Embodiment Construction

[0158] It should be noted that the following detailed description will focus on those examples where the radio broadcast is an analog FM radio broadcast and the data connection is an Internet connection. However, it should be understood that these are merely examples to illustrate the present invention. The invention can also be used with other radio broadcasts and other data connections.

[0159] figure 1 The steps of an exemplary embodiment of the method of the invention are shown. In step 102, the mobile electronic device receives a radio broadcast, for example a program from a station called "ApTu Radio" on a radio frequency of 95.2 MHz. The mobile electronic device may be, for example, an FM enabled mobile phone. In step 104 playback of the content is performed eg via a set of headphones connected to the mobile phone. In step 106, the data connection is accessed. Examples of such data connections include, but are not limited to, Internet connections (eg, via WLAN, Et...

Abstract

The present invention provides a method for continuation of multimedia playback, comprising receiving a radio broadcast comprising audio and / or video content at a first mobile electronic device, playing back said content, accessing a data connection, searching for a source of said content provided via said data connection, and stopping playback of said content from said radio broadcast and starting playback of said content from said source if at least one source is found. The switching to another content source can also be performed in the opposite direction. The invention also provides devices for performing the multimedia playback continuation method.

Description

technical field [0001] The present invention relates to methods and devices for continuous multimedia playback of electronic devices. In particular the invention relates to the continuous playback of multimedia content received from radio broadcasting via a data connection, or vice versa, in a mobile electronic device. Background technique [0002] Frequency modulation (FM) radio is one of the most widely used features in mobile devices. Newer radio services on mobile devices are rich in functionality and allow exciting interaction possibilities. For example, Nokia's "Visual Radio" works with a "Station Directory Service" (SDS) that enables users to see all details of the radio stations in their area. Other examples involving the reception of multimedia content via radio broadcasting are Digital Video Broadcasting Terrestrial (DVB-T), Handheld (DVB-H) or Digital Audio Broadcasting (DAB) broadcasting. [0003] FM radio reception, or reception of all multimedia radio broadc...
