Abstract

Provided are a broadcast switching device, method and terminal for switching between broadcast modes of a terminal, and the broadcast switching device includes: a second signal broadcasting unit; a first signal broadcasting unit; a signal reception module, connected respectively to the first signal broadcasting unit and the second signal broadcasting unit, configured to receive a first signal and a second signal and receive preferentially the first signal; a parsing module configured to parse the first signal to acquire signal strength of the first signal; a determination module configured to compare the signal strength of the first signal with a preset broadcasting strength and obtain a comparison result; and a switching module configured to control the signal reception module to receive the second signal when comparison result is that the signal strength of the first signal cannot meet the preset broadcasting strength. By means of technical solutions of the present disclosure, a digital broadcast signal can be switched to an FM broadcast signal when signal strength of the digital broadcast signal cannot meet broadcasting requirements, thus providing a user with optimal audio expe…
