Abstract: A method of operating a radio in a vehicle includes tuning the radio to a first radio source. Information identifying the first radio source is transmitted from the vehicle to a remote processor. The processor monitors broadcast content of the first radio source on a web site. The processor identifies a second radio source having broadcast content matching the broadcast content of the first radio source. Information identifying the second radio source is transmitted from the processor to the vehicle. When a quality of a broadcast signal from the first radio source received at the vehicle falls below a threshold quality level, tuning of the radio is switched from the first radio source to the second radio source.

Abstract: An exemplary embodiment of the present disclosure illustrates a program event detection method mainly executed in a server of a service provider end. Features of frontend parts of program segments are detected. Original times of the program segments corresponding to the detected features are obtained. A relation between the original times and program displaying times of the program segments is determined according to the original times and the program displaying times. A program event and a program event time thereof based on original times are received. According to a real broadcasting time, the program event time, and the relation between the original times and program displaying times, a real program event time is calculated. At the real program event time, the program event is transmitted to a networking device of a client end.

Abstract: The determination and identification of channels in a signal is an important aspect of the operation of a signal receiver. A method (800) is described including the steps receiving (802) a signal containing a plurality of channels, filtering (806) the signal to produce an indicator of a channel band edge, and determining (818) a characteristic of the channel based on the indicator. Additionally, an apparatus (300) is described including a spectrum shift circuit (304) that receives an input signal and shifts the frequency spectrum of the signal, a filter (306) that filters the frequency shifted signal to produce an indicator of a band edge of a channel, and a signal analysis circuit (316, 318) that determines a characteristic of the channel based on the indicator of the band edge, the signal analysis circuit (316, 318) controlling the frequency shift in the spectrum shift circuit (304) based on the determined characteristic of the channel.

Abstract: The invention relates to a method for receiving radio broadcast signals by means of a radio broadcast receiver and to a radio broadcast receiver designed for performing the method, wherein the broadcast receiver has at least two receiving units for different transmission techniques. The user selects a radio broadcast service of a first receiving unit of the at least two receiving units, and the selected radio broadcast service is then played back by the radio broadcast receiver. The other, second receiving unit for the different transmission technique of the radio broadcast receiver searches for an alternative radio broadcast service having preferably the same or comparable content during the playback of the radio broadcast service selected by the user, and the radio broadcast receiver automatically switches over to the second receiving unit having the alternative radio broadcast service if the first receiving unit cannot play back the selected radio broadcast service.

Abstract: A radio tuning method for a vehicle includes sensing that the vehicle is traveling out of a terrestrial broadcast range of a radio station that a radio of the vehicle is currently tuned to. The radio station broadcasts first content. An internet location streaming second content that is substantially similar to the first content broadcasted by the radio station is identified. An estimated period of time remaining until the vehicle exits the terrestrial broadcast range of the first radio station is indicated to the user. A user of the vehicle is provided with an option to switch tuning of the radio from the radio station to the interaet location that is streaming the second content.
