Abstract
A system for locally broadcasting audio content is described, comprising: a multimedia recording apparatus having a mass storage device for storing audio content; a content selection module to select specific audio content from the mass storage device responsive to a user input; a decoder to decode the specific audio content using a specified decoding algorithm; a frequency modulation (“FM”) and/or amplitude modulation (“AM”) modulator to frequency-modulate and/or amplitude-modulate, respectively, the specific audio content; and a transmitter to broadcast the modulated specific audio content below a threshold broadcast power level and at a specified carrier frequency.
Claims29
A system for locally broadcasting audio content comprising:
- a multimedia recording apparatus having a mass storage device for storing audio content;
- a content selection module to select specific audio content from said mass storage device responsive to a user input;
- a decoder to decode said specific audio content using a specified decoding algorithm;
- a frequency modulation (“FM”) and/or amplitude modulation (“AM”) modulator to frequency-modulate and/or amplitude-modulate, respectively, said specific audio content;
- and
- a transmitter to broadcast said modulated specific audio content below a threshold broadcast power level and at a specified carrier frequency.
A method comprising:
- communicatively coupling an AM and/or FM modulator and transmitter to a multimedia recording apparatus, said multimedia recording apparatus having a mass storage device with audio content stored thereon, said AM and/or FM modulator to frequency-modulate and/or amplitude modulate, respectively, and said transmitter to transmit said audio content read from said mass storage device at a specified carrier frequency.
A system for locally broadcasting audio content comprising:
- audio storage and playback means including a mass storage device for storing audio content;
- content selection means for selecting specific audio content from said mass storage device responsive to a user input;
- decoding means for decoding said specific audio content using a specified decoding algorithm;
- modulation means for frequency-modulating and/or amplitude-modulating said specific audio content;
- and
- transmission means for broadcasting said frequency-modulated specific audio content below a threshold broadcast power level and at a specified carrier frequency.
