Benefits of technology

The patent text describes a portable device that allows users to access digital audio services through Bluetooth communication. The device can use embedded information like RDS or RBDS to obtain content information. The benefits of using a communications protocol that carries digital information include the ability to uniquely identify content and track the audience. This can help broadcasters improve advertisements and obtain better data on who is listening and responding to them. As a result, broadcasters can sell more effective adverts to clients and earn higher pricing.

Problems solved by technology

However, these devices use fingerprinting technology that can identify a limited amount of audible content, for example published songs.
However, those devices require a second radio transceiver, in addition to the device originally receiving the broadcast.
Some inaccuracies can result, for example, when more than one broadcaster broadcasts the same or highly similar content.
