Abstract

Apparatus, methods, processors and computer programs products for generating or processing a broadcast radio transmission comprising multimedia content and supplemental information corresponding to the multimedia content. The supplemental information comprises a selected data group from a plurality of predetermined data groups each comprising different data, wherein the selected data group further comprises a tag and a corresponding set of text data operable to initiate a predetermined capability of a wireless device.

First claim

What is claimed is:

1 . A method of processing radio signals on a wireless device comprising:
receiving a broadcast radio transmission comprising multimedia content and supplemental information corresponding to the multimedia content, wherein the supplemental information comprises a first data group from a plurality of predetermined data groups each comprising different data, wherein the first data group further comprises a first tag and a corresponding first set of text data; detecting the first tag and the first set of text data; and enabling a predetermined capability including control of collection or reporting of wireless device usage data for the wireless device based on the detected first tag and the detected first set of text data, wherein receiving the broadcast radio transmission further comprises receiving the multimedia content having a sequence of primary content and secondary content, wherein receiving the broadcast radio transmission further comprises receiving the supplemental information comprising at least one of the first data group and a second data group different from the first data group, wherein one of the first data group and the second data group comprises a content identifier corresponding to the primary content or the secondary content, and wherein enabling the predetermined capability further comprises initiating the predetermined capability based on detecting the content identifier corresponding to the secondary content or detecting an absence of the content identifier corresponding to the primary content.

2 . The method of claim 1 , wherein initiating the predetermined capability further comprises at least one of rendering content stored in a memory of the wireless device on an output device on the wireless device, invoking a web browsing application, invoking a voice call application, and or invoking a data call application.

3 . A wireless device, comprising:
a memory comprising a radio enhancer module; a processor in communication with the memory and operable to execute the radio enhancer module; a receiver in communication with the processor, wherein the receiver is operable to receive a broadcast radio transmission comprising multimedia content and supplemental information corresponding to the multimedia content, wherein the supplemental information comprises a first data group from a plurality of predetermined data groups each comprising different data, wherein the first data group further comprises a first tag and a corresponding first set of text data; and a receiver module associated with the receiver, wherein the receiver module comprises circuitry operable to detect the first tag and the first set of text data, wherein the processor executes the radio enhancer module to monitor the receiver module, wherein the radio enhancer module is operable responsive to detection of the first tag and first set of text data to enable predetermined capability including control of collection or reporting of wireless device usage data for the wireless device based on the first tag and the first set of text data, and wherein the multimedia content further comprises a sequence of primary content and secondary content, wherein the supplemental information further comprises at least one of the first data group and a second data group different from the first data group, wherein one of the first data group and the second data group comprises a content identifier corresponding to the primary content or the secondary content, and wherein the radio enhancer module is further operable to initiate the predetermined capability based on detecting the content identifier corresponding to the secondary content or detecting an absence of the content identifier corresponding to the primary content.

4 . The wireless device of claim 3 , further comprising an output device, wherein the memory further comprises predetermined content, a web browsing application, a voice call application, and a data call application, wherein the radio enhancer module is further operable to initiate at least one of rendering the predetermined content on the output device, invoking the web browsing application, invoking the voice call application, or invoking the data call application.

5 . A computer program product for processing radio signals on a wireless device comprising:
a computer-readable medium comprising code executable by a computer for:
receiving a broadcast radio transmission comprising multimedia content and supplemental information corresponding to the multimedia content, wherein the supplemental information comprises a first data group from a plurality of predetermined data groups each comprising different data, wherein the first data group further comprises a first tag and a corresponding first set of text data;
detecting the first tag and the first set of text data; and
enabling a predetermined capability including control of collection or reporting of wireless device usage data for the wireless device based on the detected first tag and the detected first set of text data,
wherein receiving the broadcast radio transmission further comprises receiving the multimedia content having a sequence of primary content and secondary content, wherein receiving the broadcast radio transmission further comprises receiving the supplemental information comprising at least one of the first data group and a second data group different from the first data group, wherein one of the first data group and the second data group comprises a content identifier corresponding to the primary content or the secondary content, and wherein enabling the predetermined capability further comprises initiating the predetermined capability based on detecting the content identifier corresponding to the secondary content or detecting an absence of the content identifier corresponding to the primary content.

6 . The computer program product of claim 5 , wherein the code for initiating the predetermined capability further comprises code for at least one of rendering content stored in a memory of the wireless device on an output device on the wireless device, invoking a web browsing application, invoking a voice call application, and or invoking a data call application.

7 . A method of generating radio signals for broadcast, comprising:
obtaining multimedia content; obtaining supplemental information corresponding to the multimedia content, the supplemental information comprising a first data group from a plurality of predetermined data groups each comprising different data, wherein the first data group further comprises a first tag and a corresponding first set of text data; and generating a broadcast radio transmission comprising the multimedia content and the supplemental information corresponding to the multimedia content, wherein the first tag and the first set of text data are operable to enable a predetermined capability including control of collection or reporting of wireless device usage data for a wireless device in receipt of the broadcast radio transmission and responsive to a detection of the first tag and the first set of text data by the wireless device, and wherein generating the broadcast radio transmission further comprises generating the multimedia content in a sequence of primary content and secondary content, wherein obtaining the supplemental information further comprises obtaining at least one of the first data group and a second data group different from the first data group, wherein one of the first data group and the second data group comprises a content identifier corresponding to the primary content or the secondary content, and wherein generating the broadcast radio transmission is further operable to initiate the predetermined capability based on the wireless device
