Description

2 · »·

The invention relates to a method for awarding a bonus, such as bonus points, loyalty points or credits. Furthermore, the invention also relates to a system and a device for awarding a bonus. 5 From the prior art, the award of a bonus to reward the loyal listeners of a television or radio station is known so that during the broadcast of the program, the user can call a corresponding hotline. The disadvantage hereby is that in such a procedure only Gewinnspieie can be implemented with an active telephone conversation. 10

The object of the invention is to provide a method, a system and / or a device in which the loyalty of a user when listening to or receiving a program, station, etc. is rewarded. Another object of the invention is that the user is also rewarded for other activities by the broadcaster.

Moreover, the object of the invention is to avoid the known disadvantages. 20

The objects of the invention are solved for a method for awarding a bonus in that a receiving module, in particular an app for mobile phones and / or PC, from the receiving module an internal or external radio signal, such as an audio and / or video Signal, is detected, the radio signal 25 is temporarily stored in a memory over a defined period of time, that the buffered radio signal is compared by an evaluation with an assigned to award the bonus evaluation signal, the evaluation signal via a connection , in particular an Internet connection of a communication network, is received, and upon coincidence of the received radio signal with the evaluation signal to be evaluated via a bonus module, a defined bonus is assigned and that control module user-specific parameters and / or settings for controlling the flow of a user are adjustable.

The advantage here is that the radio station can reward its users for their loyalty and at the same time it is ensured that only those users receive a bonus that really pursue the station, the program, etc. The continuous or sequential check whether the user is still following the sender, prevents the abuse of the bonus allocation system, ie, that the user does not have the opportunity to only briefly track the station and then switch to another station, where he believes is that by the short-term tracking of the program, the bonus continues to run. This is prevented because a comparison of two different signals is performed, so that when a change of the transmitter, a signal from the other deviation and the bonus allocation is automatically canceled.

But there are also the measures of advantage in which the reception of the radiated radio signal and the reception of the evaluation signal from a terminal, in particular from a mobile phone, smartphone, computer, tablet PC, notebook, lnternet cloud, etc. , as this allows the user directly, so active, participate in the event. Another advantage is that a wide variety of reception possibilities are possible through the use of such terminals.

Of advantage are the measures in which the simultaneous reception and transmission of the radio signal from a terminal, in particular a multitask mobile or smartphone, done, as this creates the possibility that the user at any time to any location in the bonus award can. Thus, he is no longer fixed at a defined location.

In the measure that the radio signal is transmitted via a receiver or terminal with a loudspeaker, wherein the evaluation signal is provided for processing, is achieved in an advantageous manner that the user can always hear the program or follow. If, for example, competitions are held during the program, the user can follow this and actively intervene. 4 · 4 · 4 · 4 · 4 4 4 4 444 4 4 4 4 4 44 · · · · · · · · · · · · · · · · · · · · · · · 4 44 4 «Μ 4 ·«

But also advantageous are the measures in which it is determined via the control module, whether the radio signal or the evaluation signal is emitted via the speaker, since thereby the user has the opportunity to emit the signal with the best quality. 5

But it is also a procedure of advantage, in which the reception of the radio signal via a coupled to the recording module / connected terminal (microphone) or via a web page received from the Internet, as this allows the use of a variety of devices is made possible. So io the user is no longer limited to a limited device selection.

In a procedure in which is determined in the control module, whether a recorded via the terminal radio signal in addition via an external component of the device, such as the speaker or the headphone jack 15 or external output, etc., is emitted, is in an advantageous manner ensures that the user can make presets and thus appropriate adjustments are possible.

The internally received radio signal via an external output, in particular 20 a speaker, a headphone jack, etc., can be emitted, has the advantage that the user hears acoustically, which station is currently running actively on his device.

Also advantageous is a procedure in which when mute the output of the radio signal or at the end of the reception of the radio signal via the terminal, the evaluation of the bonus module, in particular the bonus award, interrupted or aborted, since thereby the Radio broadcasters or the operator for the award of the bonus ensures that only those listeners or users who actively monitor the program or the program are rewarded. 30 This can lead to no abuse in which only briefly the transmitter or the program is heard, and then this is terminated or switched over. 5 * · * · ··· * f * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * '*' * * * * * * * * «···« * · ···· · · · · · * ♦ · * · < · «« «

One advantage lies in the measures in which the control module in the

Communication network is preset, so that with appropriate

Preset in the control module when calling or activating the device is automatically connected to it, since the user does not have to constantly search for 5 such bonus assignments, but can deposit them directly.

The measures that can be stored in the control module a list of multiple communication networks, is achieved in an advantageous manner, io that the user can store a variety of different stations, programs or web pages. Thus, switching from one page, sender or program to another is made much easier since the user merely has to open the list and is automatically connected to the device by activating a new link, sender, program or web page. 15

In a procedure in which different channels for external evaluation signals can be defined in the control module, which are automatically interrogated as soon as a radio signal is received, it is achieved that the user-friendliness is substantially increased. 20

It is also advantageous that the receipt and the allocation of the bonus on the bonus module on a display, in particular on a touch screen, in a bonus display area or activity area, at least partially, are displayed, since thereby the user optically track the award of the bonus 25 or he can see that he hears a program in which a bonus award is performed, that is, for example, when a possible station change the user normally looks at the display and there selects the new station and thus recognize by the display of bonus allocation, that such a method or system is running, whereby he may decide to continue to track that transmitter until the bonus allocation system is terminated. He continues to collect bonus. Namely, if such an ad did not occur, the user would without knowing that a bonus is running, simply change the station and thus cancel the bonus. 6 • «* ·

But it is also a procedure of advantage, in which when activating the bonus display area or activity area, especially when touching a new interface with more information to award the bonus is opened and the broadcasting of the radio signal continues to be performed in the background 5, since this provides more information, data, etc. to the user while keeping track of the sender, program, etc., not interrupted.

By the measures in which when activated bonus assignment on the display 10 several different areas, in particular a banner, a user, and / or an activity area, are displayed, is achieved in an advantageous manner that the most diverse information, data , etc., always appear in an exact area. In this case, the banner area is always available for advertising of the company supporting the program, whereas in the user area the user can determine for himself what should be displayed there. In the Activities section, the tax, display and / or query options that are possible for the app or software are usually displayed.

The measures in which the evaluation signal is provided with one or more activation signals are also advantageous, so that when a reception signal of such an activation signal is present or received, the user is shown on the display that a transmission for the allocation of Bonuses run or is receivable, as this makes it easier to find bonus-award items. 25

However, it is also advantageous that the communication networks, transmitters or channels defined in the control module are scanned at predefined intervals for the emission of activation signals, since this automatically recognizes whether a bonus allocation program is running on the defined 30 pages and / or senders. Thus, several parallel-running bonus award items can be detected, so that the user can choose which bonus delivery program he wants to follow. The user can thus make the best possible choice for him. 7 ♦ · * • ·

An approach in which the information to broadcast a program, program or lottery via SMS and / or mail is advantageous because it can be made in a simple way the user to such a program 5.

But there are also the measures of advantage in which the activation signal additional information, such as Kana! or communication network, bonus allocation, are evaluated, which are displayed on the screen, as this can be made easily 10 adaptations of changes.

By the measures in which the evaluation signal contains the information and / or parameters for the award of the bonus, this information and / or parameters are evaluated and used by the bonus module is achieved in an advantageous manner that for the most diverse shipments always the latest data and chances of winning can be transferred. Thus, a simple adjustment of the bonus system for the award of a bonus is possible because they can be changed from shipment to shipment. Thus, it is not necessary for the most diverse shipments, the 20 most different bonus allocation systems, especially the rewards and / or profits, must be stored.

In a method wherein said bonus awarding method comprises: receiving - via a first interface of a server - radio signal from a user via a communication network;

Receiving - via a second interface of the server - of evaluation signals from a plurality of transmission channels via the communication network; so comparison - with a processor - the radio received by the user

Signal with the evaluation signals received from the plurality of transmission channels; 8 ♦ * ··· · · ♦ Μ · ··· · »*

Determination - with the processor - based on the comparison process that the radio signal from the user with a currently transmitted on one of the multiple transmission channels program and / or evaluation signals match; and in response to the discovery process, automatic awarding - with the processor - of at least one bonus to the user, it is advantageously achieved that the user can receive special rewards for the tracking of particular broadcasts via an internet enabled terminal.

In a procedure in which the follow-up of a program progression of the user is included on the basis of the determination process, it is advantageously achieved that user-specific data can be collected, whereby adaptation to the user by the app or software can be carried out automatically.

Also, a procedure is advantageous in which the processor - based on the tracking process - the creation of a user corresponding program profile profile is included, as this can be entered exactly on the behavior of the user and the bonus award is adjusted accordingly.

However, an approach is also advantageous, in which the award procedure is further comprised of awarding - with the processor - bonuses to the user on the basis of the program profile of the user, so that a permanent adaptation can take place.

An advantage is a procedure in which the award - with the processor - of bonus points to the user in response to the interaction of the user with the currently transmitted program is included, since thereby the user can influence the bonus award by appropriate activities. Thus, it is possible that the user gets additional or faster bonuses. 9 ♦ · ♦ ♦ # ♦ * • ♦ * * * * ♦ «<+ * ·

The procedure in which the awarding of bonus points to the user in response to the user's participation in a chat in relation to the currently transmitted program and / or radio signal is carried out has the advantage that not only the acoustic tracking of a program is rewarded, but other activities related to the program can be rewarded.

In this case, an approach is advantageous in which the awarding of bonus points to the user in response to the submission of a statement in a social media network by the user in relation to the currently transmitted program and / or radio signal is performed, as a result wide range of awarding opportunities is created, so that very active users are much better rewarded, rather than reticent users.

The advantage, however, is that the awarding of bonus points to the user in response to the user's participation in a survey is carried out in relation to the currently transmitted program and / or radio signal, as this can be a direct reward.

Further, the objects of the invention are achieved by a bonus granting system in which the said system comprises: a server having: a first interface coupled to a communication network and adapted to receive radio signals from a user via the communication network to recieve; a second interface coupled to the communication network and configured to receive evaluation signals from the plurality of transmission channels via the communication network; and a processor coupled to the first interface and the second interface, and the processor is configured to associate the radio signals from the user with an evaluation signal currently transmitted on one of the multiple 10 ·· · transmission channels and in response at least gives a bonus automatically to the user. The advantage here is that an optimal reward for loyalty customers can be performed by the radio station or transmitter and at the same time the abuse is prevented by comparing two separate signals. Namely, if a user receives a different radio signal than the evaluation signal required for the bonus allocation, a bonus allocation is automatically prevented. Thus, only those users really enjoy a bonus that really follows the program, the program or the activities, io

In the case of measures in which the at least one bonus is at least a premium point that can be redeemed by the user for at least one price, it is advantageously achieved that the user can select the best price for him from a variety of prices. It is also possible for the user to save his points together in order to obtain a better quality price with more points.

The training in which the processor is further adapted to automatically track a time period during which the first interface receives the radio signal associated with the currently transmitted program from the user and automatically awards the user a corresponding bonus in response to the time period; is advantageous in that it rewards the user for how long he tracks the shipment. An advantage is an embodiment in which the processor is further designed to award the user at least a bonus in response to the interaction of the user with the currently transmitted program and / or evaluation signal, since this increases the possibilities for awarding a bonus becomes. At the same time the activity of the user is rewarded.

But it is also an embodiment of advantage, in which further provided to the processor data storage or memory is provided, wherein the data memory is adapted to a database including a with the 30 11 ·· · ··· · · · · » · * · &Lt; · «·· · · · * ··· ··» · »! !!

To maintain users of associated profile, wherein the profile includes a program associated with the user program, as it can be taken into account the behavior of the user and the award of the bonus can be adjusted according to user. This can, for example, be carried out automatically via the app or software, so that a wide range of users can receive a wide variety of bonuses for a consignment.

Of advantage is the embodiment in which the profile also includes bonus information in relation to the user, as this additional criteria for the award of the bonus io are possible.

The object of the invention is also achieved by a device in which the server has a first and a second interface, which are each coupled to a communication network, wherein the first interface 15 receives the communication network radio signals from a user and the second Interface via the communication network from a plurality of transmission channels receives evaluation signals, wherein between the first and the second interface, at least one processor is provided which either 20 - the radio signals from the user with a currently transmitted on one of the multiple transmission channels program and / or evaluates associated signals and in response to at least a bonus automatically awarded to the user or - matches the received by the user radio signals with the received from at least one of the plurality of transmission channels evaluation signals that detects at least one of the plurality of transmission channels and a The user communicates with a program and / or evaluation signals currently transmitted on one of the multiple transmission channels and associates the user with a grouping frame stored in the processor grouped into a chat group, with the grouping frame containing the currently broadcast program. 12 ··> 1M · * Μ,

It is advantageous in this case that any commercially available terminal can be used with which the Internet can be accessed. This is necessary insofar as the evaluation signal is preferably transmitted only over the Internet, but this is necessary for the comparison with the radio signal in order to curb the abuse of the bonus allocation.

It should be noted that certain benefits to training can be transferred to other corresponding or equivalent training.

For a better understanding of the invention, this will be explained in more detail with reference to the following figures, which are shown in a simplified, disproportionate, schematic representation.

Show it:

By way of introduction, it should be noted that in the described embodiments, the same parts are provided with the same reference numerals or the same component designations, the disclosures contained throughout the description can be mutatis mutandis to the same parts with the same reference numerals or component names. Also, the location information chosen in the description, such as top, bottom, side, etc. related to the immediately described and illustrated figure and are to be transferred to the new situation mutatis mutandis when a change in position. Furthermore, individual features or combinations of features from the illustrated and described 13 different embodiments for self-contained, inventive or inventive solutions darsteilen. All statements on ranges of values in the description of the present invention should be understood to include any and all sub-ranges thereof, e.g. is the statement 1 5 to 10 to be understood that all sub-areas, starting from the lower limit 1 and the upper limit 10 are included.

In Figs. 1 to 3, an arrangement for carrying out a method for awarding a bonus, such as bonus points, loyalty points or io credits or prizes, etc., is shown. Here, a receiving device or terminal 1, in particular a commercial mobile phone, a user for receiving signals is shown. In this case, the terminal 1 comprises a receiving module 2, a receiving module 3, an evaluation module 4, a bonus module 5, these modules being implemented in whole or in part by software, ie, the modules are integrated in the terminal 1 by hardware and / or software are.

Furthermore, in particular in FIG. 1, a radio station 6 for emitting a radio signal 7 and an Internet 8 for a communication network 9 for transmitting evaluation signals 10 are shown schematically. The radio signal 7 can be received by an audio device 11, in particular a radio, stereo, etc., or directly from the terminal 1. The broadcasting of the radio signal 7 is also possible via the Internet 8, for which purpose the program on the Internet 8, in particular in a corresponding communications network 9, as indicated by a dashed line, is recorded by the radio station 6 on the one Users 12, 13, 14 with appropriate software, in particular an Internet browser or an APP for the broadcast program or the transmitter, can access or receive, as indicated by dashed lines. Of course, it is possible that of a 30 radio station 6 several programs, programs are broadcast or placed on the Internet 8. 14

As can further be seen in FIG. 1, it is also possible for a user 12, 13 to operate several terminals 1 at the same time. It is also possible for several users 12, 13, 14, as indicated schematically by three users 12, 13, 14, to receive the radiated radio signal 7 and / or the evaluation signal 10 at the same time, for which purpose the users 12, 13, 14 corresponding terminals 1 are used. As a terminal 1, the user 12, 13, 14, a mobile phone 15, 16 smartphone, computer 17, tablet PC 18, notebook 19, or an Intemet cloud 20, use, at least one or more of these terminals 1 for receiving the evaluation Signal 10 and for receiving the radio signal 7 from the Internet 8 or for receiving one of an audio device 11, in particular a radio, reproduced radio signal 7 is formed. With appropriate training of the terminal 1 and a direct reception of the radio signal 7 via an antenna from the transmitting station or the radio station is possible. In the illustrated embodiment, the first user 12 has all of the previously described terminals 1 for receiving the signals. The second user 13 has, for example, the audio device 11 and a tablet PC 18, whereas the third user shown with a smartphone 16 finds the Auslangen. It can thus be seen that the use of such a method or system for awarding a bonus is possible with a wide variety of devices.

In the illustrated application is to be achieved that the various users 12,13,14, often a particular station, so a particular radio signal 7, track for their loyalty by awarding a bonus, such as bonus points, loyalty points or credits, etc., will be rewarded. At the same time, the system should also be able to be used for award games or other advertising or reward activities by awarding points or similar systems. Usually, the radio station 6 broadcasts the radio signal 7 via corresponding distributed transmitting stations, which is received by various users 12, 13, 14, as shown schematically. For the reception of the users 12, 13,14 an audio device 11, in particular a 15 ♦ · · · · *. .

Radio, a stereo, a car radio, etc., are used, from which the radio signal 7 is received and converted accordingly, so that the content of the radio signal 7 in the form of music, speech, etc. via speakers 21 and boxes. is reproduced. The user 12, 13, 14 can thus acoustically perceive or hear the radio signal 7 emitted by the radio station 6, it also being possible to transmit with pictures or videos. At the same time, the evaluation signal 10 is radiated, transmitted or provided by the radio station 6 via the Internet 8, which users 12, 13, 14 in turn can receive via a corresponding terminal 1 via the Internet 8. Due to the ever-improving hardware of the terminals 1 and the faster transmission speeds in the Internet 8, the radio station 6 is also often the radio signal 7 also broadcast via the Internet 8 or spread. That is, the radio signal 7 is simultaneously transmitted through the transmitting stations and the Internet 8, whereas the evaluation signal 10 is only broadcast via the Internet 8.

With appropriate equipment of the radio transmitter 7, it is also possible that the evaluation signal 10 aufzumodulieren the radio signal 7, so that subsequently from the receiving devices or terminals 1, in particular the audio devices 11, the evaluation signal 10 can be demodulated , So is evaluated, which would be possible with appropriate equipment of the audio device 11 via this procedure without terminals 1 with Internet connection bonus award. In principle, it is also possible for a corresponding decoding device to be connected to the audio devices 11 or to be installed so that commercially available audio devices 11 can be retrofitted to receive the bonus system. In principle, it is also possible that the user uses a corresponding hardware module for awarding a bonus or integrated into a terminal.

So that a user 12,13,14 can now come into the genus of a bonus award by the bonus system, it is necessary that this one corresponding app or software (not shown) installed on a terminal 1 with Internet access or operates in which via a receiving module 2, 16 in particular the app for a mobile phone 15, smartphone 16, Table PC 18 and / or PC 17, from the receiving module 3, an internal or external radio signal 7, such as an audio and / or Video signal, is captured. In other words, in the case of an acoustic emission of the radio signal 7 via an audio device 11, this is picked up by the terminal 1 via the receiving module 3, wherein the receiving module 3 is formed, for example, by a microphone as shown in FIG. 3. The radio signal 7 is buffered in a memory 23 over a defined period of time. The buffered radio signal 7 is compared by the evaluation module 4 with the evaluation signal 10 defined for the allocation of the bonus, the evaluation signal 10 being received via a connection, in particular an internet connection of a communication network 9. This means that the radio signal 7 is picked up by the terminal 1 and stored over a defined period of time, so that a defined sequence from the radio signal 7 is available for comparison with the evaluation signal 10 received via the Internet 8. Depending on the terminal 1 used, it is possible for sequences of different lengths of the radio signal 7 to be recorded, since different storage volumes are available for the most diverse terminals 1. The recording and storage of the radio signal 7 is like a shift register, so always the oldest recordings are deleted. Thus, the evaluation module 4 can search within the stored radio signal 7 for matches. Preferably, the evaluation signal 10 is stored for a short time to perform a simpler adjustment can. When storing the evaluation signal 10, only a small part is recorded, which can be used for comparison in the larger memory 23 for the radio signal 7. The buffering of the radio signal 7 is necessary insofar as upon receipt of the radio signal 7 by the various users 12, 13,14 runtime differences arise and thus not all users at the same time receive the same progress of the radio signal 7, ie that For example, due to the distance of the user 12, 13, 14 to the next transmitting station 6, these transit time differences arise because, for example, a user 12 is closer to the transmitting station 6 than the second user 13. ···························································································································································································································· These transit time differences can be compensated by storing the radio signal 7 over a defined period of time.

Subsequently, when the received radio signal 7 coincides with the evaluation signal 10 to be evaluated, a defined bonus is assigned to a bonus module 5. In other words, according to the currently running bonus system, the user 12, 13, 14, who listens to this station or program, is appropriately rewarded. Thus, it is possible for the station or radio station 6 that this can spoil its listeners by broadcasting bonus shipments with deposited prices or exchange items. In addition, it is possible that user-specific parameters and / or settings for controlling the sequence of a user 12,13,14 are adjustable via a control module 24, as shown in Figure 2. For example, the user may select and set different rendering designs on the terminal 1. Such settings will be described later in more detail. For the evaluation, in particular the comparison of the radio signal 7 with the evaluation signal 10, it is not necessary that this is carried out continuously or at recurring time intervals. It is essential that at least sequential checks are carried out in order to be able to determine whether the user 12, 13, 14 still hears the broadcast program or radio signal 7 or not. By a sequential evaluation of the evaluation effort can be significantly reduced. Also, the required hardware or software Aulwand is much lower for such an evaluation, since not constantly the shipment must be monitored. Thus, even older devices 1 with slower hardware can benefit from such a bonus system. In the sequential evaluation, a certain length of the radio signal 7 is recorded or stored, then compared by the evaluation module 4 with the received evaluation signal 10 and given a positive match on the bonus module 5 of the bonus and only after a defined period of time a new record of the radio signal 7 is performed with an evaluation. Thus, in the meantime, the hardware-technical power of the terminal 1 can be used for other tasks. The setting, the user 12,13, 14 doing this via the control module 24 so that it can make such a setting that an uninterrupted flow is ensured. For this purpose, for example, be determined automatically by a test cycle of the app 5 or the software, which time intervals for the terminal 1 are possible or the user 12,13,14 tests some settings and stores the best.

This setting possibility has the advantage that users 12, 13, 14 with an older io terminal 1, in which the hardware is often slow, selects the time duration between the queries greater than users 12, 13, 14 with new fast terminals 1. Essential is only that at regular intervals, which may be, for example, from continuous or between 0.1 sec to 5min, a check is carried out whether the user still hears or watches the broadcast program or 15 radio signal 7. It is also possible that the awarding of the points is coupled with the selected time period for the new evaluation, so that fewer points are awarded for longer periods of time than with shorter or continuous reviews. If the user 12, 13, 14 interrupts the reception of the radio signal 7, for example by switching off the audio device 11, the award of the bonus is also aborted. The same applies if the user interrupts the data transmission for the evaluation signal 10.

In the above-described procedure, it is necessary for the user to use two different devices, with the first device, in particular the audio device, receiving the radiated radio signal 7 and being reproduced by this device and the second device, in particular the Mobile phone 15 or smartphone 16, or computer 17 or tablet PC 18 or notebook 19 or the Internet cloud 20, the reproduced radio signal 7 was added 30 and compared to the evaluation signal 10 from the Internet 8, so that at least a partial area or portion of the radio signal 7 with the evaluation signal 10, the award of the bonus takes place. 19 ·· «· Ml * Μ * • · · * * I I

However, the user can also such a procedure that the reception of the radiated radio signal 7 and receiving the evaluation signal 10 from a terminal 1, in particular from a mobile phone 15, smartphone 16, computer 5 17, tablet PC 18, notebook 19 , Internet Cloud 20, etc., succeeded, ie, that the

Radio signal 7 no longer a recording module 3, in particular a microphone 22, must be recorded, but the radio signal 7 and the evaluation signal 10 is downloaded directly from the Internet 8, as shown for the third user 14. It is also possible that the simultaneous io reception and the broadcast of the radio signal 7 and the evaluation signal 10 from a mobile phone 15, in particular a multitask mobile phone 15 or smartphone 16, takes place, so that the user is as mobile as possible and thus On the way you can enjoy bonus broadcasts. For this purpose, for example, the radio signal 7 via the receiving or terminal 1 with a 15 speaker 25, as shown in Fig. 3, emitted, wherein the evaluation signal 10 is provided for processing, that is internally with the radiated radio signal 7 is compared. That is, the internally received, in particular via the Internet received, radio signal 7 via an external output, in particular a speaker 25, a headphone jack, etc., radiant 20 is.

The essential difference from the procedure described above, which is used for example by the first illustrated user 12 or 13, is therefore that only one terminal 1 is used, with which the radio signal 7 25 and the evaluation signal 10 is received, whereas the user 12 or 13 an audio device 11 and a terminal 1, in particular a mobile phone 15 or smartphone 16 or computer 17 or tablet PC 18 or notebook 19 or Internet cloud.

The procedure for the use of only one terminal 1 30 is described in summary below, for which purpose the components used, in particular the hardware modules and software modules, are used for a terminal 1. The system or method for awarding a bonus includes the following: 20 t * ···· * * · · i # · «« ·· ** · ··· · «·

Receiving - via a first interface (receiving module 3) of a server (Internet 8) - of radio signal 7 from a user 14 via a communication network 9;

Comparison - with a processor (evaluation module 4) - received by the user 14 radio signals 7 with the received from the plurality of transmission channels evaluation signals 10;

Determining - with the processor - based on the comparison process that the radio signal 7 from the user 14 with a currently transmitted on one of the multiple transmission channels program and / or evaluation signals 10 match; and in response to the discovery process, automatically awarding - with the processor (bonus module 5) - at least one bonus to the user 14.

As can now be better seen in FIG. 2, a schematic sequence of the method or system is shown. In this case, a device or terminal 1 is used, which is designed to receive a system for awarding a bonus.

A disadvantage of the embodiments of FIG. 1, that when recording acoustically radiated radio signals, the user or the terminal of the user is recorded with the acoustically radiated radio signal, as close to the broadcast source, in particular the boxes or Loudspeakers, must be located to ensure proper recording. However, it often happens that the radiated radio signal can not be fully and intelligibly recorded, so that the award of the bonus is canceled. I · · · · · · · · · · · · · · · · · · · · · · · · · · · · · · · · · · · · · · · · · ·. * · · ·· * ·

To start the system, the user in the control module 24 can make different settings. He has the possibility that an automatic start of the app or the software or the system when activating the terminal 1, ie when switching on, is performed or the user 12,13, 14 5 manually starts the app or software or the system or that upon receipt of a method or system for awarding a bonus, an automatic start takes place or upon receipt of a method or system of the users 12, 13, 14 is made aware of it and only has to press an activation button. Thus, if the method or system is started, that is, if a start 26 is carried out, all settings in the control module 24 are first checked and these settings are adopted by the app or software, whereby the sequence or design, etc., according to the wishes of the user 12, 13, 14 takes place. Subsequently, the receiving module 2 is activated, so depending on the setting or depending on the possible reception of the signals required components are used or used, ie that is checked by the receiving module 2, as the individual signals, in particular the radio signal 7 and the evaluation signal 10, can be received. For this purpose, for example, first the 20 recording module 3 queried whether a radio signal 7 is received via this. If the receiving module 2 does not detect an acoustic signal at the receiving module 3, then the receiving module 3 activates the Internet 8, that is to say that the Internet 8 is now trying to receive a radio signal 7. Depending on the setting in the control module 24, the last-heard or received transmitter 25, in particular radio transmitter 6, can be interrogated or if certain transmitters or programs are stored in the control module 24, the most important transmitters, programs, websites for the user 12, 13, 14 , etc., to be checked first. If the receiving module 2 finds a radio signal 7 or, better said, the terminal 1 or receiving module 2 receives a radio signal 7, this is forwarded to the evaluation module 4. In the evaluation module 4, the radio signal 7 is buffered in a memory 23, wherein the recording time is in turn selectable by the user 12,13,14 via the control module 24. 22 ·· «· • · * • · · · •» I # »• · · · · · ·

Once a radio signal 7 has been detected and received by the reception module 2, the reception module 2 now searches for an evaluation signal 10. For this purpose, the receiving module 2 in turn accesses the Internet 8 and receives the corresponding evaluation signal 10. In this case, it is possible for corresponding data to be transmitted for the reception of the evaluation signal 10 when the radio signal is added, for example digitally or analogously, so that it can evaluate the reception module 2 and thus find the corresponding evaluation signal 10 more quickly , Again, the user 12, 13, 14 has the option of being able to define in the control module 24 which sender, programs, web site, etc. he wants to receive or access. Thus, it is possible that the receiving module 2, a transmitter is received, which is not defined in the wish list of the user 12, 13, 14. Depending on the setting, the app or the software can now make the user aware via the display or an acoustic signal tone that a method or system for awarding a bonus can be received, which, however, is not included in the list of the user 12, 13, 14, in particular is present in the control module 24, or that automatically the recording is canceled. However, if the receiving module 2 has found an evaluation signal 10 or if access has been permitted, then the evaluation signal 10 is likewise forwarded to the evaluation module 4. In the evaluation module 4, a specific sequence of the evaluation signal 10 can now be stored again, or the evaluation signal 10 is compared directly with the buffered radio signal 7 25. If the buffered radio signal 7 coincides with the evaluation signal 10, then the match is forwarded by the evaluation module 4 to the bonus module 5. In bonus module 5, the bonus is now awarded. It is possible that fixed award criteria are stored for the different stations or programs or the data corresponding to the evaluation signal 10 are transmitted. Depending on how the bonus is awarded, the bonus module first determines the award criteria and then executes the bonus allocation, whereby the bonus received is stored for this purpose. The user 12, 13, 14 can thus 23 4 Μ 44 • * 4 4 4 4 4 4 4 • 9 4 4 * 1 44 • «« · 9 «« 1 4 4 * 444 4444 • 4 4 4 4 9 44 4 look at his received or accumulated bonus during or after the program. Once a bonus has been awarded, the bonus module 5 notifies the evaluation module 4 so that a new check is made according to the stored criteria. It is possible, for example, that a check of the two signals is carried out continuously or every few seconds or minutes in order to determine whether the user 12,13,14 continues to track the program and thus possibly further bonus awards can.

If the user 12,13,14 terminates the app or software or interrupts the recording or playback or turns on the user 12, 13,14 another transmitter that does not include a procurement system, the bonus allocation is automatically interrupted end 27th -, That is, when muting the output of the radio signal 7 / evaluation signal 10 or upon completion of the reception of the radio signal 7 / evaluation signal 10 via the receiving or terminal 1, the evaluation of bonus module 5, in particular the bonus assignment is interrupted or aborted. The bonus allocation is also interrupted if it is determined in the evaluation module 4 that the radio signal 7 does not coincide with the evaluation signal 10. However, if this occurs, a check is made several times before termination, as to whether a match is still present, ie that in turn a new intermediate storage of a sequence of the radio signal 7 is made, which in turn is compared with the evaluation signal 10 to be received becomes. Only after several attempts to determine a match, the bonus allocation is interrupted. This in turn can be displayed to the user on the display of the terminal 1 and / or made aware of it with an acoustic tone. However, the bonus received until cancellation or termination of the bonus allocation remains stored for the user 12, 13, 14.

The sequence as described in FIG. 2 can also be described in turn combined with hardware and software components, ie a system for awarding a bonus comprises: 24 ·· ♦ »24 ·· ♦» ·· Μ · · · · • • · · · · · · · · · · · · · · · · · · · · · · · · · · · · · · A first interface (reception module 3) which is coupled to a communication network 9 (Internet 8, evaluation module 3) and is designed to receive radio signals 7 from a user 12, 13, 14 via the communication network 9; a second interface (receiving module 2) coupled to the communication network 9 (Internet 8) and adapted to receive evaluation signals 10 from a plurality of transmission channels via the communication network 9 (Internet 8); and a processor (evaluation module 4, bonus module 5) coupled to the first interface and the second interface, and the processor is adapted to receive the radio signals 7 from the user 12, 13, 14 with one currently on one of the multiple transmission channels to associate transmitted evaluation signals 10 and in response to at least one bonus automatically assigns to the user 12,13,14.

As already mentioned above, it is possible for the user 12, 13, 14 in the control module 24 to be able to preselect or set and / or select criteria. In the control module 24, the communication network 9 can be preset, so that is automatically connected with appropriate default in the control module 24 when calling or activating the device, ie, the user 12,13, 14 stores its communication networks 9, transmitter, programs and / or Internet addresses to which the individual modes, in particular the receiving module 2 and / or evaluation module 3 access. It is possible that in the control module 24 a list of multiple communication networks 9 are stored. It is also possible that in the control module 24 different channels for external evaluation signals 10 can be defined, which are automatically interrogated as soon as a radio signal 7 is received. It is also possible that it is determined via the control module 24 whether the radio signal 7 or the evaluation signal 10 is transmitted via the loudspeaker 25. The user 12, 13, 14 can also specify whether the reception of the radio signal 7 is effected via a receiving device (microphone 22) coupled / connected to the recording module 3 or via a web page received from the Internet 8. There is also the possibility that in the control module 24 25 + + »Ψ · · · · · · · · · I I I t t t t t t t t t t t t t t t t t t t t t t t t t t t t t t t t t t t t t t t t t Whether a received via the receiving terminal 1 radio signal 7 in addition via an external component of the device, such as the speaker 25 or the headphone jack or external output, etc., is emitted.

Furthermore, it is possible for the communication networks 9, transmitters or channels defined in the control module 24 to be scanned at predefined intervals for the emission of activation signals (not shown) and / or evaluation signals 10 and / or radio signals 7. If the user 12,13, 14 in an area where a receipt of an awarding system is possible, this is detected by the automatic scan and informed the user 12,13,14. It is also possible that the information to broadcast a program, program or sweepstakes via an SMS and / or mail. For this purpose, all information contained therein or it is also possible that a link to the direct reception of the program, program or lottery is transmitted, ie, that the user 12,13,14 only has to activate the link and the awarding system is activated, via the Internet 8 the signals are received. Thus, the user needs 12,13,14 make any settings. It is also possible that the transmitter 6 or via the Internet 8 an activation signal (not shown) is emitted. In this case, the activation signal additional information, such as channel or communication network 9, bonus allocation, etc., sent along, which are evaluated and can be displayed on the display.

FIG. 3 shows a terminal 1, preferably a multitask-enabled smartphone 16, which is suitable for carrying out and receiving a system or method for awarding a bonus, as has already been described in FIGS. 2, ie that a device or a terminal 1 is designed in such a way that the server has a first and a second interface, which are each coupled to a communication network 9, the first interface being connected via the communication network 9 Receives signals 7 from a user 12, 13, 14 and the second interface receives evaluation signals 10 from a plurality of transmission channels via the communication network 9, wherein 26 ··· * ♦ · · · · · · · · · · · · Is provided between the first and the second interface at least one processor which either the radio signals 7 from the user 12,13,14 with a current on associates with one of the multiple transmission channels transmitted program and / or evaluation signals 10 and in response to at least 5 automatically awards a bonus to the user 12,13,14 or received by the user radio signal e 7 balances with the evaluation signals 10 received from at least one of the plurality of transmission channels, detects the at least one of the plurality of transmission channels, and transmits detection information relating to the at least one of the plurality of transmission channels to the user 12, 13, 14; the radio signals 7 from the user 12, 13, 14 are associated with a program and / or evaluation signals 10 currently transmitted on one of the multiple transmission channels, and the user 12, 13, 14 is grouped into a chat group on the basis of a grouping frame stored in the processor , where the grouping frame contains the currently transmitted program. Of the
