Abstract
An apparatus including a memory for associating at least one user defined channel identifier with at least one selection item of the apparatus and a control unit coupled to the memory, the control unit being configured to cause one of the at least one user defined channel identifier to play when a corresponding one of the at least one selection item is activated by a user.
Claims26
An apparatus comprising:
- a memory for associating at least one user defined channel identifier with at least one selection item of the apparatus;
- and
- a control unit coupled to the memory, the control unit being configured to cause one of the at least one user defined channel identifier to play when a corresponding one of the at least one selection item is activated by a user.
A method comprising:
- associating a broadcast reception channel of the device with a broadcast station that can be received by the device;
- associating an identifier with the broadcast reception channel;
- and
- muting a broadcast received from the broadcast station on the broadcast reception channel when the identifier is played or mixing the identifier over the received broadcast when the broadcast reception channel is activated, the identifier identifying a selected broadcast station to the user.
1 more element
A computer program product comprising:
- a computer useable medium having computer readable code means embodied therein for causing a computer to play a channel identifier, the computer readable code means in the computer program product comprising:
- computer readable code means for causing a computer to associate at least one user defined channel identifier with at least one selection item;
- and
- computer readable code means for causing a computer to play one of the at least one user defined channel identifier when a corresponding one of the at least one selection item is activated by a user.
1 more element
An apparatus comprising:
- a channel preset unit configured to allow a user to associate at least one broadcast receiving channel of the apparatus with at least one input selection key of the apparatus;
- a channel identifier unit configured to allow a user to associate an audio identifier with the at least one input selection key;
- and
- a controller configured to detect an activation of the input selection key for a particular broadcast receiving channel, identify the associated audio identifier associated with the particular broadcast receiving channel, and activate the audio identifier to play over a active signal on the particular broadcast receiving channel.
1 more element
An apparatus comprising:
- an associating means for allowing a user to associate at least one broadcast receiving channel of the apparatus with at least one input selection key of the apparatus;
- a first identifying means for allowing a user to associate an audio identifier with the at least one input selection key;
- a detecting means for detecting an activation of the input selection key for a particular broadcast receiving channel;
- a second identifying means for identifying the associated audio identifier associated with the particular broadcast receiving channel;
- and
- an activation means for activating the audio identifier to play over a active signal on the particular broadcast receiving channel.
3 more elements
