System for determining satellite radio listener statistics
First Claim
1. A system for allowing a user to obtain comprehensive satellite radio listener statistics, from a plurality of satellite radios each having a tuner, a receiver and a data connection between said tuner and said receiver, comprising:
- means, connected to said data connection, for detecting a satellite radio data packet on said data connection between said tuner and said receiver;
means for using said satellite radio data packet to create satellite radio listener data which represents one or more interactions by a user with said receiver;
means, connected to each of said plurality of satellite radios, for receiving said satellite radio listener data from said satellite radios;
means for transmitting said satellite radio listener data;
central station means capable of receiving said satellite radio listener data from each of said means for transmitting, and producing statistics based on received said satellite radio listener data; and
interface means, provided by said central station means, for delivering reports to said user containing statistics based on said received said satellite radio listener data.

Abstract
The system for determining satellite radio listener statistics obtains comprehensive satellite radio listener statistics based on parameters such as satellite radio status (e.g., on/off status), satellite radio volume, satellite radio station preset information, current satellite radio station, and Global Positioning Satellite (GPS) system coordinates. The system for determining satellite radio listener statistics includes a satellite radio data device that monitors and stores all events related to the listener'"'"'s interaction with the satellite radio, including automatic detection of the selected radio station through a connection to a satellite radio. The stored data is then transmitted to a central station'"'"'s server for immediate storage, compilation and analysis.

11. A method for generating comprehensive satellite radio listener statistics, comprising:
-
detecting a satellite radio data packet on a data connection between a tuner and a receiver of a satellite radio device;
using said satellite radio data packet to create satellite radio listener data which represents one or more interactions by a user with said receiver;
receiving said satellite radio listener data from said satellite radio data device at a central station;
producing at said central station statistics based on said received satellite radio listener data; and
generating, a report containing said statistics based on said satellite radio listener data. - View Dependent Claims (12, 13, 14, 15, 16, 17, 18, 19, 20, 21)
