Two channel communication system using RDS datastream broadcasting
First Claim
1. A digital radio terminal, comprising:
- a radio receiver integrated in said digital radio terminal, said radio receiver configured to receive a radio broadcast; and
a processor to execute computer readable instructions stored in a memory, said computer readable instructions performing the steps of;
capturing a digital data stream transmitted as part of the radio broadcast, wherein a service link is embedded within said digital data stream;
storing said captured digital data stream in a memory buffer; and
displaying information relating to said captured data stream on a display of said digital radio terminal;
wherein said service link includes information for providing said digital radio terminal means to interact with a mobile service platform corresponding to said service link.

Abstract
Aspects of the invention comprise a digital mobile terminal system for accessing mobile internet services including a VHF/AM/FM radio receiver and a subsystem that handles interfaces and interactions between the digital mobile terminal and a radio network via a digital (e.g., RDS) data stream, interfaces and interactions between the digital mobile terminal and a mobile internet services platform, and interfaces and interactions between the digital mobile terminal and a user seeking to access and interact with mobile internet services. The present invention also comprises a radio broadcasting server platform for transmitting an RDS data stream including a subsystem that handles interfaces and interaction between the radio broadcasting server platform and a radio network via the digital (e.g., RDS) data stream and interfaces and interactions between the radio broadcasting server platform and a mobile internet services platform.

8. One or more computer readable media storing computer executable instructions for performing a method for receiving service link data via a digital data stream, said method comprising steps of:
-
capturing the digital data stream transmitted as part of a radio broadcast, detecting a service link embedded within said digital data stream;
storing said service link in a memory buffer; and
displaying information relating to said service link on a display of a digital radio terminal performing said method, wherein said service link includes information for providing said digital radio terminal sufficient information to initiate contact with a mobile service platform corresponding to said service link. - View Dependent Claims (9, 10, 11, 12, 13, 14)

15. A method for establishing a connection between a mobile terminal and a mobile service platform, said method comprising steps of:
-
capturing a digital data stream transmitted as part of a radio broadcast, detecting a service link embedded within said digital data stream;
storing said service link in a memory buffer of the mobile terminal; and
displaying information relating to said service link on a display of the mobile terminal performing said method, wherein said service link includes information for providing said mobile terminal sufficient information to initiate contact with a mobile service platform corresponding to said service link. - View Dependent Claims (16, 17, 18, 19, 20, 21)

22. A mobile terminal, comprising:
-
a processor controlling overall operation of the mobile terminal;
a radio receiver integrated configured to receive a radio broadcast, said radio broadcast including an audio portion and a Radio Data Stream (RDS) portion, said RDS portion embedding text data corresponding to a contemporarily transmitted audio portion of the radio broadcast; and
memory storing computer readable instructions that, when executed by the processor, cause the mobile terminal to perform a method comprising steps of;
storing in a first memory buffer a first text value received as part of the RDS portion; and
responsive to a user request, retrieving the first text value from the first memory buffer and displaying the first text value on a display of said mobile terminal, wherein said first text value provides said mobile terminal sufficient information to initiate interaction with a mobile service platform corresponding to said first text value. - View Dependent Claims (23, 24, 25, 26, 27, 28)
