Abstract

The invention relates to a method for configuring a radio receiver, in which at least one parameter is received by a first receiving means via a first connection of a first network, at least one configuration parameter is generated by evaluating the parameter, and a second connection to a second network is established by a second receiving means of the radio receiver based on the configuration parameter. The invention further relates to said radio receiver as well as a first transmitter of the first network.

Claims

1. A method for configuring a radio receiver, comprising:

receiving at least one parameter by a first receiving device of the radio receiver via a first connection of a first network;

generating at least one configuration parameter by evaluating the parameter; and

establishing a second connection to a second network by a second receiving device of the radio receiver based on the configuration parameter.

2. The method as claimed in claim 1, wherein

the parameters is requested by the radio receiver using a request message.

3. The method as claimed in claim 2, wherein

at least one current configuration parameter of the radio receiver is added to the request message.

4. The method as claimed in claim 2, wherein

the first network is provided with the request message when a reception quality of the second network is undershot.

5. The method as claimed in claim 1, wherein

the parameter is delivered to the radio receiver without a request from the radio receiver.

6. The method as claimed in, claim 1, wherein

the configuration parameter is generated by evaluating the parameters based on a database in the radio receiver.

7. The method as claimed in, claim 1, further comprising:

determining an indication of the position of the radio receiver using either at least one reception parameter of the first network or a positioning device, and

generating at least one of the configuration parameters by evaluating either the indication of position based on the database or by evaluating the parameter which is requisitioned using a request message which comprises the indication of position.

8. The method as claimed in claim 1, wherein

the first networks is used to represent a unidirectional or bidirectional network, the bidirectional network comprising one of a UMTS, GSM, WLAN or WIMAX standard.

9. The method as claimed in claim 1, wherein

the second network is used to represent a radio network, where the radio network comprises one of a DVB-H, DVB-T, DAB or DMB standard.

10. The method as claimed in claim 9, wherein

when using the second network according to DVB-T, at least one of the configuration parameters and/or parameters comprises at least one of the following items of information:

reception frequency,

DVB network ID.

DVB original network ID,

DVB transport stream ID,

DVB service ID.

11. The method as claimed in claim 9, wherein

when using the second network according to DVB-H, at least one of the configuration parameters and/or parameters comprises at least one of the following items of information:

reception frequency.

DVB network ID (optional).

DVB original network ID.

DVB transport stream ID.

IP platform ID,

ID of the IPDC electronic service guide provider,

IPDC service ID.

12. The method as claimed in claim 1, wherein

the parameter is generated based on a position of the radio receiver inside the first network.

13. A radio receivers, comprising:

a first receiving device for receiving at least one parameter via a first connection of a first network;

an evaluation device for generating at least one configuration parameter by evaluating the at least one parameters;

a second receiving device for establishing a second connection to a second network based on the at least one configuration parameter.

14. The radio receivers as claimed in claim 13, wherein,

the radio receiver performs the following:

receiving at least one parameter by a first receiving device of the radio receiver via a first connection of a first network;

generating at least one configuration parameter by evaluating the parameter; and

establishing a second connection to a second network by a second receiving device of the radio receiver based on the configuration parameter.

15. A first transmitter for configuring a radio receiver, comprising:

a third transmitting device for transmitting at least one parameters to a first receiving device of the radio receiver via a first connections of a first network, the radio receiver generating at least one configuration parameter after receiving the parameter by evaluating the at least one parameters, and a second connection to a second network being established by a second receiving device of the radio receiver based on the at least one configuration parameter.

16. The first transmitters as claimed in claim 15, wherein the first transmitter with a control device generates at least one of the parameters based on position of the radio receiver or based on a current configuration parameter of the radio receiver.
