Audio playback apparatus, control and usage method for audio playback apparatus, and mobile phone terminal with storage device
First Claim
1. An electronic device comprising:
- a first communication interface configured to receive a broadcast signal;
a second communication interface configured to receive a signal from a mobile terminal apparatus, a range of the second communication interface being less than a range of the first communication interface; and
circuitry configured to switch an audio source for output between the broadcast signal and the signal received from the mobile terminal apparatus based on a control signal received from the mobile terminal apparatus via the second communication interface, whereinthe second communication interface is configured to provide said mobile terminal apparatus metadata associated with programming content contained in the broadcast signal received by the first communication interface to be displayed on said mobile terminal apparatus.

Abstract
An audio playback apparatus includes an integrated circuit in which an FM reception circuit and a near field wireless communication circuit are integrated and packaged into one chip, a switch unit configured to switch between output of an audio signal supplied from the FM reception circuit and output of an audio signal supplied from the near field wireless communication circuit, and a connection terminal configured to output an audio signal selected using the switch unit and supply an FM broadcast signal received through a cable of an earphone connected to the connection terminal to the FM reception circuit. An associated method performed by the audio playback apparatus cooperates with the mobile terminal apparatus and associated method to provide a functional system.

16. A method performed by an electronic device, the method comprising:
-
receiving, via a first communication interface, a broadcast signal; receiving, via a second communication interface having a range smaller than a range of the first communication interface, a signal from a mobile terminal apparatus; switching, by circuitry, an audio source for output between the broadcast signal and the signal received from the mobile terminal apparatus based on a control signal received from the mobile terminal apparatus via the second communication interface; and providing, via the second communication interface, said mobile terminal apparatus metadata associated with programming content contained in the broadcast signal received by the first communication interface to be displayed on said mobile terminal apparatus.

17. A non-transitory computer-readable medium including computer-program instructions, which when executed by an electronic device having a first communication interface and a second communication interface having a range smaller than a range of the first communication interface, cause the electronic device to:
-
switch an audio source for output between a broadcast signal received via the first communication interface and a signal received from a mobile terminal apparatus via the second communication interface based on a control signal received from the mobile terminal apparatus via the second communication interface; provide, via the second communication interface, said mobile terminal apparatus metadata associated with programming content contained in the broadcast signal received by the first communication interface to be displayed on said mobile terminal apparatus.
