Those kinds of information cannot presently be provided by the existing visual radio information system.
  • the main purpose of this invention is to provide a data broadcast system at a low cost for transmitting a large amount of information data to include images with high quality via FM broadcast equipment.
  • This invention is a data broadcasting system that broadcasts hypertext data with an identification code by utilizing the vacant frequency space on the FM band.
  • the received hypertext data is first identified by its identification code and then stored in a storage device.

  • the hypertext data can be transmitted at different times with visual radio information data. For instance, visual radio information data is transmitted during the day and the hypertext data is transmitted at night. Certainly hypertext data may be alternately transmitted with visual radio information after a small interval. It is also possible to transmit both hypertext data and visual radio information data at mixed.

  • Fig.9 is a block diagram of a receiver circuit of this invention.
  • the sample construction of the invention system is shown in Fig. 5.
  • the transmission circuit 70 consists of a stereo signal processor 12, a sub-carrier modulator 14, FM modulator 16, a FM transmitter 18, a FM transmission antenna 20, an L-MSK modulator 26, and a multiplexer 28, similar to a prior art visual radio information system.
  • a voice signal is transmitted through the FM transmitter and the FM transmission antenna.
  • the editing terminal 72 editing hypertext data and visual radio information data is included in the circuit, 70.
  • This editing terminal 72 is not only used for editing visual radio information, but also used for editing a large amount of hypertext information including images, such as Internet information, emergency information, public information, and so on.

  • the hypertext may be printed by a connected printer 90.
  • the mixed transmissions of visual radio information and hypertext data have three combinations. The first is transmission only of hypertext data. The second is the mixed transmissions of hypertext data and visual radio information data at a mixed rate. The third is time dimensional transmission. In the case of time dimensional transmission, hypertext data is alternately transmitted with visual radio information data on separate pages with varying content. It is also possible to transmit visual radio information data during the day and transmit hypertext data at night. In any case, hypertext data is encoded by defining its identification code b1, b2, b3 and b4 as [0 0 0 0]. This code is used to distinguish hypertext data from visual radio information data.
  • Hypertext data broadcasts such as a message reading "Hypertext data is broadcasting" can be carried within visual radio information. It is useful to notify listeners of hypertext data broadcast on visual radio information receivers. The combination notification is also effective in checking conditions like reflection, phasing and noise.
