Abstract
An information processing apparatus capable of detecting an emergency signal includes a first obtainment unit configured to obtain positional information representing a current position of the information processing apparatus; a selection unit configured to select one of a plurality of broadcast stations using the positional information obtained by the first obtainment unit; a reception unit configured to receive a radio wave signal at a frequency of the broadcast station selected by the selection unit; and a first output unit configured to output an audio signal obtained by demodulating the radio wave signal received by the reception unit.
Claims13
An information processing apparatus configured to detect an emergency signal, the apparatus comprising:
- processing circuitry configured to obtain positional information representing a current position of the information processing apparatus, and select one of a plurality of broadcast stations using the obtained positional information;
- and
- a receiver configured to receive a radio wave signal at a frequency of the selected broadcast station,
- wherein the processing circuitry is further configured to output an audio signal obtained by demodulating the radio wave signal received by the receiver.
A method executed by an information processing apparatus configured to detect an emergency signal, the method comprising:
- obtaining positional information representing a current position of the information processing apparatus;
- selecting one of a plurality of broadcast stations using the obtained positional information;
- and
- receiving a radio wave signal at a frequency of the selected broadcast station.
An information processing system comprising:
- an information processing apparatus configured to detect an emergency signal;
- and
- an information providing device configured to communicate with the information processing apparatus,
- wherein the information processing apparatus includes
- processing circuitry configured to obtain positional information representing a current position of the information processing apparatus,
- a first transmitter configured to transmit the positional information obtained by the processing circuitry to the information providing device, wherein the processing circuitry is further configured to select one of a plurality of broadcast stations using the obtained positional information, and
- a receiver configured to receive a radio wave signal at a frequency of the selected broadcast station,
- wherein the processing circuitry is further configured to output an audio signal obtained by demodulating the received radio wave signal, and
- the information providing device includes a second transmitter configured to transmit information indicating candidates of the broadcast stations generated based on the positional information received from the first transmitter, back to the information processing apparatus.
