Abstract

Commonly targeted advertising is used to attract a specific demographic towards a particular product and/or service. An advertisement can be presented over a vehicle radio that relate to a route while a user is driving. Advertisements can be directed to a user, including such information as a user name, a user's destination, contextual information, etc. Advertisements can be masked to appear as thought they are part of a standard program; for instance, a normal radio advertiser's voice can be used.

Claims (26)

1 . A system, comprising:

a recognition component that processes a break in a program broadcast; and

a splice component that integrates user-specific travel information upon the break.

2 . The system of claim 1 , further comprising a disclosure component that presents the program broadcast or the user-specific travel information.

3 . The system of claim 2 , further comprising a feedback component that communicates a user response to the presentation of the user-specific travel-information.

4 . The system of claim 1 , the user-specific travel information is a commercial detail.

5 . The system of claim 1 , the user-specific travel information relates to an intended destination, route waypoint, route metadata, or a combination thereof.

6 . The system of claim 1 , further comprising an estimation component that anticipates the break, the recognition component utilizes the anticipation to process the break.

7 . The system of claim 1 , further comprising a generation component that produces a user profile, broadcaster profile, program profile, or a combination thereof, the integrated user-specific travel information is based upon at least one profile.

8 . The system of claim 1 , further comprising an assembly component that constructs the user-specific travel information.

9 . A method, comprising:

anticipating a break in a broadcast of a program relayed while a user is in transit; and

selecting a user-specific detail to be presented during the anticipated break, the user-specific detail relates to the transit of the user.

10 . The method of claim 9 , further comprising disclosing the selected user-specific detail during the anticipated break.

11 . The method of claim 10 , further comprising performing a fiscal operation in conjunction with selecting the user-specific detail or disclosing the selected user-specific detail.

12 . The method of claim 9 , further comprising constructing a user profile, program profile, program broadcaster profile, or a combination thereof, profile information is used to anticipate the break or to select the user-specific detail.

13 . The method of claim 9 , further comprising monitoring the program broadcast.

14 . A system, comprising:

means for evaluating at least one user-specific detail; and

means for selecting a user-specific detail related to a user route for presentment during a program broadcast break based upon the evaluation result.

15 . The system of claim 14 , further comprising means for altering a non-user-specific detail into a user-specific detail, the evaluation takes place upon the altered user-specific detail.

16 . The system of claim 15 , further comprising means for appraising the non-user specific detail, appraisal result is used to alter the non-user-specific detail into the user-specific detail.

17 . The system of claim 16 , further comprising means for changing the user-specific detail to increase likelihood of being selected.

18 . The system of claim 14 , further comprising means for adjusting a template to create a user-specific detail, the evaluation takes place upon the created user-specific detail.

19 . The system of claim 18 , further comprising means for designating the template for use in constructing the user-specific detail.

20 . The system of claim 19 , further comprising means for changing the user-specific detail to increase likelihood of being selected.
