Using radio frequency tuning to control a portable audio device
First Claim
1. A computer implemented method for controlling a portable audio device using radio frequency tuning, the computer implemented method comprising:
- transmitting, by a radio signal transmitter device communicatively coupled to the portable audio device, an audio signal of an audio file on a first radio frequency channel, a forward control signal on a second radio frequency channel, and a backward control signal on a third radio frequency channel to a radio signal receiver device;
determining whether an audio output of the forward control signal is received by the portable audio device using an audio receiver device; and
responsive to a determination that the portable audio device did receive the audio output of the forward control signal using the audio receiver device, playing, by the portable audio device, a next audio file in a play list.

Abstract
A method for controlling a portable audio device using radio frequency tuning is provided. A radio signal transmitter device communicatively coupled to the portable audio device transmits an audio signal of an audio file on a first radio frequency channel, a forward control signal on a second radio frequency channel, and a backward control signal on a third radio frequency channel to a radio signal receiver device. The portable audio device determines whether an audio output of the forward control signal is received by an audio receiver device. In response to determining that the portable audio device did receive the audio output of the forward control signal using the audio receiver device, the portable audio device plays a next audio file in a play list.

16. A data processing system for controlling a portable audio device using radio frequency tuning, the data processing system comprising:
-
a bus system; a storage device connected to the bus system, wherein the storage device includes a set of instructions; and a processing unit connected to the bus system, wherein the processing unit executes the set of instructions to transmit an audio signal of an audio file on a first radio frequency channel, a forward control signal on a second radio frequency channel, and a backward control signal on a third radio frequency channel to a radio signal receiver device;
determine whether an audio output of the forward control signal is received by an audio receiver device; and
play a next audio file in a play list in response to a determination that the audio receiver device did receive the audio output of the forward control signal.
