Systems and methods for providing product information over a carrier wave
First Claim
1. A method of providing customer relationship management in a radio system, the method comprising:
- tuning the radio system to a frequency band containing a locally-broadcast terrestrial radio signal;
receiving the locally-broadcast terrestrial radio signal comprising a main signal component and a side data component; and
,in response to receiving the locally-broadcast terrestrial radio signal;
determining a processing criterion for processing the side data component;
in accordance with a determination that the processing criterion is satisfied;
processing the side data component while the processing criterion is satisfied; and
subsequently outputting a message corresponding to the side data component to an output device; and
,in accordance with a determination that the processing criterion is not satisfied;
foregoing processing of the side data component while the processing criterion is not satisfied; and
waiting until the processing criterion is satisfied for the side data component in the frequency band.

Abstract
A method is provided that comprises tuning a radio system to a frequency band that contains a locally-broadcast terrestrial radio signal. The locally-broadcast terrestrial radio signal comprising a main signal component and a side data component is thereby received. In response to receiving the locally-broadcast terrestrial radio signal a determination is made as to a permissible time for processing the side data component using a time slot schedule. The side data component is processed at the permissible time. A message corresponding to the side data component is outputted to an output device. In some instances, the side data component includes the message. In other instances, the method further includes searching a message lookup list using a code included in the side data component. When a stored code is found that matches the code, the message corresponding to the matching stored code is outputted.

17. A non-transitory computer readable storage medium storing one or more programs, the one or more programs comprising instructions, which when executed by a radio system with one or more processors, cause the radio system to:
-
tune the radio system to a frequency band containing a locally-broadcast terrestrial radio signal; receive the locally-broadcast terrestrial radio signal comprising a main signal component and a side data component; in response to receiving the locally-broadcast terrestrial radio signal; determine a processing criterion for processing the side data component; in accordance with a determination that the processing criterion is satisfied; process the side data component while the processing criterion is satisfied; and subsequently output a message corresponding to the side data component to an output device; and
,in accordance with a determination that the processing criterion is not satisfied; forego processing of the side data component while the processing criterion is not satisfied; and wait until the processing criterion is satisfied for the side data component in the frequency band. - View Dependent Claims (18, 19, 20, 21, 26, 27)
