Payment system and method for data broadcasted from a remote location to vehicles
First Claim
1. A payment system for chargeable data comprising:
- a server providing a Web site and creating an encryption code, said Web site allowing a payment of a limited purchase amount (LPA) and an entry of a first receiver associated with said LPA, said encryption code specifying said LPA at the time of said payment and said first receiver ID;
a remote location broadcasting chargeable data, pricing data and title data; and
a second receiver having a storage device and an input device, said second receiver receiving said broadcasted chargeable data, said pricing data and said title data and storing said chargeable data said pricing data and said into said second receiver, said second receiver extracting said LPA and said first receiver ID from said entered encryption code;
wherein said second receiver is configured to determine whether said pricing data is within extracted LPA, determine whether said extracted first receiver ID matches a second receiver ID, and, based on said determination, use said chargeable data.

Abstract
The present invention is directed to a payment system and method for chargeable data that is broadcasted from a remote location. The payment system and method includes a Web site, the remote location (or a broadcasting station), and an end receiver. The Web site is configured to allow for the payment of a limited purchase amount (LPA) and to create and/or provide an encryption code. The LPA specifies an amount of chargeable data that has been purchased. The encryption code specifies the LPA at the time of payment and an authorized receiver associated with the LPA. The end receiver receives and stores the chargeable data broadcasted from the remote location. The end receiver includes an input unit for inputting the encryption code into the end receiver, and it extracts the information specifying the LPA and the authorized receiver from the inputted encryption code. The end receiver then uses an amount of the chargeable data (e.g., a song) from its storage device within the LPA if the extracted information specifying the authorized receiver matches the end receiver.

13. A payment system for chargeable data comprising:
-
a server providing a Web site and creating an encryption code, said Web site allowing a payment of a limited purchase amount (LPA) and an entry of information specifying a first vehicle associated with said LPA, said encryption code specifying said LPA at the time of said payment and said information specifying said first vehicle; a remote location broadcasting chargeable data; and an end receiver on board a second vehicle, said end receiver having a storage device and an input device, said end receiver receiving said broadcasted chargeable data and storing said chargeable data in said storage device, said input device inputting said encryption code into said end receiver, said end receiver extracting said LPA and said information specifying said first vehicle from said inputted encryption code; wherein said end receiver is configured to determine whether said pricing data is within said LPA, determine whether said information specifying said first vehicle matches information specifying said second vehicle, and, based on said determinations, use said chargeable data. - View Dependent Claims (14, 15, 16, 17, 18, 19, 20)
