Abstract

My innovative idea to create, program and provide manufactured boomboxes/car stereos with capabilities to record, play, pause, rewind, fast forward and save live radio feeds.

Claims

1. A system for controlling live radio feeds with a manufactured vehicle stereo, boombox, alarm clock radio, or portable audio device having memory capacity and components including capabilities comprising to record, play, pause, rewind, fast forward and save live radio feeds, wherein if a channel is interrupted a user can rewind the channel up to thirty minutes, wherein the user can also fast forward the channel or select a live radio button configured to return the user to a current radio feed, wherein the user is provided with an option to pause or record the live radio feed in process if an incoming call is received through Bluetooth®

through the vehicle stereo'"'"'s speakers.

2. The system of claim 1, further comprising programming the manufactured vehicle stereo, boombox, alarm clock radio, or portable audio device to automatically record the live radio feeds on a particular station with or without pre-selected time intervals.

3. The system of claim 1, further comprising options on a menu screen to retrieve the previously recorded live radio feeds located on the vehicle stereo, boombox, alarm clock radio, or portable audio device.

4. The system of claim 1, wherein the recorded live radio feeds are saved in a memory database of the vehicle stereo, boombox, alarm clock radio, or portable audio device for a default of thirty days wherein the user has the option to extend or delete what was previously recorded.

5. The system of claim 1, further comprising a remote control for the vehicle stereo, boombox, alarm clock radio, or portable audio device, wherein the remote control has the same capabilities as the screen of the vehicle stereo, boombox, alarm clock radio, or portable audio device.

6. The system of claim 1, further comprising a remote control and a mobile application, each having a live radio button configured to return the vehicle stereo, boombox, alarm clock radio, or portable audio device to the current radio feed.

7. The system of claim 1, wherein when the user makes an outgoing call through Bluetooth®

through the vehicle stereo'"'"'s speakers, the user is provided with an option to pause or record the live radio feed in process for up to thirty minutes.

8. The system of claim 1, wherein the live radio feeds are AM, FM, or XM-HD radio feeds.

9. The system of claim 1, wherein the live radio feeds are received through a mobile device application or on AM, FM, or XM-HD radio feeds.

10. The system of claim 1, wherein the vehicle stereo wirelessly synchronizes with a home computer, the boombox, the alarm clock radio, or the portable audio device, wherein when the user issues a command to pause or record the live radio feed while in the vehicle and subsequently presses play on the home computer, boombox, alarm clock radio, or portable audio device, the home computer, boombox, alarm clock radio, or portable audio device will tune into a radio station that was playing in the vehicle, and will resume where the user left off.

11. The system of claim 1, further comprising the capability of sounding an alarm on the alarm clock radio to play a song that was previously recorded using an alarm clock radio touch screen or a remote control device.

12. The system of claim 1, further comprising the capabilities for the vehicle stereo, boombox, alarm clock radio and remote control devices to control and/or transform the live radio feeds from the vehicle stereos, boomboxes, and alarm clock radios, including record and live radio buttons.
