Abstract: A system comprises an intermediate communication platform that provides an interface to an Internet network; and a first server including: a port operatively coupled to the intermediate communication platform, processing circuitry, and a service application for execution by the processor. The service application is configured to: receive geographic location information of a radio receiver via the intermediate communication platform; determine one or more radio broadcasts available to the radio receiver according to the geographic location information; and send metadata for the radio broadcast, the metadata including an indication whether content of the radio broadcast is suitable for an audio fingerprinting process to the radio receiver via the intermediate communication platform.

Abstract: An audio delivery system (100) can include an alert processor (108) configured to parse alert content. The alert processor can receive first data representing the alert content. The alert processor can convert the alert content to an alert message that includes alert text and parameters. A connected radio server (120), coupled to the alert processor via internet protocol, can insert the alert content into a data stream. The connected radio server can receive second data representing the alert message from the alert processor via internet protocol. The connected radio server can receive instructions from the alert processor via internet protocol to incorporate the alert message into the data stream. The data stream can include an audio stream and the alert message. The connected radio server can provide the data stream to a connected radio receiver (102) via internet protocol.

Abstract: Over-the-air radio broadcast signals are commonly used to deliver a variety of programming content (e.g., audio, etc.) to radio receiver systems. Supplemental data (e.g., metadata) may be provided to radio broadcast receiver systems, where such supplemental data is associated with the programming content delivered via the over-the-air radio broadcast signals. In exemplary embodiments described herein, a radio receiver system receives both (i) primary programming content via over-the-air radio broadcast transmission, and (ii) metadata related to the programming content via wireless Internet. This use of metadata provides a user with an enhanced experience regardless of the type of terrestrial broadcast signal that is received at the user's radio receiver system. Users receiving radio broadcast signals at a receiver system may view images, videos, multimedia displays, text, etc., that is related to the programming content received via the over-the-air radio broadcast signals.

Abstract: A radio receiver comprises radio frequency (RF) receiver circuitry that receives a radio broadcast signal, an Internet network interface, a display, a memory, processing circuitry, and a client application including instructions for execution by the processing circuitry. The client application is configured to: determine geographic location information of the radio receiver; determine radio broadcasts that are available to the radio receiver using the geographical location information; select metadata, from metadata stored in the memory, that is associated with the radio broadcasts available to the radio receiver; and present information included in the selected metadata using the display according to the received radio broadcast signal.

Abstract: Systems, methods, and processor readable media are disclosed for detection of signal quality problems and errors in digital radio broadcast signals. First monitoring equipment is located in an over-the-air coverage area of a first radio station. Second monitoring equipment is located in an over-the-air coverage area of a second radio station. The first and second monitoring equipment are configured to receive digital radio broadcast signals from the respective first and second radio stations. A computing system is configured to receive data from the first monitoring equipment and the second monitoring equipment, the data being indicative of one or more attributes of a digital radio broadcast signal received at respective monitoring equipment. The computing system analyzes received data to detect a signal quality problem or error in the digital radio broadcast signals received at the first and second monitoring equipment.
