A method for a radio channel connection of an electronic device using broadcasting information, the method comprising:
- detecting tuning in to a specific radio channel;
- determining whether there is pre-stored broadcasting information;
- determining, if the pre-stored broadcasting information exists, whether the specific radio channel is found in the pre-stored broadcasting information;
- and
- using, if the specific radio channel is found in the pre-stored broadcasting information, at least one of the pre-stored broadcasting information and a contents server address corresponding to the specific radio channel.
A method for a radio channel connection of an electronic device using broadcasting information, the method comprising:
- creating, in response to a channel search event, a frequency list by scanning radio frequencies;
- determining whether there is pre-stored broadcasting information;
- determining, if the pre-stored broadcasting information is present, whether a specific frequency is found in the pre-stored broadcasting information;
- and
- using, if the specific frequency is found in the pre-stored broadcasting information, at least one of the pre-stored broadcasting information and a contents server address.
An electronic device comprising:
- a communication unit configured to receive a radio broadcast;
- an audio unit configured to convert the radio broadcast into an audio signal;
- and
- a control unit configured to detect tuning in to a specific radio channel, to determine whether there is pre-stored broadcasting information, to determine, if the pre-stored broadcasting information is present, whether the specific radio channel is found in the pre-stored broadcasting information, and if the specific radio channel is found in the pre-stored broadcasting information, and to use at least one of the pre-stored broadcasting information and a contents server address corresponding to the specific radio channel.
