  • Method and apparatus for a broadcast radio receiver to generate an electronic program guide
    Patent number: 8483637
    Abstract: A radio receiver converts received RF signals in a predetermined frequency band into digital RF signals, converts the digital RF signals into IF signals corresponding to RF signals whose carrier frequencies are different from one another, converts one of the digital RF signals into an IF signal corresponding to an RF signal whose carrier frequency matches a selection input made by a user, outputs audio data included in the converted IF signal corresponding to the RF signal whose carrier frequency meets the selection input made by the user, extracts sets of program information, respectively, from the converted IF signals corresponding to the RF signals, generates an electronic program guide by listing the extracted sets of program information in association with the carrier frequencies of the RF signals from which the sets of program information are extracted, and displays an image representing the electronic program guide.
