System and method for sharing preset radio stations using a wireless network
First Claim
1. A vehicle, comprising:
- a wireless transceiver to transmit a request for radio presets to a first plurality of vehicles within a range of the vehicle;
a processor to generate a list of local radio stations based on radio presets information received by the wireless transceiver;
an audio system to play audio received from a selected one of the local radio stations; and
radio receiver communicatively coupled to the processor and the audio system to;
wirelessly receive audio broadcast by the selected local radio station; and
detect a low signal strength for at least one of the local radio stations in response to the vehicle traveling out of a broadcast range of the at least one local radio station, wherein in response to detecting the low signal strength, the wireless transceiver is to send a new request for radio presets information to a second plurality of vehicles within the range of the vehicle.

Abstract
Embodiments provide a vehicle comprising a wireless transceiver for transmitting a request for radio presets to a plurality of vehicles within a predetermined proximity of the vehicle; a processor for generating a list of local radio stations based on radio presets information received by the wireless transceiver and a user preference for prioritizing the stations; and an audio system for playing audio received from a selected one of the local radio stations. Embodiments also include a method in a vehicle comprising sending, via a wireless transceiver, a request for radio presets to a plurality of vehicles within a predetermined proximity of the vehicle; generating, using a processor, a list of local radio stations based on radio presets information received by the wireless transceiver and a user preference for prioritizing the stations; and playing, via an audio system, audio received from a selected one of the local radio stations.
