Abstract
A control method of a vehicle radio apparatus includes: confirming a broadcast name of an Internet radio being listened to; searching a frequency at which a first analog radio having the broadcast name is being transmitted; determining whether a signal quality of the first analog radio received at the frequency is good; determining whether the Internet radio and the first analog radio are the same broadcast when it is determined that the signal quality of the first analog radio is not good; and converting the Internet radio into a second analog radio and transmitting the second analog radio when it is determined that the Internet radio and the first analog radio are the same broadcast.
Claims12
A control method of a vehicle radio apparatus, the control method comprising:
- confirming a broadcast name of an Internet radio being listened to;
- searching a frequency at which a first analog radio having the broadcast name is being transmitted;
- determining whether a signal quality of the first analog radio received at the frequency is good;
- determining whether the Internet radio and the first analog radio are the same broadcast when it is determined that the signal quality of the first analog radio is not good;
- and
- converting the Internet radio into a second analog radio and transmitting the second analog radio when it is determined that the Internet radio and the first analog radio are the same broadcast.
A vehicle radio apparatus, comprising:
- an Internet radio receiving and processing device;
- an analog radio receiving and processing device;
- a radio control device;
- and
- an analog radio transmitting and processing device,
- wherein the radio control device is configured to:
- confirm a broadcast name of an Internet radio being listened to, using the Internet radio receiving and processing device;
- search a frequency at which a first analog radio having the broadcast name is being transmitted, using the analog radio receiving and processing device;
- determine whether a signal quality of the first analog radio received at the frequency is good;
- determine whether the Internet radio and the first analog radio are the same broadcast when it is determined that the signal quality of the first analog radio is not good;
- and
- convert the Internet radio into a second analog radio and transmit the second analog radio, using the analog radio transmitting and processing device when it is determined that the Internet radio and the first analog radio are the same broadcast.
A vehicle radio apparatus comprising an analog radio receiving and processing device that receives a second analog radio transmitted by a surrounding vehicle,
- wherein the second analog radio is a signal generated by the surrounding vehicle based on:
- confirming a broadcast name of an Internet radio being listened to;
- searching a frequency at which a first analog radio having the broadcast name is being transmitted;
- determining whether a signal quality of the first analog radio received at the frequency is good;
- determining whether the Internet radio and the first analog radio are the same broadcast when it is determined that the signal quality of the first analog radio is not good;
- and
- converting the Internet radio into the second analog radio when it is determined that the Internet radio and the first analog radio are the same broadcast.
