`
`TECHNICAL FIELD OF THE INVENTIONDISCLOSURE
`
`The present disclosure relates in general to the field of wireless communication, and
`more particularlyto digitally stored content and, more specifically, to a content
`delivery system and method for communicating selected information to an electronic
`device.
`
`BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION
`
`
`
`
`
`
`
`
`
`
`
`The first commercial radio stations in the United States began operation around
`1920. Today, there may be as many as 12,000 radio stations in the United States
`programming in several distinct formats. When broadcasting their respective
`signals, these radio stations often use an analog signal, which may be modulated
`based on frequency or amplitude. Frequency modulated (FM) radio appears to
`be the dominant entertainment medium while amplitude modulated (AM) radio
`seems to be a popular outlet for news and information.
`
`
`Unfortunately, analog radio may be unable to provide the sound quality and
`consistency that radio listeners desire. As such, several broadcasting related
`companies have begun to consider a movement to digital radio. Unlike analog radio
`reception, digital radio reception may be able to provide compact disk (CD) quality
`sound while remaining virtually immune to interference. Being immune to
`interference may result in reducing static growls or ‘“multipath’” echoes, echoes
`caused by signal reflections off buildings or topographical features.
`
`Some countries, like Canada and many European countries, may choose to have
`digital radio operate in a single digital radio band such as the L-band between
`1452–-1492 megahertz (MHz). This band would allow the reception of both
`terrestrially and satellite-originated signals. By comparison, FM radio typically
`operates between 88 and 108 MHz while AM radio typically operates between
`0.525 and 1.705 MHz. Neither of these bands allows for easy transmission via
`satellite.

`

`
`
`Canada proposed using the L-Band for digital radio as early as 1992. Several
`countries throughout the world have since agreed to use the L-Band for digital
`radio with one notable exception. It appears the United States has chosen not to
`operate its digital radio within the L-Band. In the United States, the L-Band may
`already be committed for military uses. Apparently, the United States plans to
`adopt a system called in-band on-channel, or IBOC, which fits within the AM and
`FM frequencies.
`
`IBOC technology may offer some advantages over L-Band transmissions. For
`example, there may be no need for new spectrum allocations. There may be
`backward and forward compatibility with existing AM and FM systems on both the
`transmitter and receiver sides, and there may be a low-investment upgrade to
`digital systems. Unfortunately, a workable IBOC solution is yet to be seen though
`technology may someday make IBOC digital radio commercially possible.
`
`Even if an IBOC solution becomes commercially available in the United States,
`IBOC digital radio may suffer from several shortcomings. For example, there may
`global standardization problems. Though the United States favors IBOC, the
`European and Canadian communities seem to favor L-Band making the
`establishment of a global standard difficult.
`

`
`DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION
`
`The conceptual groundwork for the present invention includes wirelessly
`communicating selective information to an electronic device. According to one
`aspect, a user may interact with the Internet to select information, such as audio
`information, and wirelessly communicate the selected information to an electronic
`device. The electronic device receives the information via a wireless
`communications network and processes the information accordingly. In a
`particularized form, a user may select information from an Internet website
`operable to allow selectivity of audio information such aas songs, on-line radio
`stations, on-line broadcasts, streaming audio, or other selectable information.
`Upon selecting the audio information, information or data associated with the
`selected audio information is wirelessly communicated to an electronic device.
`The electronic device may then be used to process the selected audio
`information. In this manner, a user may receive selective audio information via a
`

`
`

`
`
`
`
`
`
`
`
`
`wireless electronic device.
`
`In one form, the electronic device may be operable to communicate with an
`individual's automobile audio system. A user may select audio information
`utilizing a personal computer with access to a website operable to display
`selectable audio information. The selected audio information may then be
`wirelessly communicated to the electronic device associated with an
`automobile's audio system. Therefore, upon receiving the selected audio
`information, a user may access and play the received audio information utilizing
`the electronic device in association with the automobilesautomobile's audio
`system.
`
`The present invention is not limited to communicating only audio information.
`One skilled in the art can appreciate that other types of information, such as
`video, textual, etc. may be communicated utilizing the systems and methods
`disclosed herein without departing from the spirit and scope of the present
`invention. Additionally, it will be understood that information may be formatted
`in a plurality of ways at different phases of communication without losingloosing
`the underlying content of the selected information. For example, an audio file
`may be formatted, segmented, compressed, modified, etc. for the purpose of
`providing or communicating the audio invention. Therefore, the term ‘“audio
`information’” or ‘“information’” is used in a general sense to relate to audio
`information in all phases of communication.
`
`FIG. 1 depicts a general system for wirelessly communicating selective
`information to an electronic device in accordance with one aspect of the present
`invention. The system, illustrated generally at 100, includes a digital engine 101
`coupled to a communications engine 102. Communications engine 102 is
`remotely coupled to an electronic device 103. Digital engine 101 may be directly
`or indirectly coupled to storage device 105 operable to store information. Digital
`engine 101 maintains information or data associated with selected information in a
`digital format. The information may be stored within storage device 105 or other
`storage devices operable to maintain data or information associated with the
`selected information.
`
`Communications engine 102 is communicatively coupled to digital engine 101 and
`operable to wirelessly communicate the selected information to electronic device
`103. During operation, audio information may be selected by a user utilizing a
`personal computer or other devices operable to communicate with an information
`network. Digital engine 102101 is operable to maintain information associated with
`the selected audio information. For example, the information could be several
`songs or titles configured as an audio file and formatted in a digital format such as
`an MP3 file, wave file, etc. The maintained information may also be a reference to
`a network location where an audio file may be stored, a network location where a
`network broadcast of audio information may be located, etc. or other network
`locations having information associated with the selected audio information.

`
`
`
`
`
`
`
`
`
`Therefore, digital engine 101 may maintain a plurality of different types of
`information or data associated with the selected audio information.
`
`System 100, utilizing communication engine 102, may wirelessly communicate
`data or information associated with the selected audio information to electronic
`device 103 thereby providing wireless communication of selected information to
`an electronic device operable to receive wireless communications. In one
`embodiment, digital engine 101 may be used in association with an Internet
`website configured to provide access to selectable information. The Internet
`website operably associated with digital engine 101 allows a user to select
`information to be wirelessly communicated to electronic device 103101 utilizing a
`network environment. The Internet website may include several different types of
`information related to audio information.
`
`FIG. 4, described in greater detail below, illustrates one embodiment of providing
`an Internet website for displaying selectable audio information. For example, the
`Internet website may include music and/or artist search engines, playlists, top 10
`charts, artists by genre, and other information associated with audio information.
`A user may select information associated with the audio information and digital
`engine 101 can maintain the information or data associated with the selected
`information in a digital format. Communications engine 102 coupled to digital
`engine 101 may wirelessly communicate data associated with the selected audio
`information to electronic device 103. Therefore, a user may access and select
`audio information via an Internet website and wirelessly communicate the data to
`an electronic device. As such, system 100 advantageously allows for wireless
`communication of selected audio information to electronic devices that may be
`remotely located from a conventional terrestrial communication network.
`
`Electronic device 103105 may be configured in a plurality of ways for receiving
`wireless communication of selected audio information. In one embodiment,
`electronic device 103105 may be operable as a component configured to receive
`a cellular signal comprising the selected information communicated by the
`communication engine. For example, a device having a cellular modem may be
`operable to receive the information at specified intervals. Upon receiving the
`information the electronic device may process the received information. Electronic
`devices are described in more detail below and may include a network radio, a
`modular device, an audio system, a personal digital assistant (PDA), a cellular
`phone, or other electronic devices operable to receive information wirelessly
`communicated by communication engine 102.
`
`Communications engine 102 may be operable to wirelessly communicate
`selected information to electronic device 103 in a plurality of ways. The present
`invention advantageously allows for several different embodiments of wirelessly
`communicating selected audio information to electronic device 103 and is not
`limited to any specific configuration described below. Several different types or
`combinations of wireless communication may be realized by the present
`

`
`invention.
`Communications engine 102 may be operable to wirelessly communicate the
`selected information from aan information network, such as the Internet, to an
`electronic device operable to receive wireless communications. In one
`embodiment, communications engine 102 may comprise a conduit to interface
`information with a wireless communication network. The conduit may configure
`the information located within the information network into a format operable to be
`transmitted via wireless communication.
`
`For example, a wireless device may be operable to receive packets of information
`having a specific size and in a specific format. In such an embodiment,
`communications engine 102 could format the information into a desirable format
`for wirelessly communicating the information to electronic device 103. Several
`types of wireless communication may be used by communications engine 102 to
`communicate the selected information to an electronic device. Communications
`networks such as GSM, Digital Satellite communication, SB, Radio bands, DRC,
`SuperDRC or other systems or types of transmission such as TDMA, CDMA,
`spread spectrum, etc. or frequencies such as between about 1.7 GHz and 2.0
`GHz may be realized by the present invention for communicating information or
`data representing the selected audio information to electronic device 103.
`
`In one embodiment, the selective information may be communicated using a
`digital broadcast signal. Digital broadcast includes providing information via a
`signal such as AM, FM, and the like. Digital information may be included or
`encoded as a sub-carrier within the broadcast signal and received by electronic
`device 103. A digital sub-carrier may include a selective bandwidth of frequencies
`for a specific radio station (i.e., 6 MHz for FM). The selective information may be
`wirelessly communicated to electronic device 103 utilizing a communication
`engine 102 operable to communicate the selective information via a digital FM
`signal. In this manner, selective information may be communicated within digital
`FM sub-carriers to an electronic device operable to receive the information. For
`example, a user may subscribe to communicate the information via an FM sub-
`carrier and receive the selective data through wireless communication via a
`specified FM sub-carrier.
`
`In one embodiment, the selected information may be formatted and transmitted to
`achieve a desirable transmission rate. For example, conventional systems may
`transmit information at a speed of 10 kilobits per second. Therefore, for 1
`megabyte of information to be communicated to an electronic device, a
`transmission time of approximately 800 seconds may be required. The present
`invention may allow for a relative increase in transmission speed by removing the
`requirement that information be communicated asynchronously to an electronic
`device. For example, conventional wireless communication utilizeutilizes a
`specified frequency to communicate information in two directions (i.e., cellular
`phones). As such, information is communicated across a channel in an
`asynchronous manner to provide a continuous audio signal to the recipient.

`
`

`
`
`
`
`
`
`
`
`
`
`
`The present invention advantageously allows for signals to be transmitted to an
`electronic device in a less than asynchronous manner. For example, if a user
`selected a song to be wirelessly communicated to an electronic device, system
`100 could communicate the information in a less than asynchronous manner
`allowing the selected information to be transmitted efficiently thereby decreasing
`the overall download time for the selected audio information. In one embodiment,
`the selected information may be compressed and transmitted across the same
`frequency but at different phases thereby allowing plural signals having different
`phases to be wirelessly communicated to an electronic device.
`Therefore, the electronic device may be operable to receive multiple phased
`signals and process the selective information accordingly.
`
`In one embodiment, the information may be wirelessly communicated at a
`relatively slow transmission rate. For example, a user may schedule when the
`selected audio information may be used by electronic device 103. The user may
`select several different audio tracks or songs to be transmitted to an electronic
`device associated with the user's vehicle such that the user can listen to the user
`selected audio information during the drive home at the end of a work
`dayworkday. Therefore, it may be desirable to utilize a slower transfer speed due
`to the extended amount of time available prior to actual use of the selected audio
`information. In this manner, communications networks having less or slower
`transfer rates may be used to wirelessly communicate the selected audio
`information to the electronic device.
`
`In another embodiment, high -speed wireless communication networks may be
`used to communicate the selected audio information. For example, a user may
`want to listen to an Internet broadcast of an Internet radio station. Therefore, high-
`speed communication may be required to wirelessly communicate or stream the
`selected audio information to an electronic device. In another embodiment, a
`hybrid of wireless communication rates may be deployed depending on the
`requirements of the selected audio information and/or the electronic device. For
`example, the selected audio information may first be transmitted to the electronic
`device via high -speed communication until enough information has been
`wirelessly communicated and buffered into a memory device operably associated
`with the electronic device. Upon communicatingcommunication of a certain
`percentage of the selected audio information, slower communication speeds may
`then be used to communicate additional selected audio information.
`
`Therefore, system 100 may be configured in a plurality of ways to communicate
`selected information to electronic device
`103. Digital engine 101 may be used to maintain data or information
`associated with the selected information and communication engine 102,
`to digital engine 101, may wirelessly
`communicatively coupled
`communicate selected information to electronic device 103.

`
`
`FIG. 2 illustrates a block diagram of a method of wirelessly communicating
`selected information to an electronic device. The method may be used in
`association with the system illustrated in FIG. 1 or other systems operable to
`utilize the method of FIG. 2.
`
`The method begins generally at step 200. At step 201201, selectable audio
`information may be accessed utilizing a network communications device. For
`example, selectable audio information may be displayed at an Internet website
`accessible by a personal computer. In another embodiment, the selectable
`information may be accessed utilizing a wireless communications device such
`as, a cellular phone, a PDA device, or other devices operable to provide access
`to the selectable audio information.
`
`Upon accessing the selectable information, the method proceeds to step 202
`where a user can identify or select audio information to be wirelessly
`communicated to an electronic device. For example, a user may select an entire
`album to be wirelessly communicated to a PDA device.
`
`Upon the user selecting the audio information, the method proceeds to step
`203 where the method maintains information associated with the selected
`information. In one embodiment, the information may be an audio file, such as
`a wave file, and MP3 file, etc. representative of the selected audio information.
`In another embodiment, a network location that comprises a file representing
`the selected information may be maintained. Another example may include a
`network location of a network broadcast of audio information. Therefore, the
`method at step 203 may maintain several different types of information
`associated with the selected audio information. Upon maintaining information or
`data associated with the selected information, the method proceeds to step 204
`where the method wirelessly communicates information associated with the
`selected information to an electronic device. For example, if an audio file
`associated with the selected audio information was maintained, the method
`would communicate the audio file to the electronic device. In another
`embodiment, a link or network address broadcasting the selected audio
`information may be accessed and, at step 204, wirelessly communicated to an
`electronic device. In another embodiment, a combination of different types of
`audio information may be wirelessly communicated to an electronic device.
`Upon transmitting the selected audio information, the method proceeds to step
`205 where the method ends.
`
`Selected audio information may be communicated in a plurality of ways as
`described above including communicating via a cellular communications network
`to an electronic device operable to receive cellularly -communicated signals. For
`example, the information may be selected from a website operable to display
`selectable information. Upon selecting the audio information, a data file
`representing the selected audio information may be wirelessly communicated to
`an electronic device thereby allowing a user to select audio information via the

`
`
`
`
`Internet and wirelessly communicate the information to an electronic device.
`
`In some embodiments, the wireless communication to an electronic device may
`occur in an off-line environment. For example, a user may go “on-line” to access a
`website and select information and then go “off-line” or end the browsing session.
`The wireless communication may then occur while the user is off-line thereby
`removing the confines of using an active or on-line browsing environment (i.e.
`Internet radio broadcast, streaming audio, etc.) for accessing selected
`information. Therefore, the method of FIG. 2 allows for information, such as audio
`information, to be communicated from a network location such as a web site, to
`an electronic device “via” wireless communication. The present invention
`advantageously allows users to access and download information accessible by a
`network location to an electronic device operable to receive wireless
`communications thereby reducing the need for land lines, terrestrial
`communication networks, etc. for communicating selective information.
`
`In one embodiment, the method of FIG. 2 may be deployed in association with
`aan Internet website operable to display selectable links for downloading
`information. The information may include audio information such as MP3's,
`streaming audio, streaming,. Internet broadcasts, etc. are selectable by a user
`and operable to be wirelessly communicated to an electronic device. By providing
`a user with a website of selectable audio information operable to be wireless
`communicated to an electronic device, a user may customize information
`communicated to an electronic device. In one embodiment, a user may
`communicate information to an electronic device that may not be owned by the
`user. For example the method of FIG. 2 could be modified to allow a user to
`wirelessly communicate audio information to a plurality of electronic devices that
`may or may not be owned by the user.
`
`FIG. 3 illustrates an electronic device operable to receive selected audio
`information in accordance with the teachings of the present invention. Electronic
`device 300 includes a communication module 301 such as a transceiver coupled
`to storage medium 303 such as a high speed buffer, programmable memory, or
`other devices operable to store information. Electronic device 300 may also
`include processor 302 operably associated with communication module 301 and
`storage medium 303. Processor 302 may be operable to process wirelessly
`communicated selected information and in one embodiment may be integrated
`as part of communication module 301 of storage medium 303. In the same
`manner, as larger scale integration of electronic devices proliferate,
`communication module 301, processor 302, and storage medium 303 may be
`integrated into one communication component or device operable as electronic
`device 300.
`
`Processor 302 may be operable using software that may be stored within storage
`medium 303. In one embodiment, software upgrades may be communicated to
`electronic device 300 via wireless communication allowing for efficient system

`
`
`upgrades for electronic device 300. Storage medium 303 may include one or
`several different types of storage devices. For example, storage medium 303 may
`include programmable gate arrays, ROM devices, TRAMRAM devices,
`EEPROMs, minidisks or other memory devices operable to store information.
`
`During use, electronic device 300 receives wireless communications of selective
`information. The information may be transmitted via a wireless communications
`network and received by electronic device 300 via transceiver 301. Transceiver
`301 may be operable to convert the received wireless communication signal into
`a desirable format and store the received information within storage medium 303.
`The received information may then be processed by electronic device 300.
`
`In one embodiment, electronic device 300 may be operable as an audio player
`configured to play digital representations of music. For example, electronic device
`300 may also include an MP3 player operable to process the received information
`into an audio signal. Therefore, electronic device 300 may be used to receive
`wirelessly communicated MP3 audio files and play these files using an MP3
`player when desired. In another embodiment, electronic device 300 may be
`configured as a PDA wherein the PDA includes a web browser operable to
`wirelessly communicate with the Internet. The PDA device may include a user
