Mobile communication devices with an analog frequency modulation (FM) receiver and recording capability
First Claim
1. A computer-implemented method of recording a radio broadcast received in an analog format at a mobile communication device, the method comprising:
- receiving analog radio broadcast signals and analog radio data system information signals that correspond to the analog radio broadcast signals; and
in response to a user selecting a record operation;
extracting radio data system information from the analog radio data system information signals;
creating a file name from the radio data system information;
storing radio content, from the analog radio broadcast signals, that corresponds to the radio data system information; and
sharing at least part of the radio data system information with a second communication device.

Abstract
Methods and devices are provided for recording radio broadcasts received in an analog format at a mobile communication device. The mobile communication device receives analog radio broadcast signals and analog radio data system information signals corresponding to the analog radio broadcast signals. A radio application extracts radio data system information in response to users selecting a record operation, creates a file name from the extracted radio data system information, and stores radio content corresponding to the extracted radio data system information in response to the user selecting the record operation. The radio application further monitors the radio data system information for pre-defined criteria and sends alerts to the user upon detecting the pre-defined criteria. In response to selecting the record operation, the radio application further enables users to rewind the stored radio content by a pre-determined amount and append buffered radio content to a beginning of the stored radio content.
