  • Patent number: 11308978
    Abstract: Methods, apparatus, systems and articles of manufacture are disclosed for distributed automatic speech recognition. An example apparatus includes a detector to process an input audio signal and identify a portion of the input audio signal including a sound to be evaluated, the sound to be evaluated organized into a plurality of audio features representing the sound. The example apparatus includes a quantizer to process the audio features using a quantization process to reduce the audio features to generate a reduced set of audio features for transmission. The example apparatus includes a transmitter to transmit the reduced set of audio features over a low-energy communication channel for processing.

  • Patent number: 9633374
    Abstract: A method and system for specifying content of interest using a digital radio broadcast receiver is described. A digital radio broadcast signal includes an alternate way of distributing content-rich Advertisements over the digital radio broadcast networks and rebroadcast these Advertisements over technologies like Bluetooth, Wi-Fi and the like to smart devices. A digital out-of-home network system will act as a bridge to relay the received Advertisements to smart devices.

  • Patent number: 9419732
    Abstract: Certain embodiments herein are directed to optimized decoding of in-band on-channel (IBOC) services, such as audio, traffic, and data associated with HD Radio™. Service information, such as service boundaries for one or more segments associated with IBOC services, may be identified and formatted for transmission to a receiver device. The receiver device may use the service boundaries to select or filter segments associated only with a service of interest from a bit stream of segments associated with one or more other services, according to one embodiment.

  • Patent number: 8938033
    Abstract: A method and system for offline processing alert messages (AR) on a digital radio broadcast receiver is described. A digital radio broadcast signal is received at the digital radio broadcast receiver. AR receivers will constantly look for AR alerts at a periodic interval by monitoring the station information service (SIS) on Primary IBOC Data Service (PIDS) channel to maximize the battery life at the same time achieving a reasonable latency in receiving AR alerts.

  • Publication number: 20140094132
    Abstract: Embodiments may comprise radio data system logic to enter a sleep mode and wake periodically to receive a data packet. In several embodiments, the data packet is a Radio Data System (RDS) packet and the radio data system logic is RDS logic. Further embodiments may comprise radio data system logic to process the data packet to determine a first type field and to parse the first type field to identify a first indication. In several embodiments, parsing the data packet by the radio data system logic comprises parsing the data packet to determine a program type field and parsing the program type field to identify the first indication as an emergency alert indication. In response to identifying the first indication as a trigger, many embodiments wake up NRSC-5 compliant, In-band on-channel (IBOC) radio logic to process an Active Radio message to output information associated with the first indication.

  • Publication number: 20110202270
    Abstract: A system to add metadata to downstream broadcasts to devices such as smart phones, MP3 music players, tablet computers, etc. equipped with receivers to receive said downstream broadcasts and a full time or part time upstream digital data communication path. The devices are controlled to display or playback advertisements, images etc. in the metadata, detect click events indicating interest by a user in something in the metadata and communicate that click event upstream over a full time or part time internet or an SMS data path connection. Upstream communications to implement user interest such as visit web pages, make a phone call, start an e-commerce transaction are implemented by the client devices. The Transmitters have structure to insert metadata in band or out of band with the broadcast program content and can be coupled to ad servers.
