Definitions

  • the present invention is related to a digital radio apparatus. It concerns as well a method for the reception of digital radio programs for such a digital radio apparatus.
  • the broadcasters are capable to offer electronic program guides and text message service.
  • radio devices offer a scanning function on live broadcast channels. On user demand, such radio devices start scanning and then stop on first tuned frequency.
  • the main technical problem is how to be able to scan and seek a specified type of digital radio broadcasting program from thousands of programs based on user preferences.
  • the present invention aims at selecting the appropriate program for each user by gathering profile information.
  • the object of the present invention is a digital radio apparatus adapted to operate on audio format comprising digital radio programs and program-related metadata, characterized in that it comprises :
  • the filtering means are adapted to output preferred metadata related to digital radio programs corresponding to the user preferences.
  • a controlling means is adapted to command a radio scanning management means to stop scanning radio frequencies.
  • a URL bookmark related to the corresponding detected preferred radio program is stored in a program URL database stored in the apparatus.
  • the list of URL bookmarks are exported by an export module via radio links to a remote device capable of retrieving the preferred radio programs from the related broadcaster website via an internet connection.
  • the object of the present invention is also a method for the reception of digital radio programs for a digital radio apparatus adapted to operate on audio format comprising digital radio programs and program-related metadata, characterized in that the method comprises the following steps :
  • the embodiment illustrated in the figure 1 shows a digital radio apparatus 1.
  • a user starts by specifying his preferences via a user interface (not referenced) of the digital radio apparatus 1, such preferences information are saved in the "User Preferences" database 5 of the apparatus 1.
  • the user preferences comprise for example his hobbies, favorite songs or music styles, his points of interests, etc.
  • the user preferences may comprise a user profile comprising different sets of criteria which vary upon the time.
  • Digital radio programs are transmitted by broadcasters on the waves.
  • Each program Is provided with metadata.
  • the metadata schema may be created simply to represent the radio program interests of users.
  • each metadata may have a vector containing several interests, each of them having a rating.
  • a filter 6 When scanning the radio spectrum, a filter 6 operates a comparison between each of the received metadata and data contained in the user preferences database.
  • the filter 6 acts as a network interface, delivering relevant metadata to a controller 7.
  • the filter is continuously downloading and evaluating metadata. Any item of metadata that matches the criteria of the user preferences is passed to the controller.
  • the controller evaluates each metadata and its relevancy on rules stored in a rules engine 10. Depending on the current state of the available radio program (cached files, available streams), the controller will decide whether to replace the current one.
  • a cache module 8 is responsible for managing the cache memory and ensuring that a good variety of radio programs is always available.
  • the controller 7 commands a radio scanning manager 9 to stop scanning radio frequencies.
  • the controller 9 commands the storage of a URL bookmark related to the corresponding detected radio program in a program URL database.
  • An entire file 111 (or a part thereof) of the program bookmarks store in the database 11 may be exported from the digital radio apparatus towards a third party terminal 12, which could be a PDA, Smartphone or PC, by using a wireless communication connection between both apparatus 1 and terminal 12.
  • the user will then be able to access the broadcasters' websites via an internet connection and request the downloading of his preferred radio programs corresponding to the imported file 111.
  • the apparatus 1 may incorporate a dedicated analysis module of the usage history and feedbacks then modifies the user preferences appropriately.
  • the apparatus is linked to a program renderer module for the audio output of the apparatus. It converts the digital stream or audio file into actual sound than can be heard by the user.
  • the invention allows to build a service to link the radio broadcasting and internet multi-media services.
  • the invention doesn't limit the radio station broadcasting to a specific coverage area any more, and promotes the use of online streaming media delivery service.
