Satellite digital audio radio receiver with instant replay capability
First Claim
1. A mobile receiver comprising:
- first means for receiving a satellite digital audio radio service signal and providing an instantaneous output signal in response thereto;
second means for storing at least a portion of said received signal;
third means for providing a replay signal; and
fourth means for selectively outputting said stored portion of said received signal or said instantaneous output signal in response to said replay signal, said first, second, third and fourth means being disposed on a common mobile platform.

Abstract
A receiver adapted to receive a transmitted signal and provide a replay capability in response thereto. The inventive receiver includes the medium (electronic or physical) for storing at least a portion of the received signal. In accordance with present teachings, the inventive receiver selectively outputs either a stored selection or the receive signal in response to user input (i.e. a replay signal). In the illustrative embodiment, the receiver is a satellite digital audio radio service receiver having a radio frequency tuner and audio decoder. The system controller is a microprocessor that causes the system to store each selection as it is received. In the best mode, this is facilitated by the transmission and receipt of a start of selection signal and an end of selection signal. The replay signal is provided via a user interface. Software running on a microprocessor includes code for detecting the presence of the instant replay signal. On detection of the replay signal, the software causes the system to output the stored selection.
