Moving from a start block, two parallel processes are presented for a first tuner and a second tuner. For the first tuner, a first process moves to a block 910 where information identifying a particular broadcast is received.
- This information may be provided by the user, or the first tuner may have identified a scanned broadcast based on user preference. In either case, the first process moves to a block 920 where the first tuner is tuned to the identified broadcast (if not already) and is employed to play the broadcast with the mobile device.
- the first process advances to decision block 930 where a determination is made whether new information has been received for another broadcast.
- the new information may be entered by the user, provided by the first tuner for another scanned broadcast based on user preference when it is done playing the previously identified broadcast, or provided by the second tuner for a scanned broadcast based on user preference. In any case, when the determination is negative, the first process loops at decision block 930 until the determination is affirmative.
- the first process moves to block 940 where the mobile device asynchronously tunes to and plays the newly identified broadcast.
- the first process loops back to decision block 930 and performs substantially the same process as described above.
- the second process moves to block 950 where the second tuner scans for another broadcast based on user preference.
- the second process advances to decision block 960 where a determination is made whether another scanned broadcast based on user preference was identified by the second tuner. If the determination is negative, the process loops at block 960 until the determination is affirmative. When the determination at decision block 960 is affirmative, the second process flows to block 970 where the user is notified of the new information for the other scanned broadcast based on user preference.
- the second process moves to a decision block 980 where a determination is made whether the new broadcast information is to be provided to the first process. If the determination is negative, the second process loops back to block 950 and performs substantially the same process discussed above. However, when the determination at decision block 950 is affirmative, the new information for the other scanned broadcast is provided to the first process at decision block 930, where the first process performs substantially the same process discussed above.
