Appl. No.:

12/180295

Inventors:

Peter D. Menninger - Langhorne PA, US
James M. Quinn - Riverton NJ, US
Peter J. Body - Pottstown PA, US

Assignee:

Traffic.com, Inc. - Wayne PA

International Classification:

G06F 15/16

US Classification:

709246, 709203, 709208, 709209, 709223, 709231

Abstract:

A scanner system provides real-time remote acquisition of a scanner's audio signals and visual display, and real-time remote control of scanner operations, including settings and functions. The scanner system may be used to gather information in a regional market by listening to geographically distant broadcasts available on radio spectrum frequencies. By synchronizing multi-spectrum monitoring, audio delivery, visual cueing, and control of spectrum reception, geographically independent persons can process scanner information as if they were physically present in the market. Thus, operators can gather information from public agencies and radio broadcasts from a remote market as if they were present in the market. The scanner audio signals may be used to produce traffic reports.
