unit that generates a broadcast stream including a broadcast component constituting content and signaling information regarding the broadcast component; and a transmission unit that transmits the broadcast stream, in which the signaling information includes a descriptor in which a service identifier or location information for identifying simultaneous broadcasting content corresponding to the content is arranged. The present disclosure can be applied to, for example, a transmission system corresponding to a broadcasting system of terrestrial digital television broadcasting.
