BROADCAST RESPONSE SYSTEM
First Claim
1. A dynamic data delivery system for providing enhanced radio content to one or more receiving devices, said system comprising:
- a hub adapted to receive at least one non-radio input and an input indicating a selection of one or more receiving devices, to generate the enhanced radio content by dynamic manipulation of the non-radio input into one or more formats for radio broadcast based on broadcast type accessible by the selected receiving devices, and to route the enhanced radio content through one or more of a plurality of possible distribution channels based on broadcast type accessible by the selected receiving devices; and
an output interface of each distribution channel having a respective broadcast type, the output interface communicatively connecting the hub to receiving devices of the respective broadcast type and adapted to broadcast the enhanced radio content to the selected receiving devices of the respective broadcast type.

Abstract
A broadcast response system provides, e.g., a radio broadcast listener with the ability to obtain media content such as music or speech while listening to the radio. The user can respond to items in the radio broadcast such as advertisements, fund raising drives, or interactive listener polls during the broadcast. Data such as song title and artist, author or publisher and the IP address for the location where the digital version of the content is stored, can be transmitted using, e.g., the RBDS/RDS data stream. A reference number representing song title and artist, author or publisher and the IP address for the location where the digital version of the content is stored can also be employed for ease of implementation. This reference number can reside in a lookup table to be accessed by broadcast response server.
