Digital content download associated with corresponding radio broadcast items
First Claim
1. A computer program application stored in non-transitory machine-readable media for execution on a wireless telecommunication-enabled device, the application program including:
- a telecommunications module for effecting wireless communications via a wireless telecommunication network;
a radio broadcast capture application module configured to receive a user command via an actuator configured for triggering the radio broadcast capture application module to capture and save data corresponding to a radio station, the captured data to identify the radio station and an item of interest promoted during a radio broadcast, wherein the user command includes an actuator identifier indicating a user selection of a request for supplemental content, the supplemental content associated with the item of interest;
wherein the radio broadcast capture module is further configured to generate the request for supplemental content, the request including the captured data, a device identifier and an actuator identifier; and
a module for transmitting the request to a remote server associated with the radio station.

Abstract
A portable device is used to capture, in real time, data sufficient to identify an item, such as a product or service promoted, or a music track played, on a broadcast medium such as radio or television. The capture device can be a standalone implementation, or an application program executable on a personal communication device such as a cell phone or Blackberry. The capture device communicates the captured data to a remote server via a selected wired or wireless channel, or the internet, and the server provides services to support the user in responding to the radio or television broadcast item that corresponds to the captured data. The server on demand downloads to the user additional digital content associated with the identified radio broadcast item.
