Abstract: A computer system receives information snippets from a mobile device. The information snippets are extracted from a simulcast of a data stream of a radio broadcast received on the mobile device. The system identifies content metadata from the information snippets. The content metadata describes one or more features of the radio broadcast. The system selects a radio station from a radio station repository based on attributes of the radio station. One of the selection criteria is that the attributes of the radio station match at least a portion of the content metadata. The system presents a reference to the radio station to the mobile device as a recommendation.

Abstract: A media channel can include a mix of media items and invitational content packages. At some point during the playback of the media channel, an invitational content package can be presented. In response to detecting the occurrence of an interactive segment triggering event during the presentation of the invitational content package, an invitational content interactive segment and a next media item can be simultaneously presented. This can be accomplished by splitting the media channel into multiple streams, such as an audio stream and a visual stream, and presenting an element of the interactive segment within a first stream and an element of the media item within a second stream. To decrease the likelihood that a user may equate the invitational content with the media item, a bumper content item, such as audio that says, “now back to the music,” can be presented just prior to playback of the media item.

Abstract translation: 媒体频道可以包括媒体项目和邀请内容包的组合。 在播放媒体频道的某个时刻，可以呈现邀请内容包。 响应于在呈现邀请内容包期间检测到交互式段触发事件的发生，可以同时呈现邀请内容交互区段和下一个媒体项目。 这可以通过将媒体信道分成多个流（例如音频流和可视流）并且在第一流内的媒体项目的第一流和元素内呈现交互式段的元素来实现。 为了降低用户可以将邀请内容与媒体项目相等的可能性，可以在播放媒体项目之前呈现保险杠内容项，例如说“现在回到音乐”的音频。
