  • Patent number: 7072629
    Abstract: A method for recording information that is transmitted over a radio frequency, especially traffic information, in which, in a monitoring state, the receiving device is supplied with power in a clocked manner. While switched on, the receiving device is tuned to a preestablished radio frequency and the received radio frequency is monitored for the presence of an identifier designating information. In the event an information identifier is detected, the receiver is supplied with power for the duration of the identifier and the information is recorded. In response to switching on the monitoring state, the preestablished radio frequency is determined as the frequency to which a radio frequency refers that transmits no information and that was set before the monitoring state was switched on.

  • Patent number: 6961548
    Abstract: A method of masking interruptions in the playback of received radio signals is provided, in which lengthy interruptions are allowed only when modulation of the radio broadcast program currently being received is recognized as speech, and a modulation pause in the received radio signal is detected. This method permits essentially complete masking of lengthy interruptions in playback or making them inaudible, in which these interruptions are necessary, e.g., for analysis/testing for a transmission frequency of transmitted RDS information to be used as an alternative to a transmission frequency currently being received.
