Abstract: Provided are a broadcast signal interface unit and method for converting program content and ancillary data of a first broadcast type into a broadcast channel of a second broadcast signal type. The broadcast channel of the second broadcast signal type is provided to one or more broadcast receivers of the second broadcast signal type in order to reproduce the program content and the ancillary data. The broadcast signal converter includes a converter for generating the broadcast channel of the second broadcast signal type. The generated broadcast channel of the second broadcast signal type comprises the program content and ancillary data.

Abstract: A mobile device in a wireless communication network is provided with a positioner configured to determine geographic position information related to the device. The mobile device is further provided with a transceiver assigned a unique mobile number by a wireless communication system in which the device operates, and which is communicatively coupled to the positioner. The transceiver is configured to receive position requests directed to the mobile number and to transmit the position information in response to the position requests. In one implementation, a transceiver within a particular device is activated when a call is placed through the wireless communication system to the mobile number associated with the device. The location transceiver is configured to obtain position information from the positioner, and to continuously transmit the position information to the network node, as soon as the location transceiver is activated.
