  • Autonomous intelligent radio
    Patent number: 11152016
    Abstract: Embodiments of the disclosed technologies include finding content of interest in an RF spectrum by automatically scanning the RF spectrum; detecting, in a range of frequencies of the RF spectrum that includes one or more undefined channels, a candidate RF segment; where the candidate RF segment includes a frequency-bound time segment of electromagnetic energy; executing a machine learning-based process to determine, for the candidate RF segment, signal characterization data indicative of one or more of: a frequency range, a modulation type, a timestamp; using the signal characterization data to determine whether audio contained in the candidate RF segment corresponds to a search criterion; in response to determining that the candidate RF segment corresponds to the search criterion, outputting, through an electronic device, data indicative of the candidate RF segment; where the data indicative of the candidate RF segment is output in a real-time time interval after the candidate RF segment is detected.
