A non-navigation data system for providing traffic data service in a mobile environment can include a data decoder for decoding a digital data stream from a digital audio radio transmission source, location determining means (such as GPS or cellular location determining schemes) for determining a current location of a mobile receiver receiving the digital data stream, a display for displaying traffic data corresponding to the current location, and a plurality of static maps wherein the traffic data corresponding to the current location is overlaid at least over a portion of the static maps.

Distribution of content in an information distribution system

A system and method (and) for a user of a multichannel broadcasting service listening to a particular channel provides alerts about the content currently available on other channels which are of interest to the user. Auxiliary data streams of interest can be presented for display in conjunction with the audio transmission of a related or unrelated channel. The system and method include storing criteria associated with programming or auxiliary content of interest to a user and searching for unique identifiers within the broadcast signal signifying the availability of content which meets the criteria.

Program and data alerts and auxiliary datastreams in a multichannel broadcast system

Disclosed is a system and that synchronizes utilization of a data transfer with an audio/video stream. Time information contained within an audio/video stream is monitored for a specified time at which a data transfer may be combined with the audio/video stream. Combination includes logical operations, arithmetic operations, and may include screen windowing or other operations. Time required to request and receive a data transfer may be monitored or estimated such that requests for data are issued in advance of utilization of the data, allowing for data transfer time and network access time or other factors. Requests for a data transfer may be processed employing user information such that returned data transfers reflect a characteristic of the user.
