Abstract:
The method and apparatus for selection of content on a device allows a radio to scan for desired (e.g. audio) selections being broadcast in accordance with a defined priority list that has been pre-stored. A found selection is played in order of priority and then placed back in the priority list in accordance with a prioritization logic. Desired content is identified by a digital signature or audio clip, for example. Associated with the identifier can be user interface settings, such as audio controls, and even vehicle settings such as window position, sun roof, moon roof, or convertible roof top, for example. The user interface can be used to store and sort identifiers and to provide control settings to the user in audio or video format.
