Abstract
A signal-coding unit, to be used with a radio receiver compatible with the RDS standard, receiving as input an input signal according to RDS standard comprising not indicative information about the radio receiver, and emitting as output an output signal, comprising signal-combining means for combining at least one portion of the input signal with a signal component comprising indicative information about the radio receiver, the combination between the above mentioned portion of the input signal and the signal component being the output signal (FIG. 2).
Claims15
A signal-coding unit, to be used with a radio receiver compatible with the RDS standard, receiving as input an input signal according to the RDS standard comprising not-indicative information about said radio receiver, and emitting as output an output signal, characterized in that it comprises signal-combining means for combining at least one portion of said input signal with a signal component comprising indicative information about said radio receiver, the combination between at least one portion of said input signal and said signal component being said output signal.
The coding unit according to any of the preceding claims, characterized in that said output signal comprises a fifth output signal component (DBF), comprising indicative information about a list of preferred pieces.
A signal-decoding unit, to be used in a system for receiving radio-transmitted data, receiving as input an input signal comprising indicative information about a transmitter-receiver apparatus therefrom said input signal is transmitted, characterized in that it comprises signal-separating means for separating from said input signal said indicative information about said transmitter-receiver apparatus.
