Description
Method for Data Processing in a Radio Receiver The present invention is based on a method for data processing in a radio receiver.
It is already known from Thomas Lauterbach, publ., Digital Audio Broadcasting, p. 134, Franzis Verlag, 1996, that data in addition to radio programs are transmitted during DAB (digital audio broadcasting).
US-5,946,326A describes a device and a method for transmitting data-based services. Audio, video, and data based services are described. WO 97/43838A1 describes the use of DAB for transmitting control information. EP-A-804012 describes a system of DAB and mobile radio for scanning and receiving multimedia services.
Advantages of the present invention In contrast to this, the method according to the present invention for processing data in a radio receiver entails the advantage that software programs that run in the radio receiver evaluate data in order to control their execution. Because of this, user, location, or time specific execution is achieved, other locally available data in the radio receiver being usable for runtime control. This leads to high acceptance amongst the users of these radio receivers, and it offers the suppliers of these programs advantages with respect to broadcasting them.
Advantageous developments and improvements to the method for data processing in a radio receiver are made possible.
A broad aspect of the invention provides a method for processing data in a radio receiver, the radio receiver being loaded with a software element and being connected with sensors and at least one data receiving apparatus, the method comprising: receiving program data transmitted with radio signals; assembling software programs in the radio receiver from the program data; running the software programs by means of the software element; providing local data using the sensors; providing received data using the at least one data receiving apparatus; loading the local data and the received data to the software programs by way of interfaces of the software element; evaluating, by the software programs, all of the data that has been loaded;
controlling, by means of all the data, the execution of the software programs; and inputting user specific data by means of the radio receiver and using the user specific data for program runtime control; wherein the program data, the local data and the received data are buffered as buffered data;
and wherein the buffered data are updated if more current data from the sensors and the at least one data receiving apparatus are present.
Another broad aspect of the invention provides a method for processing data in a radio receiver, the radio receiver being loaded with a software element and being connected with sensors and at least one data receiving apparatus, the method comprising: receiving program data transmitted with radio signals; assembling software programs in the radio receiver from the program data; running the software programs by means of the software element;
providing local data using the sensors; providing received data using the at least one data receiving apparatus;
loading the local data and the received data to the software programs by way of interfaces of the software element;
evaluating, by the software programs, all of the data that has been loaded; controlling, by means of all the data, the execution of the software programs; and wherein the program data that is transmitted with the radio signals is used by the software programs for program runtime control; wherein the program data, the local data and the received data are buffered as buffered data; and wherein the buffered data are updated if more current data from the sensors and the at least one data receiving apparatus are present.
It is particularly advantageous that data that are evaluated by the programs for runtime control are input at the radio receiver. Because of this, the user compiles a user profile in order to control execution of the program according to his needs and wishes.
It is also an advantage that data are received by way of radio signals and then used for the runtime control of programs. This makes it possible for a service provider to influence the execution of the program according to his needs, i.e., for advertising.
In one development of the method according to the present invention program data and/or data generated by sensors and/or that have been received by radio signals are buffered until such 2a time as they are subsequently evaluated by the programs running in the radio receiver.
Furthermore, it is an advantage that the data that are used for runtime control of programs are kept up-to-date because data that is more up-to-date overwrites older, stored data. As a result, program execution is always controlled by prevailing conditions.
It is also an advantage that the data are transferred by MOT (Multimedia Object Transfer) protocol.
This ensures a great amount of freedom with respect to the organization of a data file and of the quantity of data used by DAB.
Drawings One exemplary embodiment of the present invention is shown in the drawing appended hereto, and will be described in greater detail below. Figure 1 is a flow chart for the method according to the present invention.
In the following, the term "program" will be used to refer to a "software program". The term "program" will not refer to a radio program, such as NDR 2.
A radio receiver, preferably a radio receiver for a motor vehicle, has software that is run in a processor that is part of the radio receiver. Such software is an operating system that permits execution of programs that are installed in the operating system. The operating system also has a software element that creates an environment for the programs that are running that is independent of the apparatus. Thus, the programs are independent of the particular processor or the particular operating system.
The software element and the programs running thereon are programed in the widely used Java programing language so that, in this instance in particular, very small programs, so-called aplets, can be written very easily. The software element is thus a Java processor. Besides this, the software element can also run directly on the processor of the radio receiver as a Java operating system. A further possibility is that the Java processor be integrated directly into the processor.
The programs that run on the radio receiver are received as program data by way of digital radio signals and then assembled in the radio receiver so that they can then run as a program.
DAB is used as the digital radio broadcast transmission method.
DAB is a digital broadcast transmission method whereby additional data information is transmitted with the actual audio program.
DAB is particularly well suited for the mobile receiver in a motor vehicle, since the properties of DAB are designed for mobile reception. In particular, because the signals that carry the information are divided amongst several carrier frequencies-when the signals on the different carrier frequencies do not interfere with each other-frequency selective attenuation does not weaken the whole signal to the point that reception is no longer possible; rather, given frequency selective attenuation, only the information that is being transmitted on the frequency that undergoes this powerful attenuation is lost. Because of error detecting and error correcting codes, this part of the information can, however, be reconstructed in the radio receiver.
This division of the signals amongst different carrier frequencies is referred to as orthogonal frequency division multiplex (OFDM).
These error detecting and error correcting codes require that additional data be added to the data that is to be transmitted, which is done in the radio receiver. Accordingly, redundancy is added. This redundancy is either added at the end of a data block, or the redundancy is added at different positions between the data, in accordance with a predetermined rule. Then, errors that occur are detected and corrected in the radio receiver by means of this redundancy.
In addition to DAB, other radio broadcast transmission methods such as digital video broadcasting (DVB) and digital radio mondial (DRM) are also suitable for such data transmission.
These methods differ from DAB essentially by a different frame structure, a different bandwidth, and a different transmission frequency, although here, too, use is made of error detecting and error correcting codes and OFDM, for example. Analog broadcasting methods have digital carriers such as, for example, the familiar radio data signal, which can also be used for such data transmission.
In addition to receiving program data in order to be able to assemble programs running on the software element by means of these program data, programs that are executed by means of the software element can be previously stored in a memory of the radio receiver or loaded from other data sources, for example, from a chip card.
The programs that are executed in a radio receiver will depend initially on the transmitter that is selected if the programs are to be received by means of DAB radio broadcast signals. The programs are thus coupled to a particular transmitter. The simplest case for such a program that is executed in a radio receiver is the presentation of the transmitter name and additionally the type of program, i.e., whether this is a news station or a classical music station.
According to the present invention, data from local data sources, or received data, or input data are used for runtime control of the programs that run on the radio receiver. This is particularly suitable for advertising, for on the one hand this permits an advertisement that is linked to a specific locality, for example, a local furniture store, or an advertisement that is specific to a user, for example, a user who is interested in recreational electronics.
In addition, it is also possible to provide the user with local information about events by way of a radio receiver, or to provide the user with user-specific information such as information about the stock exchange.
Figure 1 is a flow chart for the method according to the present invention; this is executed in the processor of the radio receiver. In step 1 of the method, the DAB signals are received.
In addition to this, the radio broadcast signals that have been received are amplified, converted to a lower intermediate frequency, and filtered in order to eliminated unwanted frequency components. The filtered signals are then digitized.
In step 2, the digitized signals are decoded, when error detection and error correcting codes are used in order to correct any errors that have occurred in the digitized signals In step 3 the information that is transmitted in individual data sets within the DAB framework is sorted.
Then, in step 4 of the method, the particular program is assembled from the sorted program data, when useful data is processed separately from the program data. Such useful data are the data that are presented by the programs such as text, image, audio and video sequences.
In step 5 of the method, one or a plurality of assembled programs are started by the radio receiver, and in step 6 the programs that have been started search for data so as to control their execution.
These data are either contained in the digital radio broadcast signals, as described heretofore, or the data are taken from local data sources. Such local data sources are pickups that are connected to the radio receiver. They are brightness sensors, temperature sensors, an oil level sensor, and a gasoline level sensor. These pickups supply data that a program compares with data that is preset in the radio receiver for the particular sensor, and if these values are exceeded or not reached, they inform the user of this change, this information being shown in a display of the radio receiver so that the user can react to the changes.
An additional data source is a locating device, a GPS (Global Positioning System) receiver that supplies the coordinates of the radio receiver if the radio receiver is close to the locating device. In this case, the locating device is a data receiving apparatus.
The program that is running then involves data with which the program compares the current location coordinates, in order to arrive at a location-dependent presentation of the advertisement or local information. The comparison involves formation of a difference between the actual coordinates and coordinates that are stored in the program as coordinates, and a comparison of the difference with a threshold for the difference that is stored in the program that is running; when the difference lies beneath this threshold the location dependent version for this area is presented, and if not, then this location dependent version is not presented by the program. If a plurality of location dependent presentations are possible for different coordinates, then such a difference is formed with several predetermined coordinates until such time as a difference lies beneath the predetermined threshold, or until such time as all the predetermined coordinates have been used to form a difference.
In the latter case, no location dependent presentation of information is undertaken by the program that is running.
In addition to the radio receiver, it is possible to use other data receiving apparatuses that are connected to the radio receiver as a data receiving apparatus. Thus, a mobile telephone that can also receive data is connected to the radio receiver and sends data to this radio receiver. Such mobile telephones can be designed in keeping with the GSM (Global System for Mobile Communications) or the UMTS (Universal Mobile Telecommunications System) standard, although other mobile radio standards that are suitable for data reception can also be used. if the radio receiver is stationary, it can also be coupled to the telephone network or receive data via a satellite.
Local data are also input to the radio receiver by the user. The user indicates whether or not he is interested in particular event, together with his age, in order to identify a target group for a specific advertiser, or which other interests he may have, e.g., with respect to best sellers, music, or sport. A keyboard with which the user inputs this information is a pickup.
A program that presents news will provide mainly sports news for the user if the user has input the fact that he or she is interested mainly in sports.
The Java processor has interfaces with which the different data sources can be addressed. The program that is being executed uses these interfaces to load the data from the individual data sources.
In step 7 of the process, these data are loaded in order to be evaluated in step 8 according to the details referred to above.
Then, in step 9 of the process the program is executed according to this evaluation.
Data that are received by way of DAB radio broadcast signals are buffered until such time as they are checked. Thus, it is ensured that all usable data are used for runtime control of the programs.
Because data is overwritten by newer data, it is ensured that the data that is checked by the programs for runtime control is always up-to-date. Location coordinates are overwritten by new location coordinates, and user specific inputs are overwritten by new user specific inputs.
Because of the division of the data during transmission by means of DAB radio broadcast signals in the MOT frames, great flexibility in the addressability and size of the data is achieved. The MOT protocol permits the addressing of 268 Mb.
The data that are used for assembling programs and the multimedia data are sent by means of MOT frames.
It is already known from Thomas Lauterbach, publ., Digital Audio Broadcasting, p. 134, Franzis Verlag, 1996, that data in addition to radio programs are transmitted during DAB (digital audio broadcasting).
