Abstract
Abstract The present invention relates to a device for the selection and memorising of radioelectric signals, comprising means for receiving and tuning radioelectric signals, and memory means for memorising tuning information relative to said signals; the main characteristic of the invention consists in the fact that control means are provided that automatically identify the source of said signals and memorises them in an established order, independently of the transmission frequency of the same.

Claim 5
Dependent Claim
35 words
Device for the selection and memorising of radioelectric signals according to one of the previous claims, characterised by the fact that the memorising is carried out in a memory (19) not of the volatile type.
Claim 6
Dependent Claim
31 words
Device for the selection and memorising of radioelectric signals according to one of the previous claims, characterised by the fact that said established order is in a mnemonic order easily memorable.
Claim 7
Dependent Claim
69 words

Claim 8
Dependent Claim
39 words
Device for the selection and memorising of radioelectric signals according to claim 1, characterised by the fact that the identification of the sources of said signals are received on the basis of a code inserted in the same signals.
Claim 9
Dependent Claim
36 words
Device for the selection and memorising of radioelectric signals according to claim 8, in which such signals are television signals, characterised by the fact that said code is the identification code of the known V.P.S. system.
Claim 10
Dependent Claim
42 words
Device for the selection and memorising of radioelectric signals according to claim 8, in which such signals are television signals, characterised by the fact that said code is the identification code provided for by the specific technical document 3262 of the E.B.U.
Claim 11
Dependent Claim
37 words
Device for the selection and memorising of radioelectric signals according to claim 8, in which such signals are television signals, characterised by the fact that said code is the identification code provided by the DIDON ANTIOPE standard.
Claim 12
Dependent Claim
34 words
Device for the selection and memorising of radioelectric signals according to claim 8, characterised by the fact that said identification code is extracted from the signal received by means of a special circuit (16).
Claim 13
Dependent Claim
47 words
Device for the selection and memorising of radioelectric signals according to claim 9, characterised by the fact that said identification code is extracted from the signal received by means of a circuit (16).comprising a signal generator of a window signal, active only in correspondence of said code.
Claim 14
Dependent Claim
62 words
Device for the selection and memorising of radioelectric signals according to claim 1, characterised by the fact that the memorising of said signals also provides for the memorising of the level with which they were received, and that, in the case in which the same source transmits on more than one frequency, only the signal which has the highest level becomes memorised.
