Abstract

A radio signal transmitter for an audio source generator includes a reception antenna for receiving a plurality of broadcasting signals, a decision unit coupled to the reception antenna for determining intensities of the plurality of broadcasting signals received by the reception antenna, a selection unit coupled to the decision unit for determining an operating frequency according to a decision result of the decision unit, a modulation unit coupled to the selection unit and the audio source generator for transforming an audio signal provided by the audio source generator into a broadcasting signal according to the operating frequency determined by the selection unit, and a transmission antenna coupled to the modulation unit for emitting the broadcasting signal outputted from the modulation unit in the air.

Claims (38)

1. A radio signal transmitter for an audio source generator comprising:

a reception antenna for receiving a plurality of broadcasting signals;

a decision unit coupled to the reception antenna for determining intensities of the plurality of broadcasting signals received by the reception antenna;

a selection unit for determining an operating frequency according to a decision result of the decision unit, comprising:

a display unit coupled to the decision unit for displaying frequencies corresponding to broadcasting signals having intensities smaller than a predetermined value among the plurality of broadcasting signals according to the decision result of the decision unit; and

an input interface coupled to the decision unit and the modulation unit for receiving signals outputted from a user in order to determine the operating frequency;

a modulation unit coupled to the selection unit and the audio source generator for transforming an audio signal provided by the audio source generator into a broadcasting signal according to the operating frequency determined by the selection unit; and

a transmission antenna coupled to the modulation unit for emitting the broadcasting signal outputted from the modulation unit in the air;

wherein the predetermined value changes according to the intensities of the plurality of broadcasting signals.

2. The radio signal transmitter of claim 1 , wherein the predetermined value is a fixed value.

3. The radio signal transmitter of claim 1 further comprising a storage unit coupled to the input interface for storing a determination result of the user.

4. The radio signal transmitter of claim 1 further comprising a storage unit coupled to the decision unit for storing the decision result of the decision unit.

5. A method for outputting an audio signal of an audio source generator comprising:

receiving a plurality of broadcasting signals;

determining intensities of the plurality of broadcasting signals;

setting a predetermined value according to the intensities of the plurality of broadcasting signals;

displaying frequencies corresponding to broadcasting signals having intensities smaller than the predetermined value among the plurality of broadcasting signals;

receiving signals outputted from a user in order to determine an operating frequency;

transforming the audio signal provided by the audio source generator into a broadcasting signal according to the operating frequency; and

emitting the broadcasting signal.

6. The method of claim 5 further comprising setting the predetermined value to be a fixed value.

7. The method of claim 5 further comprising storing signals outputted from the user.

8. The method of claim 5 further comprising storing decision results of the intensities of the plurality of broadcasting signals.

9. A multimedia system comprising:

an audio source generator for outputting an audio signal;

an audio player device for receiving and playing frequency modulation broadcasting signals; and

a radio signal transmitter coupled to the audio source generator, comprising:

a receiving end coupled to the audio source generator for receiving the audio signal provided by the audio source generator;

a reception antenna for receiving a plurality of broadcasting signals;

a decision unit coupled to the reception antenna for determining intensities of the plurality of broadcasting signals received by the reception antenna;

a selection unit for determining an operating frequency according to a decision result of the decision unit, comprising:

a display unit coupled to the decision unit for displaying frequencies corresponding to broadcasting signals having intensities smaller than a predetermined value among the plurality of broadcasting signals according to the decision result of the decision unit; and

an input interface coupled to the decision unit and the modulation unit for receiving signals outputted from a user in order to determine the operating frequency;

a modulation unit coupled to the receiving end and the selection unit for transforming the audio signal provided by the audio source generator into a broadcasting signal according to the operating frequency determined by the selection unit; and

a transmission antenna coupled to the modulation unit for emitting the broadcasting signal outputted from the modulation unit to the audio player device in order to play the broadcast signal by the audio player device

wherein the predetermined value changes according to the intensities of the plurality of broadcasting signals.

10. The multimedia system of claim 9 , wherein the predetermined value is a fixed value.

11. The multimedia system of claim 9 further comprising a storage unit coupled to the input interface for storing the determination result of the user.
