Systems and methods are described for rendering content at a digital radio broadcast receiver system. A digital radio broadcast signal comprises data for rendering content at the digital radio broadcast receiver. The digital radio broadcast signal is processed to determine whether the data from the digital radio broadcast transmission contains a data error. A portion of the data containing the data error is identified. A download request is transmitted to a computing system, where the download request requests duplicate data for the portion of the data containing the data error. The duplicate data is received at the digital radio broadcast receiver for the portion of the data containing the error via other wireless communication other than the digital radio broadcast. The duplicate data is processed to provide an uninterrupted rendering of the content.

A method includes receiving at least an indication of a notification message through a first channel and receiving at least a part of the notification message through a second channel. The receiving at least an indication of a notification message may include a push-type delivery, and the receiving at least a part of the notification message may include a pull procedure. Alternatively, the receiving at least an indication of a notification message may include a poll-type delivery, and the receiving at least a part of the notification message may include a pull procedure.

Methods, systems, and apparatus, including medium-encoded computer program products, for adaptive content distribution using private encoded audio identifiers are described. The techniques can include receiving event data that indicates that a digital component with an audio signature was transmitted to a display device. The event data can also include a time at which the digital component was transmitted. A content request can be received from a different client device and can include data representative of a captured audio signature and the time at which the audio signature was captured. In response to determining that the content request is requesting content related to the digital component based at least on (i) a determination that the audio signature matches the audio signature of the digital component and (ii) a determination that the time are within a threshold duration, the content related to the digital component can be sent to the client device.

Techniques for real-time audience measurement are provided. The techniques include instant message protocol in a DVR environment to obtain real-time audience measurement data to modify the scheduled recording time of a media content in real-time, to bookmark in real-time, and to gather audience ratings on commercials and viewership in real-time.

A system and method facilitate digital marketing for sponsors of live television broadcasts. The system allows a user, using an application on a computing device while a piece of sponsored content is being broadcast, to express an interest in the broadcast piece of sponsored content and the interest of the user is communicated to a backend system that selects an endpoint destination associated with the broadcast piece of sponsored content wherein the endpoint destination is a pointer to further digital information about the broadcast piece of sponsored content. The system and method may periodically change the selected endpoint destination based on an event in the sponsored piece of content.

A method is disclosed for monitoring the audience of an advertisement over a content distribution system, the advertisement comprising an advertising message associated with an audio content. The method comprises: inserting, within the message, an advertising identifier associated with the advertisement and distributing the audio content with the advertising message to a user of the content distribution system; at a first user device configured to receive the audio content, playing the audio content with the advertising message; at a second user device connected to the first user device and configured to communicate with a data collection server over a data communication network, retrieving a customer identifier uniquely associated with the user; and, during or after playing, sending by the second user device the customer identifier and the advertising identifier extracted from the advertising message to the server to monitor the audience of the advertising message.

A wireless communication device and an image display apparatus including the same are disclosed. An image display according to an embodiment of the present disclosure comprises a display, a memory to store country code information, a signal processing device to output an image signal to the display, and a wireless communication device to perform wireless communication with an external device, wherein the wireless communication device is configured to scan a beacon frame, set wireless channel and wireless transmission power based on the country code information stored in the memory in response to a beacon frame being not received within a predetermined period, and in response to the beacon frame being received within the predetermined period, extract the country code information within the beacon frame and set wireless channel and wireless transmission power based on the extracted country code information. Accordingly, it is possible to efficiently perform wireless communication.
