Abstract

A vehicle may obtain formation associated with audio of a broadcast radio station. Based on the obtained information, a mobile device in proximity to the vehicle may display information associated with the audio of the broadcast radio station.

Claims

1. A vehicle comprising:

a processor; and

a memory coupled with the processor, the memory comprising executable instructions that when executed by the processor cause the processor to effectuate operations comprising;

obtaining information associated with audio of a broadcast radio station, wherein the information is obtained from cache memory of a nearby vehicle; and

based on the obtained information, sending a request to a mobile device in proximity to the vehicle to display information associated with the audio of the broadcast radio station.

2. The vehicle of claim 1, wherein the obtaining the information is triggered based on detecting the mobile device in proximity to the vehicle.

3. The vehicle of claim 1, wherein the information comprises biographical information associated with a person in the audio.

4. The vehicle of claim 1, wherein the information comprises transcript of an interview.

5. The vehicle of claim 1, wherein the information comprises an advertisement.

6. The vehicle of claim 1, wherein the apparatus uses a radio data system.

7. The vehicle of claim 1, the operations further comprising placing an appointment on an electronic calendar associated with the mobile device based on the information.

8. The vehicle of claim 1, wherein the information is in a text format.

9. An apparatus comprising:

a processor; and

a memory coupled with the processor, the memory comprising executable instructions that when executed by the processor cause the processor to effectuate operations comprising;

obtaining information associated with audio of a broadcast radio station;

based on the obtained information, sending a request to a mobile device in proximity to the vehicle to display information associated with the audio of the broadcast radio station, and

placing an appointment on an electronic calendar associated with the mobile device based on the information.

10. The apparatus of claim 9, wherein the obtaining the information is triggered based on detecting the mobile device in proximity to the apparatus.
