METHODS AND SYSTEMS FOR LANGUAGE PROCESSING WITH RADIO DEVICES

Systems and processes for language processing with radio devices are provided. For example, radio broadcast information is received at a first electronic device, and a vocabulary is modified based on the received radio broadcast information. A speech input is received from a user of the first electronic device. A user intent of the speech input is obtained based on the modified vocabulary. A request is transmitted, based on the user intent, to a second electronic device.

In one aspect, an example method includes (i) while a media playback device of a vehicle is playing back content received on a first channel, generating, by the media playback device, a query fingerprint using second content received on a second channel; (ii) sending, by the media playback device, the query fingerprint to a server that maintains a reference database containing a plurality of reference fingerprints; (iii) receiving, by the media playback device from the server, identifying information corresponding to a reference fingerprint of the plurality of reference fingerprints that matches the query fingerprint; and (iv) while the media playback device is playing back the first content received on the first channel, providing, by the media playback device for display, at least a portion of the identifying information.

Multi-level matching facilitating delivery of enhanced content

A server receives, from a broadcast station, a message including a station identifier and a list of media-works scheduled for broadcast. The media-works are identified by identifying attributes. The server attempts a first-level match between identifying attributes associated with a first media-work and unique identifiers included in a database. The unique identifiers link content attributes of different media-works to different unique identifiers. The first-level match includes comparing the identifying attributes to the unique identifiers to determine whether an identifying attribute matches any of the unique identifiers stored in the database. If not, a second-level match compares the identifying attributes to content attributes of different media-works to identify content attributes that match the identifying attributes. If the second-level match identifies matching content attributes that link the media-work to a unique identifiers in the database, enhanced content is selected based on that unique identifier, and is delivered to the broadcast station.

Media exchange between devices

The techniques disclosed herein include a first device for reading one or more tags in metadata, the first device including one or more processors configured to receive metadata, from a second device, wirelessly connected via a sidelink channel to the first device. The one or more processors may also be configured to read the metadata, received from the second device to extract one or more tags representative of audio content, and identify audio content based on the one or more tags, and output the audio content. The first device may also include a memory, coupled to the one or more processors, configured to store the metadata.

Enhanced radio systems and methods
11108482 · 2021-08-31 · ·

An enhanced radio system is disclosed that provides for the capture and playback of one or more radio stations. A user may tune to a station, scan through stations, rewind through missed content (even while the system is off), and fast-forward through undesired content, while downloading and uploading audio content, and sending content to another user. A user may rate content, and be notified when that content is played on any station, with undesirable content skipped and desirable content saved, or station recommendations made. Support for multiple sets of configuration information to allow use by multiple listeners and in multiple locations may be provided. Optionally provided are security features to prevent the unauthorized downloading, uploading, and saving of copies of content, other radio related and content related information, a karaoke mode, integration with a telephone with the radio, or reporting usage information to a collection facility.

Content selection based on simulcast data
11133882 · 2021-09-28 · ·

A computer system receives information snippets from a mobile device. The information snippets are extracted from a simulcast of a data stream of a radio broadcast received on the mobile device. The system identifies content metadata from the information snippets. The content metadata describes one or more features of the radio broadcast. The system selects a radio station from a radio station repository based on attributes of the radio station. One of the selection criteria is that the attributes of the radio station match at least a portion of the content metadata. The system presents a reference to the radio station to the mobile device as a recommendation.
