A method for processing audio signals in a radio transmitter, includes: receiving an analog audio sample stream and a digital audio sample stream; determining offsets in time between the analog audio stream and the digital audio stream using a normalized cross-correlation of audio envelopes of the analog audio sample stream and the digital audio sample stream; filtering the determined offsets in time to produce filtered offset values; determining an alignment slip adjustment value as a function of the filtered offset values; aligning the analog audio sample stream and the digital audio sample stream using the determined alignment slip adjustment value; and generating a hybrid radio signal for broadcast that includes time-aligned analog audio and digital audio.

A radio broadcast receiver comprising: a memory; and a processor that is coupled to the memory, and, when executing a program stored in the memory, performs operations. The operations include: receiving analog quality information indicating a reception quality of an analog radio based on a broadcast radio including a digital radio and the analog radio; and determining switching of a radio source from one of the broadcast radio and an IP radio to the other of the broadcast radio and the IP radio based on the analog quality information indicating the reception quality of the analog radio.

A method for processing a digital audio broadcast signal in a radio receiver, includes: receiving a hybrid broadcast signal; demodulating the hybrid broadcast signal to produce an analog audio stream and a digital audio stream; and using a normalized cross-correlation of envelopes of the analog audio stream and the digital audio stream to measure a time offset between the analog audio stream and the digital audio stream. The time offset can be used to align the analog audio stream and the digital audio stream for subsequent blending of an output of the radio receiver from the analog audio stream to the digital audio stream or from the digital audio stream to the analog audio stream.

The present technology relates to a receiving device, a transmitting device, and a data processing method, in which seamless reproduction can be performed at the time of switching a broadcast signal. A receiving device receives a plurality of broadcast signals, and selects a broadcast signal of a target from the plurality of broadcast signals, on the basis of a result of processing with respect to the broadcast signal, and thus, it is possible to perform seamless reproduction at the time of switching the broadcast signal. The present technology, for example, can be applied to a receiver which is capable of receiving digital television broadcast.
