Abstract: Systems and methods are disclosed for communicating an emergency alert message from a digital radio broadcast transmission system of a mobile vehicle to a digital radio broadcast receiver system. A digital radio broadcast signal including first and second data is broadcasted using the digital radio broadcast transmission system to end-user digital radio broadcast receivers. The first data includes an emergency code, and the second data includes an emergency alert message. The digital radio broadcast signal is transmitted at a predetermined frequency that is recognized by the receivers as an emergency notification frequency. The digital radio broadcast signal can be decoded only by receivers located within a localized area in a proximity of the transmission system. The receivers are configured to automatically tune to the emergency notification frequency to receive the digital radio broadcast signal and render the second data based on a detection of the emergency code within the signal.

Abstract: Systems and methods are described for rendering content at a digital radio broadcast receiver system. A digital radio broadcast signal comprises data for rendering content at the digital radio broadcast receiver. The digital radio broadcast signal is processed to determine whether the data from the digital radio broadcast transmission contains a data error. A portion of the data containing the data error is identified. A download request is transmitted to a computing system, where the download request requests duplicate data for the portion of the data containing the data error. The duplicate data is received at the digital radio broadcast receiver for the portion of the data containing the error via other wireless communication other than the digital radio broadcast. The duplicate data is processed to provide an uninterrupted rendering of the content.
