1. A method of providing alerts for playback of received radio communications, the method comprising:
- maintaining, by a radio device for playing back received audio streams to a user, a received audio stream playback alert keyword database of one or more first keywords for matching against second keywords detected in a particular received audio stream for use in identifying that the particular received audio stream should be played back to the user of the radio device accompanying an audio alert when a match is found;
detecting, by the radio device, a change in contextual parameters associated with the radio device and responsive to detecting the change in contextual parameters associated with the radio device, automatically updating the received audio stream playback alert keyword database based on the detected change in contextual parameters associated with the radio device to include one of an additional first keyword not previously included in the one or more first keywords and a modified first keyword of the one or more first keywords;
subsequently receiving, at the radio device via radio communications, a first particular received audio stream for playback to the user;
detecting, by the radio device, a match between a particular second keyword in the first particular received audio stream and one of the additional first keyword in the received audio stream playback alert database and the modified first keyword in the received audio stream playback alert keyword database; and
one of;
prior to subsequent playback of the first particular received audio stream to the user, causing, by the radio device, an alert to be provided for the first particular received audio stream and subsequently playing back, by the radio device, the first particular received audio stream to the user; and
during playback, by the radio device, of the first particular received audio stream to the user, causing, by the radio device, an alert to be provided for the first particular received audio stream.

Abstract
A method and system for providing alerts for radio communications are provided. One or more keywords are generated based on one or more contextual parameters associated with a radio device. An audio stream is received at the radio device from a radio transmitter. One or more of the one or more keywords are detected in the audio stream, and an alert for the audio stream is provided to a user of the radio device.

10. A system for providing alerts for playback of received radio communications, the system comprising:
-
a radio receiver device to receive audio streams and playback the received audio stream to a user of the radio receiver device; a processor, in the radio receiver device; and a memory coupled to the processor, the memory comprising instruction code that, when executed by the processor, performs a set of functions comprising; maintaining a received audio stream playback alert keyword database of one or more first keywords for matching against second keywords detected in a particular received audio stream for use in identifying that the particular received audio stream should be played back to the user of the radio receiver device accompanying an audio alert when a match is found; detecting a change in contextual parameters associated with the radio receiver device and responsive to detecting the change in contextual parameters associated with the radio receiver device, automatically updating the received audio stream playback alert keyword database based on the detected change in contextual parameters associated with the radio receiver device to include one of an additional first keyword not previously included in the one or more first keywords and a modified first keyword of the one or more first keywords; subsequently receiving a first particular received audio stream for playback to the user; detecting a match between a particular second keyword in the first particular received audio stream and one of the additional first keyword in the received audio stream playback alert keyword database and the modified first keyword in the received audio stream playback alert keyword database; and one of; causing an alert to be provided for the first particular received audio stream at the radio receiver device to a user of the radio receiver device, prior to subsequent playback of the first particular received audio stream at the radio receiver device to a user of the radio receiver device; and causing an alert to be provided for the first particular received audio stream at the radio receiver device to a user of the radio receiver device during playback of the first particular received audio stream at the radio receiver device to a user of the radio receiver device. - View Dependent Claims (11, 12, 13, 14, 15, 16)
