Definitions
- the invention relates to a method for station search and position transmitter a communication terminal with a radio and / or a television receiver, available channels are searched and set on the radio and / or television receiver.
- Radios are increasingly integrated into communication terminals.
- the user must manually search for the available frequencies and manually name the corresponding transmitter if his device allows it. This is very uncomfortable for the user and may take a long time.
- the inventor proposes a method for searching and creating stations in a communication terminal with a radio and / or
- the names of the available transmitters are loaded.
- An advantageous embodiment of the method provides that the loaded data are stored as a list in the communication terminal. This list can be called up by the user, who can then set the desired station, preferably with the appropriate name. For example, the set station name can be read directly on a display.
- the setting of a transmitter via its designation is a significant relief, since the desired transmitter does not have to be recognized via the transmission frequency.
- location data of the communication terminal that is to say data which define the current position of the communication terminal, are transmitted when connected to the Internet.
- This transmission of the location data can take place both manually and automatically, the location data transmission preferably taking place automatically when dialing into the Internet.
- the location data can be transmitted by transmitting the numbers of base stations to which the communication terminal, for example the mobile phone, is connected.
- Each base station manages communication terminals only within a predetermined area. If a communication terminal, such as the mobile phone, moves from one area to another, the base station also changes and thus also the location-specific number of the base station. This number can therefore be used to define the location of the communication terminal.
- RDS Radio Data System
- GPS Global Positioning System
- OTD Oberserved Time Difference
- the corresponding transmitters are loaded from the Internet onto the communication terminal t.
- the website available for example by an operator or a manufacturer of the communication terminal, determines the transmitters available for this position and preferably theirs
- the communication terminal is connected to the Internet via a corresponding service.
- the connection to the Internet is preferably established using a WAP server by WAP (Wireless Application Protocol) instead of when data is to be transferred to a cell phone, for example.
- WAP Wireless Application Protocol
- a WAP server is used to connect an Internet server that provides the most varied of information with a wireless communication system that can receive the information provided by the Internet, and for this purpose various types of data available between the wireless communication system and the Internet server
- the WAP server can also be used to supply wireless communication terminals with self-generated information.
- the address of the WAP server is set automatically, for example via SMS.
- GPRS General Packet Radio Service
