Abstract:
Audio and/or video content is remotely stored. A portion of the remotely stored content is transferred to and stored in a mobile on-demand audio and/or video content output device. In addition, a link is transferred to and stored in the mobile output device. The link is associated with the content portion stored in the output device and points to another portion of the remotely stored content that is related to the content portion locally stored on the mobile device. In response to a user command entered on the mobile device, the related portion of the remotely stored content is accessed using a two-way wireless communications system and is transferred from the database to the mobile device for output.

Abstract:
In a local storage and playback broadcast system, multiple copies of one or more processing parameters used in individual receivers for the local storage and playback are broadcast. In some embodiments each processing parameter is associated with each packet in the program so that a copy of each parameter is broadcast with each packet. In some embodiments the program is divided into segments, each segment having a header, and a copy of the parameter is broadcast in each segment header.
Abstract:
Multiple copies of a software or operating parameter change are broadcast using a wireless signal to a mobile electronic device. Broadcasting multiple copies increases the probability that the device will receive the change without error.

Abstract:
An audio information device has a memory (16) in which a variety of pre-recorded program material is stored. A linking facility is provided connecting audio data files. The links are context related; whilst the user is listening to a first program, a display (38) is illuminated to indicate to the user that another program is available with related content. The user then presses a key on a keypad (44) to command play of the second, related file. Upon completion of the second file, play of the first file is resumed at the point of interruption. An alert bulletin facility is also provided whereby during listening to a first program, upon receipt in real time of current news such as a traffic report, the current news is played by interrupting the first program. At the conclusion of the bulletin, play of the first program is resumed at its point of interruption.
