Patent ID: 8744338

Claim:
A method of augmenting broadcast data transmitted by at least one broadcast data transmitter, with other data using a mobile transceiver device, comprising: receiving, at a mobile transceiver device, metadata associated with a broadcast, the metadata derived from a broadcast received by a broadcast radio receiver separate from the mobile transceiver device; automatically formulating a search query at the mobile transceiver device based on the received metadata, wherein automatically formulating of the search query comprises accessing configuration information for obtaining identification information of a preferred recipient of the search query, the search query being formulated according to a pre-configured search engine associated with the preferred recipient, the pre-configured search engine being automatically selected based on a type of content to be searched; sending the formulated search query from the mobile transceiver device to a wireless data network; receiving a response to the search query at the mobile transceiver device, the response including additional metadata based on information in the query, the additional metadata corresponding to a current content item being performed on the broadcast data transmitter and corresponding to identification information for at least one additional content item that will be performed on the broadcast data transmitter, based on a performance schedule for the broadcast data transmitter, and the information in the query including the identity of the broadcast data transmitter to which the broadcast radio receiver is tuned; and performing, through one or more output functions of the mobile transceiver device, content obtained from the search query response while the broadcast radio receiver performs content from the broadcast.
