Patent ID: 7035628

Claim:
A method of content blocking in a digital audio radio on at least a portion of one of a plurality of channels, comprising the steps of: receiving a digitally encoded bit stream over-the-air on the plurality of channels; selectively choosing to skip undesired content on at least a portion of a channel by storing a code representative of the undesired content in a memory of the digital audio radio, wherein the code stored is representative of a location and wherein the code representative of the location is updated via a GPS receiver or other location determination means utilizing time delays; communicating an indicia of the undesired content to a central station; receiving a signal over-the-air from the central station that disables the undesired content in the digital audio radio; and blocking the output of the content by disabling the portion of the channel by comparing the code with a second code embedded in the signal from the central station.
