Patent number: 8804037Abstract: Systems, methods, and processor readable media are disclosed for encoding and transmitting first media content and second media content using a digital radio broadcast system, such that the second media content can be rendered in synchronization with the first media content by a digital radio broadcast receiver. The disclosed systems, methods, and processor-readable media determine when a receiver will render audio and data content that is transmitted at a given time by the digital radio broadcast transmitter, and adjust the media content accordingly to provide synchronized rendering. In exemplary embodiments, these adjustments can be provided by: 1) inserting timing instructions specifying playback time in the secondary content based on calculated delays; or 2) controlling the timing of sending the primary or secondary content to the transmitter so that it will be rendered in synchronization by the receiver.Type: GrantFiled: February 21, 2012Date of Patent: August 12, 2014Assignee: iBiquity Digital CorporationInventors: Steven Andrew Johnson, Muthu Gopal Balasubramanian, Harvey Chalmers, Jeffrey Ranken Detweiler, Albert Gambardella, Russell Iannuzzelli, Stephen Douglas Mattson

Patent number: 8111716Abstract: A data unit for transmitting data in a digital broadcasting system includes a first payload field, and a first byte code field having a value indicating an offset of data in the first payload field with respect to an absent value. A method for formatting the data unit includes: providing data for a payload field for a data unit, wherein the data includes an absent byte value, determining an offset between an absent byte value and other data in the payload field, shifting the data in the payload field by the offset to produce shifted bytes, and inserting a byte code in the data unit, wherein the byte code indicates the offset. A transmitter for transmitting the data units, and a receiver for receiving the data units are also provided.Type: GrantFiled: February 15, 2008Date of Patent: February 7, 2012Assignee: iBiquity Digital CorporationInventors: Russell Iannuzzelli, Stephen Douglas Mattson

Patent number: 6721337Abstract: A method for transmission of compressed data for a digital audio broadcasting system comprises the steps of producing digital information representative of an audio signal; estimating the number of bits to be allocated to the digital information in a modem frame; encoding the digital information within the estimated number of bits to produce encoded data; removing selected bits from the encoded data; adding bits corresponding to digital messages to the encoded information to form a composite modem frame; formatting the composite modem frame bits to produce formatted composite modem frame bits; and transmitting the formatted composite modem frame bits. The invention also encompasses transmitters that perform the method.Type: GrantFiled: August 24, 1999Date of Patent: April 13, 2004Assignee: iBiquity Digital CorporationInventors: Brian William Kroeger, Stephen Douglas Mattson
