System and method for correlating broadcast station with geographic proximity on earth

A communication device for use in a system including a first global positioning system satellite, a second global positioning satellite and a broadcast transmitter, the first global positioning system satellite being operable to generate a first position signal, the second global positioning system satellite being operable to generate a second position signal, the broadcast transmitter being disposed in a first location and being operable to transmit a broadcast signal having broadcast transmitter identification information therein, said communication device comprising:

• a database portion having correlation data therein and being operable to generate a first correlation, to generate a second correlation and to generate a correlation signal, the first correlation being based the broadcast transmitter identification information and the first location, the second correlation being based on the first location and one of the first global positioning system satellite and the second global positioning satellite, the correlation signal being based on the second correlation,
• a first receiver portion operable to receive the broadcast signal;
• a processing portion operable to extract the broadcast transmitter identification information from the broadcast signal;
• a transmission portion operable to transmit the broadcast transmitter identification information to said database portion;
• a second receiver portion operable to receive the correlation signal;
• and
• a communication portion operable to transmit a communication signal to the one of the first global positioning system satellite and the second global positioning satellite, based on the correlation signal

A method of communicating with a system including a first global positioning system satellite, a second global positioning satellite, a broadcast transmitter and a database, the first-global positioning system satellite being operable to generate a first position signal, the second global positioning system satellite being operable to generate a second position signal, the broadcast transmitter being disposed in a first location and being operable to transmit a broadcast signal having broadcast transmitter identification information therein, the database having correlation data therein, the data base being operable to generate a first correlation, to generate a second correlation and to generate a correlation signal, the first correlation being based the broadcast transmitter identification information and the first location, the second correlation being based on the first location and one of the first global positioning system satellite and the second global positioning satellite, the correlation signal being based on the second correlation, said method comprising:

• receiving, via a first receiver portion, the broadcast signal;
• extracting, via a processing portion, the broadcast transmitter identification information from the broadcast signal;
• transmitting, via a transmission portion, the broadcast transmitter identification information to the database;
• receiving, via a second receiver portion, the correlation signal;
• and
• transmitting, via a communication portion, a communication signal to the one of the first global positioning system satellite and the second global positioning satellite, based on the correlation signal.
