Abstract

A system includes a local social media context server aboard a vehicle, the local social media context server including logic to implement a local social media context for a passenger aboard the vehicle, the local social media context being configured with a duration commensurate with a duration of a trip by the passenger on the vehicle; an antenna coupled to the local social media context server; and logic to prioritize content posted to the local social media context by the person for promotion to the person's global social media context.

Claims (39)

1. A system comprising:

a local social media context server aboard a vehicle, the local social media context server comprising logic to implement a local social media context for a passenger aboard the vehicle, the local social media context being configured with a local social media context duration commensurate with a trip duration for a trip by the passenger aboard the vehicle;

an antenna coupled to the local social media context server;

logic to transfer aboard the vehicle from a network external to the vehicle, via the antenna, a configurable subset of a global social media context for the passenger aboard the vehicle;

logic to determine a monetary price for promoting content posted to the local social media context to the global social media context on a priority basis, the monetary price dynamically determined based on a determined delay for promoting the content on a non priority basis;

logic to overlay content of the local social media context onto a display comprising the global social media context; and

logic to configure a merge set of the local social media context and to cause the merge set of the local social media context to merge into the global social media context at a conclusion of the trip by the passenger aboard the vehicle.

2. The system of claim 1 , further comprising:

logic to configure a subset of the local social media context to promote, via the antenna, to the network external to the vehicle.

3. The system of claim 1 , further comprising:

logic to set the local social media context duration to persist through vehicle stops and passenger disembarcations from the vehicle.

4. The system of claim 1 , further comprising:

logic to synchronize the local social media context into the global social media context according to a configurable set of rules.

5. The system of claim 4 , further comprising:

logic to synchronize the local social media context into the global social media context selectively according to a location of the vehicle.

6. The system of claim 4 , further comprising:

logic to synchronize the local social media context into the global social media context selectively according to available bandwidth between the vehicle and the network external to the vehicle.

7. The system of claim 4 , further comprising:

logic to synchronize the local social media context into the global social media context at set milestones of the trip by the passenger aboard the vehicle.

8. The system of claim 4 , further comprising:

logic to synchronize the local social media context into the global social media context prioritizing content for one or more of close friends, family, or co-workers.

9. The system of claim 4 , further comprising:

logic to synchronize the local social media context into the global social media context prioritizing content for identified events local to the vehicle.

10. The system of claim 4 , further comprising:

logic to synchronize the local social media context into the global social media context by applying a filter to exclude from promotion content for specific people or events of the global social media context.

11. The system of claim 4 , further comprising:

logic to synchronize the local social media context into the global social media context prioritizing specified content types.

12. The system of claim 4 , further comprising:

logic to synchronize the local social media context into the global social media context prioritizing specified types of posts.

13. The system of claim 4 , further comprising:

logic to synchronize the local social media context into the global social media context by converting large content into representative smaller content.

14. The system of claim 1 , further comprising:

logic to select the content for the local social media context based on votes by passengers of the vehicle submitted to a portal.

15. The system of claim 1 , further comprising:

logic to set the monetary price for promoting content based on an expected delay for promoting the content on the non priority basis.

16. The system of claim 1 , further comprising:

logic to set the monetary price for promoting content based on anticipated upcoming changes in bandwidth conditions for communications external to the vehicle.

17. The system of claim 1 , further comprising:

logic to set the monetary price for promoting content to a fixed price for content below a certain size, and for content not below the certain size, to determine the monetary price dynamically based on the determined delay for promoting the content on the non priority basis.
