Patent ID: 7974338

Claim:
A digital radio receiver, comprising: a receiver adapted to receive a digital radio stream and convert the digital radio stream into a first channel and a second channel, the digital radio stream comprising a radio frequency signal, and the first and second channels comprising digital signals; a decoder in communication with the receiver, the decoder adapted to concurrently decode the first channel in a first latency time to obtain a first data and concurrently decode the second channel in a second latency time to obtain a second data, where the second latency time is greater than the first latency time; a transducer in communication with the decoder, the transducer adapted to output the first and second data; a memory; and a processor in communication with the decoder, the memory, and the transducer, the processor adapted to access the memory when the digital radio stream is received to determine whether the memory has stored the first data from previously receiving the digital radio stream, wherein the processor is adapted to provide the stored first data to the transducer when the first data is previously stored in the memory, and adapted to store the first data in the memory when the first data is not present in the memory; where the first data is output on the transducer after the decoder decodes the first channel and while the decoder is decoding the second channel, and the second data is output on the transducer after the decoder decodes the second channel.
