Since the first ever electromagnetic radio wave known to man was created in a lab in 1888, radio has grown/developed significantly. Radio then up until the early 1900's was more or less energy mixed with magnetism forming radio waves or electricity flowing into a transmitter vibrating and producing radio wave lengths that travel through air until reaching its destination, a receiver antenna that produced electric current.
Though radio has come a long way from generating sound frequencies (hertz) at the speed of light carrying program signals from huge transmitter antennas connected to radio stations, to much smaller antennas on vehicles, radio sets, alarm clock radios and even on mobile/portable devices some even in HD; my invention “Live Radio Transformer (LRT)” will be one of the greatest radio enhancements to date. My innovative idea is to literally transform live radio (hence the name) and this enhancement will provide the abilities to pause, record, rewind and fast forward live radio feeds, whether in standard or high definition, regardless if on a vehicle stereo, a boombox, alarm clock radio, or even on mobile/portable devices. These resources used to hear radio already receive frequency and amplitude modulation through fluctuations in carriers, however the capabilities to record a live feed, pause a live feed, to then be able to rewind, fast forward, and save them at will has never existed. Well, now it does through my invention; the “Live Radio Transformer (LRT)” which allows one to do more with radio feeds, beyond just rewinding and fast forwarding.
The “LRT” differs from anything else as it allows long recording time intervals, has saving capacity that allows recordings to be stored on a vehicle stereo, boombox, alarm clock radio, and even mobile/portable devices up to thirty days or until you advise to delete items. It also allows one to sync to home stationary radio devices or even local public wireless radio devices to hear the same paused/recorded feeds from your vehicle through Wi-Fi or internets compatible to permit connections to your vehicle. My innovation has many features and will be a great booster for analog radio in general and will make radio competitive and a demanded resourceful way to receive information/entertainment we like to hear and know about. The (LRT) will be supported by digital recording/storing technologies. The system will also include my created Live Radio/Record buttons. The live radio button will instantly take you right back to current regularly scheduled radio feeds after having paused, or rewound a broadcast for up to 30 plus minutes, for any reason at any point whether in a vehicle or at a place where either a boombox, alarm clock radio or mobile/portable device is present and playing live radio feeds.
This will be backed by technology such as: proper module processor(s), Intel chips, through air antennas that collect radio fragments in air, a variety of circuits such as arithmetic, authentication, setting, cryptographic, and read-write. The compatible memory drives/modules to store data such as; pluralities of sorts (target memory, read-write units), first/second interfaces, read-write interfaces, hard drives, and selector(s) for receiving electric signal outputted from antenna which receives radio signals, or technical items to that which are similar. External hard drives could possibly be implemented within the radios that incorporate the LRT to allow the system to have more data storage/saving capabilities; if one should need it. The other obvious technical components comprise of a variety of parts within the systems database for certain types of radios such as; arithmetic units to connect to interface, control units with similar procedures, and transmit/receive units. Each unit works together or hand in hand i.e. to transmit and receive data, read and write it, to send it to the next unit process to ultimately produce storage space and most importantly transmitting, receiving, and projecting through radio amplifying speakers resulting in crisp clear sounds we can enjoy.
The record button provides you the ability to record a segment of radio regardless if on a vehicle's stereo, boombox, alarm clock radio, or mobile/portable device if you know you will not be able to hear what is being projected at that moment or if you're interrupted. The record button will also have the technologies mentioned above or similar to that which backs the live radio button or the LRT enhancement; with the exception of additional devices, mainly internal higher capacity hard drives with appropriate gigabyte capacity needed dependent upon whether the LRT is in a vehicle stereo, boombox, alarm clock radio, or on a mobile/portable unit.
Ability to record more than thirty minutes of a radio broadcast is a feature of the LRT; as well as the groupings of recordings in their own folder that will be saved to your radio device type of choice for up to thirty days before erasing old recordings to make room for the newly saved. On the digital screen whether touch screen or not you will be able to pull up your saved recordings folder on your radio device or mobile/portable device to play a recorded song/segment. LRT will provide the option for you the controller to make the decision to or not to have recordings in folders deleted automatically as well. That will be the huge difference in my LRT than any other item even remotely similar. LRT will also feature a similar component to that of a multi-tuner if you will, to allow radio listeners to pause one radio channel and be recording another within the same time interval on vehicle stereos, boomboxes, and alarm clock radios.
