Claims Analysis
Total Claims: 13
Claim 1
Independent Claim
89 words
A radio signal receiver for a motor vehicle, comprising: a radio receiver having an RDS decoder which decodes digital signals that are convertible through the use of a table into traffic information; a navigation system having a route data storage, said navigation system containing said table; and a data link which forwards said digital signals from said RDS decoder to said navigation system, wherein said navigation system uses said table to generate the traffic information; wherein said navigation system enters said traffic information into a map section being displayed.
Claim 2
Dependent Claim
89 words
A radio signal receiver for a motor vehicle, comprising: a radio receiver having an RDS decoder which decodes digital signals that are convertible through the use of a table into traffic information; a navigation system having a route data storage, said navigation system containing said table; and a data link which forwards said digital signals from said RDS decoder to said navigation system, wherein said navigation system uses said table to generate the traffic information; wherein said navigation system enters said traffic information into a map section being displayed.
Claim 3
Dependent Claim
26 words
The radio signal receiver according to claim 1, wherein said navigation system enters said traffic information into a planned route of said map section being displayed.
