Abstract:
An apparatus for receiving broadcasting signals comprising:a tuning portion for receiving selectively digital audio broadcasting signals,a first decoding portion for producing information data based on a digital audio broadcasting signal received by said tuning portion,a second decoding portion for decoding the information data from said first decoding portion to produce a digital audio signal and associated data accompanying the digital audio signal,a memory portion in which the associated data are stored and from which the stored associated data are read, andan operation control portion for controlling said memory portion to store a selected part of the associated data from said second decoding portion, which includes a predetermined quantity of data, in said memory portion, and to read from said memory portion the selected part of the stored associated data, and for extracting a predetermined portion of the associated data from the selected part of the associated data read from said memory portion whereinthe predetermined portion of the associated data extracted by said operation control portion is a program information portion of the associated data which represents selected program information in the selected part of the associated data read from said memory portion,the program information portion of the associated data which represents the selected program information extracted by said operation control portion corresponds to a part between marks representing a partition of data in the selected part of the associated data read from the memory portion, andthe part between marks representing the partition of data corresponding to the program information portion extracted by said operation control portion is a part between a pair of special marks or double spaces in the selected part of the associated data read from the memory portion.
