Abstract

A control device in the radio has programming facilities for allowing a user to set a switch-on time and a desired station. The receiver is preferably equipped for RDS reception so as to employ this data in station identification and program selection. A muting arrangement is preferably included to interrupt the operation of other audio equipment such as a cassette or CD player.

Description

Die Erfindung betrifft ein Radiogerät, insbesondere Auto­ radiogerät, mit einer automatischen Steuervorrichtung zum Einschalten eines festlegbaren Senders zu einem bestimm­ ten Zeitpunkt.The invention relates to a radio, in particular a car radio, with an automatic control device for Switch on a definable transmitter for a specific one time.

Radiogeräte der vorstehenden Art sind in heutigen Kraft­ fahrzeugen eingebaut und deshalb allgemein bekannt. Die automatische Steuervorrichtung sorgt dafür, dass aufgrund eines vom Sender ausgesendeten RDS-Signals beispielsweise ein Cassettenrecorder stillgesetzt und ein bestimmter Sender im Radiogerät eingeschaltet wird, wenn dort gerade der Verkehrsfunk ertönt. Die Benutzer von Radiogeräten haben häufig den Wunsch, nicht nur den jeweiligen Ver­ kehrsfunk sondern zu einem bestimmten Zeitpunkt eine be­ stimmte Sendung eines bestimmten Senders zu hören. Man muss sich dann den jeweiligen Zeitpunkt und Sender merken und rechtzeitig die Sendung einschalten. Das wird jedoch leicht vergessen, beispielsweise dann, wenn das Verkehrsgeschehen eine hohe Aufmerksamkeit erfordert, die Aufmerksamkeit auf das Abhören von Tonkassetten gerichtet oder man auf andere Weise abgelenkt wird.Radio devices of the above type are in force today vehicles installed and therefore generally known. The automatic control device ensures that due an RDS signal emitted by the transmitter, for example a cassette recorder stopped and a certain one Transmitter in the radio is switched on if there is currently the traffic radio sounds. The users of radio equipment often have the desire, not just the respective Ver kehrsfunk but a be at a certain time agreed to hear broadcast of a particular station. Man must then remember the respective time and station and turn on the show in time. However, it will easily forgotten, for example if that Traffic requires a high level of attention  Attention is focused on listening to cassettes or you get distracted in some other way.

Bei Videorekordern ist es bekannt, dass diese sich auto­ matisch einschalten, um eine zuvor ausgewählte Sendung aufzunehmen. Hierzu berücksichtigen die Videorekorder ein vom Sender zur Identifizierung der Sendung ausgesendetes VPS-Signal. Dadurch wird zugleich eine mögliche Verschie­ bung des Sendezeitpunktes berücksichtigt.With video recorders it is known that they auto switch on automatically to a previously selected program to record. To do this, consider the VCR sent by the sender to identify the shipment VPS signal. This also makes a possible shift exercise of the time of transmission is taken into account.

Der Erfindung liegt das Problem zugrunde, ein Radiogerät der eingangs genannten Art so zu gestalten, dass die Ge­ fahr eines Verpassens des Hörens gewünschter Sendungen möglichst gering ist und insbesondere bei einem Autoradiogerät, daß der Benutzer eines Autoradiogerätes sich voll auf das Verkehrsgeschehen konzentrieren kann ohne während der Fahrt am Autoradio Einstellungen vornehmen zu müssen.The invention is based on the problem of a radio of the type mentioned at the outset so that Ge driving a missed listening to desired programs is as low as possible and especially with one Car radio that the user of a car radio can concentrate fully on the traffic situation without settings while driving the car radio to have to make.

Dieses Problem wird erfindungsgemäß dadurch gelöst, dass die Steuervorrichtung Programmiermittel zum Festlegen des Einschaltzeitpunktes und des jeweils gewünschten Senders durch den Benutzer des Radiogerätes aufweist. Durch eine solche Steuervorrichtung wird es möglich, dass man bei­ spielsweise bei einem Autoradio zu Beginn einer Autofahrt bestimmte Sendungen festlegt, welche man hören will. Dann schaltet sich zum Beispiel um 7.00 Uhr ein Sender 1 mit Nachrichten, um 7.20 Uhr ein Sender 2 mit einer bestimm­ ten Sendung und um 8.00 Uhr ein Sender 3 mit erneuten Nachrichten automatisch ein.This problem is solved according to the invention in that the control device programming means for setting the Switch-on time and the desired station by the user of the radio. By a such control device, it becomes possible that one at for example with a car radio at the start of a car ride determines certain programs which one wants to hear. Then for example, a transmitter 1 switches on at 7:00 a.m. News, at 7.20 a station 2 with a certain ten program and at 8:00 a station 3 with renewed Messages automatically.

Die Steuervorrichtung kann sehr einfach gestaltet sein, indem sie eine Zeitvorgabe zum Festlegen der gewünschten Einschaltzeit und ein Zeitglied zum Ermitteln des Ein­ schaltzeitpunktes hat. The control device can be very simple, by setting a timeline to set the one you want On time and a timer to determine the on switching time.  

Möglich ist es jedoch auch, dass die Steuervorrichtung einen Empfänger zum Empfang von Identifizierungssignalen eines Senders für bestimmte Sendungen aufweist. In einem solchen Fall müssen die Sender natürlich die erforderli­ chen Identifizierungssignale senden.However, it is also possible for the control device a receiver for receiving identification signals of a transmitter for certain programs. In one In such a case, the transmitters must of course have the necessary Chen send identification signals.

Ein manuelles Abschalten eines beim automatischen Ein­ schalten des Radiogerätes laufenden Cassettenrekorders oder eines anderen Audiogerätes wird unnötig, wenn die Steuervorrichtung Mittel zum Unterbrechen des Laufs eines anderen Audiogerätes, zum Beispiel eines Cassettenre­ korders oder CD-Players, aufweist.A manual shutdown on automatic on switch the radio on the cassette recorder or another audio device becomes unnecessary if the Control device means for interrupting the run of a other audio equipment, for example a cassette player recorders or CD players.
