Definitions

  • the present invention relates to a device which has been especially designed to allow a user the possibility of having, both instantly and a posteriori, information about the contents broadcast over radio or television.
  • the object of the invention is to allow said user to have, especially a posteriori, information such as the title, artist, author; advertised product or service, relating to a song, musical or audiovisual, informative or advertising event broadcast through a radio or television broadcasting system, so that the user may locate it in order to acquire it or to request it from the radio broadcaster or in the corresponding sales network.
  • the invention is therefore comprised in the field of electronic devices and equipment for receiving radio and/or television signals.
  • broadcasting in which there is a transmitting element and a plurality of receiver elements, has experienced a series of transformations in recent years that will mark the evolution of the program, services and equipment market for decades to come.
  • the Radio Data System and Radio Broadcast Data System are standards which allow sending data on the same channel that the broadcaster uses to send the voice and music information in analog FM.
  • the most known application is to send the identification of the broadcasting station to display it in the users' receiver equipment.
  • RDS is primarily used in Europe and RBDS in the USA. - DAB
  • Digital Audio Broadcast is a digital radio broadcast standard developed as a research project for the European Union. It is the system that will supposedly replace traditional analog FM in coming years even though it is foreseen that analog FM will still be a very widespread option worldwide for a considerable time period.
  • Digital Video Broadcasting is an international organization created to promote digital television standards such as high-definition television (HDTV), satellite television, etc.
  • HDTV high-definition television
  • satellite television etc.
  • DVB In addition to specifying the audio and video transmission, DVB also defines data connections (DVB-DATA- EN3Ol 192) with return channels (DVB-RC) for different mediums (DECT, GSM, RTB/RDSI, satellite, etc).
  • All this equipment has compact designs and huge functionalities, such as for example the possibility of setting up wireless communications (Bluetooth, WiFi standards, etc) or of incorporating radio and TV receivers which allow receiving a signal in several fixed and mobile settings.
  • wireless communications Bluetooth, WiFi standards, etc
  • radio and TV receivers which allow receiving a signal in several fixed and mobile settings.
  • the device for identifying radio and television contents proposed by the invention affords its users the possibility of having, both instantly and a posteriori, information about the contents broadcast over radio or television.
  • the proposed device which could be introduced in any already existing receiver equipment, such as a radio, a sound system, a fixed or portable television receiver, as well as be an integral part thereof in the event that it is a newly manufactured product, basically consists of a microprocessor or microcontroller; with programming software or firmware suitable to be able to interpret the RDS, RBDS, DAB, or DVB data signals, depending on the device in question, signals which will contain information about the broadcast content, such as, in the case of a song, its title, artist, author; and in other different cases, such as advertisements or television shows or movies, the advertised product or service, title of the movie, and any type of information which allows the user to identify the broadcast content for the purpose of being able to purchase it or request if from the broadcaster or in the corresponding sales network a posteriori.
  • a microprocessor or microcontroller with programming software or firmware suitable to be able to interpret the RDS, RBDS, DAB, or DVB data signals, depending on the device in question, signals which will contain information about
  • the mentioned microprocessor will be associated to a memory module which will store said information for its subsequent recovery, said microprocessor or microcontroller being associated to an activation element for recording the mentioned information when the user finds it appropriate, which can be implemented as a simple button or switch, or it can be embodied by means of a voice activation system commonly referred to as "hands-free", being able to have a module or interface for wired or wireless communications with other devices through which said command is received.
  • the stored data can be accessed through a display associated to the mentioned microprocessor or microcontroller, which can be embodied in the same display of the receiver device or in a display specifically designed for that purpose, through the same display, if it is a television receiver, or if said device is wired to or is wirelessly connected to an external device, such as a computer, a mobile television or electronic agenda, likewise allowing said information to be downloaded through connection ports to external devices.
  • a display associated to the mentioned microprocessor or microcontroller which can be embodied in the same display of the receiver device or in a display specifically designed for that purpose, through the same display, if it is a television receiver, or if said device is wired to or is wirelessly connected to an external device, such as a computer, a mobile television or electronic agenda, likewise allowing said information to be downloaded through connection ports to external devices.
  • the invention can especially be applied in the field of automotion, such that it affords the option of recording the mentioned information about a content of interest for the driver by means of pushing a button or by means of the mentioned hands-free system of the vehicle, thus avoiding having to write down or mentally recall those songs that the user likes, thereby eliminating distractions while driving.
  • the device proposed by the invention is designed to be installed in a radio and/or television receiver equipment (1) or to be part thereof, which equipment is associated to its corresponding receiving antenna (2), which can indistinctly be a portable domestic radio, a fixed domestic radio, high-fidelity equipment, a radio/television receiver built into an automobile or other means of transport, a fixed or portably television receiver, or a television receiver built into any portable device such as a computer, mobile telephone, electronic agenda, etc.
  • the mentioned receiver equipment (1) receives the signal (3) broadcast by the broadcasting station (4) in question, which signal (3), together with the tuned radio or television content, will incorporate a digital data signal relating thereto based on the RDS (Radio Data System), RBDS (Radio Broadcast Data System), DAB (Digital Audio Broadcasting), DVB (Digital Video Broadcasting) standards or any other similar standard, such that said receiver (1) is able to extract the information relating to the tuned content, such as the title, artist, version, broadcasting date, etc, thanks to a microprocessor or microcontroller (5) associated thereto, which has programming software or firmware suitable to interpret and process said information.
  • RDS Radio Data System
  • RBDS Radio Broadcast Data System
  • DAB Digital Audio Broadcasting
  • DVB Digital Video Broadcasting
  • the mentioned microcontroller (5) is complemented with a memory module (6) for storing the data relating to the tuned contents, which data could be stored in said memory (6) when the user of the device finds it appropriate, for which purpose the mentioned microprocessor or microcontroller (5) incorporates means for activating the recording process of the mentioned information, which can indistinctly be simple button or switch (7) appropriately arranged on the casing of the device, or be associated to a voice activation system (8) commonly referred to as "hands-free".
  • the microprocessor or microcontroller (5) is likewise associated to a module or interface for wireless communications with other devices, either through radiofrequencies (9) or infrared (10), devices such as electronic agendas, mobile telephones, portable computers, etc, through which the command to activate the recording of the data associated to the broadcast content is sent, and/or one or more connection ports (11) for external devices for the same purpose, said ports and the module (9-10) for wireless communications nevertheless being able to allow downloading the information stored in the memory (6) into different supports for their subsequent analysis.
