Systems and Methods for Digital Radio Broadcast with Cross Platform Reception

Abstract

Systems and methods are described for rendering content at a digital radio broadcast receiver system. A digital radio broadcast signal comprises data for rendering content at the digital radio broadcast receiver. The digital radio broadcast signal is processed to determine whether the data from the digital radio broadcast transmission contains a data error. A portion of the data containing the data error is identified. A download request is transmitted to a computing system, where the download request requests duplicate data for the portion of the data containing the data error. The duplicate data is received at the digital radio broadcast receiver for the portion of the data containing the error via other wireless communication other than the digital radio broadcast. The duplicate data is processed to provide an uninterrupted rendering of the content.

1 . A computer-implemented method for rendering content at a digital radio broadcast receiver system, the method comprising:
 receiving a digital radio broadcast signal via digital radio broadcast transmission, the digital radio broadcast signal comprising data in a specified format for rendering content at the digital radio broadcast receiver;   processing the digital radio broadcast signal to determine whether the data from the digital radio broadcast transmission contains a data error and identifying a portion of the data containing the data error;   transmitting a first notification to a computing system, the first notification being effective to cause the processing of duplicate data for the portion of the data containing the data error,   receiving the duplicate data at the digital radio broadcast receiver for the portion of the data containing the error via other wireless communication other than the digital radio broadcast transmission based on the first notification, wherein the duplicate data comprises the data in the specified format of the digital radio broadcast signal transmitted by the digital radio broadcast transmitter system; and   selecting the duplicate data instead of selecting the portion of the data that contains the data error to provide corrected data, and processing the corrected data at the digital radio broadcast receiver to provide an uninterrupted rendering of the content.
