Introduction to RadioDNS

RadioDNS provides a way to link broadcast radio with internet services by translating broadcast signal information like frequency and program identification into hostname and IP addresses. It defines several services like RadioVIS, which delivers slideshows to enhance broadcast audio, RadioEPG for electronic program guides, and RadioTAG for user tagging of broadcast content. While RadioDNS has benefits, issues around governance, device support, and service servers need to be addressed for broader adoption.

- 6. What is DNS? Domain Name System is an internet standard to translate hostname into IP addresses.
- 7. What is RadioDNS? RadioDNS is an hybrid standard that defines a procedure to translate broadcast signal information into hostname / IP addresses.
- 8. How does it work? Extended country code CE1 Program identification C586 FM frequency 95.8
- 9. RadioDNS features Patent free Not for profit organization Uses existing infrastructure Based on existing Internet protocol Defined for AM / FM / HD Radio / DAB / DRM / Internet Provides a way to measure audience

- 15. RadioVIS features Send link of JPEG or PNG images Send text Send image and/or text links that user can click on Based on STOMP protocol (push) Based on COMET protocol (HTTP push)
- 16. RadioEPG RadioEPG provides electronic program guide on both current and future shows. timing contact details synopsis station logo ...
- 17. RadioEPG use cases "What's playing now?" "What's playing tomorrow?" "I want to contact the presenter." "Please, remind me when this program will play again."
- 18. RadioEPG features Defined for AM / FM / DAB / DRM / HD Radio / IP Common multi-protocol definition Uses HTTP Based on ETSI TS 102 818 XML; DAB EPG Can be used for station logo
- 19. RadioTAG RadioTAG provides a tagging framework to capture user interest in what they are hearing on the radio. A tag is a collection of meta-data that uniquely references a point in time to a specific audio service on a specific device.
- 20. RadioTAG use cases "I want to vote for this song." "I want to subscribe to the podcast for this show." "I love this song! I want to buy it." "I want to find out more about this news." "This ad seems interesting."
- 21. RadioTAG features Defined for AM / FM / DAB / DRM / HD Radio / IP Tag database is on broadcaster server User authentication User can add comments Support multi-devices user Support offline tagging
- 22. So, now, where to start? Configure broadcast signalling (RDS, AMSS, ...) Ask radiodns.org to add a record in the database Setup a web server Setup one of the RadioDNS service: RadioVIS RadioTAG RadioEPG Et voilĂ !
- 23. Issues Governance Veracity of information Do we want to create a RadioDNS Canadian domain administration? Devices We need more devices FM chips must be enabled in cell phones The more RadioDNS is used, the more cellular data is used RadioDNS service servers We need more solutions
